In my earlier description of the problems doing correct register saves/restores, I forgot to mention that the code in the task library *works* for VAXen and perhaps for 3bX as well. This is because the register save mask is on the stack on the VAX (and maybe the 3bX as well). However, on machines where the register restore is described by a code sequence (eg 680X0 and i386), robust register restore is hard (impossible?) given the current user interface to the task library. -- Peter Lamb uucp: uunet!mcvax!ethz!prl eunet: prl@ethz.uucp Tel: +411 256 5241 Integrated Systems Laboratory ETH-Zentrum, 8092 Zurich
