I don't think it'll be a problem, really. a point to remember is to handle sign extending to 64 bits for negative inline constant ints. they will be signed 32 bit ints in the byte stream and must be properly assigned to a signed native 64 (or more) bit int in an I or PMC register. uri -- Uri Guttman --------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------- http://www.sysarch.com SYStems ARCHitecture and Stem Development ------ http://www.stemsystems.com Search or Offer Perl Jobs -------------------------- http://jobs.perl.org
