In any case, I really have to admire the people behind the project, translating tens of thousands of MIPS assembly instructions to C, documenting the C, then giving the documentation to somebody else to write the driver even though by that point you could write it backwards in a blindfold, that has _got_ to be hard and frustrating work. Cheers, Kyle Moffett -- Somone asked me why I work on this free (http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/) software stuff and not get a real job. Charles Shultz had the best answer: "Why do musicians compose symphonies and poets write poems? They do it because life wouldn't have any meaning for them if they didn't. That's why I draw cartoons. It's my life." -- Charles Shultz
