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. total 244 -r--r--r-- 1 16 3667 Mar 6 1987 .LOGFILE.Z drwxrwxr-x 2 16 512 Dec 1 1987 ansitape -r--r--r-- 1 16 13439 Feb 24 1987 cut+paste.Z -r--r--r-- 1 16 20476 Feb 19 1987 dca2troff.Z -r--r--r-- 1 16 3823 Mar 2 1987 display.Z -r--r--r-- 1 16 1376 Mar 6 1987 display.pch.Z drwxrwxr-x 2 16 512 Dec 1 1987 ease -r--r--r-- 1 16 7636 Mar 2 1987 fixcpio.Z -r--r--r-- 1 16 9549 Mar 2 1987 foogol.Z -r--r--r-- 1 16 2560 Feb 27 1987 getpw.Z drwxrwxr-x 2 16 512 Dec 1 1987 graph+ -r--r--r-- 1 16 18429 Mar 2 1987 her2vfont.Z -r--r--r-- 1 16 14762 Feb 12 1987 hier.Z -r--r--r-- 1 16 6648 Jun 26 1987 index -r--r--r-- 1 16 5072 Jan 26 1987 index.1.Z -r--r--r-- 1 16 8917 Jan 26 1987 index.2.Z drwxrwxr-x 2 16 512 Dec 1 1987 jove -r--r--r-- 1 16 8855 Feb 9 1987 kurses.Z drwxrwxr-x 2 16 512 Dec 1 1987 mcp drwxrwxr-x 2 16 512 Dec 1 1987 micrognu -r--r--r-- 1 16 16934 Feb 9 1987 multi-feed.c++.Z -r--r--r-- 1 16 1886 Mar 2 1987 multivol.pch.Z drwxrwxr-x 2 16 512 Dec 1 1987 pd-localtime -r--r--r-- 1 16 24961 Feb 27 1987 phoon.Z drwxrwxr-x 2 16 512 Dec 1 1987 prep drwxrwxr-x 2 16 512 Dec 1 1987 psfig-tex -r--r--r-- 1 16 12844 Mar 3 1987 qterm.Z drwxrwxr-x 2 16 512 Dec 1 1987 se -r--r--r-- 1 16 6219 Feb 19 1987 shrink_names.Z drwxrwxr-x 2 16 512 Dec 1 1987 smail2 -r--r--r-- 1 16 3857 Feb 12 1987 soelim.Z drwxrwxr-x 2 16 512 Dec 1 1987 sp -r--r--r-- 1 16 3473 Mar 2 1987 tabs.Z drwxrwxr-x 2 16 512 Dec 1 1987 textools2 -r--r--r-- 1 16 5433 Feb 13 1987 trmatch.Z -r--r--r-- 1 16 9003 Feb 9 1987 uk-1.4.pch.Z drwxrwxr-x 2 16 512 Dec 1 1987 unaxcess2 -r--r--r-- 1 16 10540 Feb 9 1987 uucp.x25pad.Z drwxrwxr-x 2 16 512 Dec 1 1987 uumail4 drwxrwxr-x 2 16 512 Dec 1 1987 uutty drwxrwxr-x 2 16 512 Dec 1 1987 vn drwxrwxr-x 2 16 512 Dec 1 1987 vtrm
