The following was taken from their web site http://www.motorola.com/SPS/PowerPC/AltiVec/facts.html "The preferred programming environment is the C and C++ languages favored by embedded systems developers. Motorola is working with leading tools providers to develop simulators, assemblers, linkers and compilers to assure full support for the AltiVec technology." I wonder if anyone is working on incorporating the necessary compiler features required to take advantage of the EPIC/IA-64 architecture. It is not just another target. What are the issues of designing an Ada95 EPIC/IA-64 compiler? -- Keith
