I just installed my version of CFRONT 2.0 on my SUN4/280 running SUNOS 4.0.3,
and found that it does not support the tasking package.  According to the 
2.0 "Release Notes" (Select Code #307-090) page 3-23, it says that SUN2/3/4
workstations are supported.  The source code, however, says that only 
MC680xx stations are supported (and this is the case).  

This is quite dissapointing since I specifically ordered the release notes
(and other documents) first.  

Has anyone ported the tasking library to a SPARC architecture?
