Lines: 14 In-reply-to: krouleau@MAESTRO.MITRE.ORG's message of 27 Jul 90 14:13:56 GMT I have obtained the Sun RPC 4.0 code and run it on both Sun and Apollo. I had to do a little modification to the XDR code for floating point on the Apollo (m68k & a88k) to get it to compile correctly. Sun only had the Sun and VAX in mind to compile this code, with the VAX code being used if 'sun' was not defined. So I had to add some extra #ifdef/#endif to get it to use the Sun code when it was an Apollo. This worked fine, since they both use the same, IEEE, format for floating point, while the VAX uses something else. There may have been a few other problems, but they were simple to fix. -- Alan Bair SPS CAD Motorola, Inc. Logic Simulation & Test Austin, Texas abair@turbinia.sps.mot.com
