I have heard rumor that someone has created a native code generator for sun4's. I can't find the posting I got this idea from. If anyone has information it would be greatly appreciated. I am interested in at least looking at the code generator, and possibly adding a back end for the 386. Does anyone have advice on how to approach this. I have casually looked at the existing back ends. Thanks for any info. David Brown dbrown@ucsd.edu

By Scheme 7.x, I assume you mean MIT Scheme version 7.x. If not,
please ignore this message.
There is currently no back end for the sun 4s, although several people
have expressed interest in porting it, or at least into looking at
what would be involved.
There is, however, documentation on how to write a new back end. If
you are interested, you can obtain it from
