I also fail to see any sense in this approach: Emulating some thing on a even way less performant architecture to at least get a program that is intended to do *performant* operations on *heavy* data is just hiding your eyes from reality. So I think restricting the package to architectures it is intended to work on is the proper way to go. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
