Just reverse the bytes in an object file, and it runs on a different computer! This is indeed a revelation... Now, to make gcc truly portable, we just need to take one machine description and modify the back end it produces to run the generated code through this wonderful method (licensed, of course!). No more machine-specific back-ends!!! Incredible. Jacob (For the irony-impared: :-) through tears.) -- Jacob Gore Jacob@Gore.Com boulder!gore!jacob
