I can't give you anymore details since I myself have not performed this, but I plan to port the code to an Apollo in the near future. Can you keep me posted on your progress? Also, has anyone ported Apollo's NCS to a Sun SPARC station? Thanks. Kathleen Rouleau The Mitre Corporation Air Transportation Systems McLean, Virginia (703) 883-7898

I have obtained the Sun RPC 4.0 code and run it on both Sun and Apollo. I had to do a little modification to the XDR code for floating point on the Apollo (m68k & a88k) to get it to compile correctly. Sun only had the Sun and VAX in mind to compile this code, with the VAX code being used if 'sun' was not defined. So I had to add some extra #ifdef/#endif to get it to use the Sun code when it was an Apollo. This worked fine, since they both use the same, IEEE, format for floating point, while the VAX uses something else. There may have been a few other problems, but they were simple to fix. -- Alan Bair SPS CAD Motorola, Inc. Logic Simulation & Test Austin, Texas abair@turbinia.sps.mot.com
