Subject: Thanks and questions


Firstly let me thank you guys for a job well done. I hope i can contribute
like you did.

Now onto the good news. I just finished compiling spim on the pc.
It compiled basicaly unchanged using gcc from djgpp with the following probs
1) Added missing includes from SUN /usr/include/sys and made changes to source
   to reflect additonal library
2) bison and cheap yacc i had did generate what spim wanted. Yacc output
   from sun worked fine so i used it.
3) Had to diable all the console IO stuff (ioctl stuff of course) so memory
   mapped IO does not work.
2a) I meant cheap yacc and bison did NOT generate what spim wanted.
Thats about it
all compiled nice and tidy. Took about two days.
I will post the executable if you say how .
Now i am trying to port the code to Borlan TurboC++ for Win ($75 bucks)
Also looks good except for 
1) Large memory structure - have to reduce to 64K for 386 ehanced
2) Missing byte block library. - bcopy, bzero, bmove, strlen 
   I need sources for these libs
any help would be greatly appreciated
once again thanks
deo
PS: Passed all included tests except floating point where IEEE makes difference
