[comp.sys.apollo] type managers / hardware configuration

krowitz@RICHTER.MIT.EDU (David Krowitz) (07/14/88)

Is the type mananger for a user-defined object type
executed by the node making the reference to the object
or by the node on which the object resides? Also, can
a program detect which CPU hardware it is executing on?
I would like to write a type manager for selecting the
proper version of a hardware-dependent library (eg.
the 3-D GMR library) so that if I wanted to bind to
the library gmr3dlib, it would automatically pass the
reference through to the gmr3dlib.881, gmr3dlib.460,
gmr3dlib.any, etc library depending on which kind of
node I was running on.
