If so, is autocad ABI We have an Amiga in the office running Commodore's 1.1 version of System VR4 and I would say that it is not ABI compliant. We also have various other 68030 machines running V.4 from Motorola and binaries taken from these machines and run on the Amiga box result in core dumps. Looking at various header files on the Amiga and comparing them against the Motorola 68k ABI, I think that they have quite a way to go before they are ABI compatible. keith holder. Obviously, these are my opinions and do not reflect the opinions of my employers who just so happen to produce a version of V.4 for the Motorola 68k. -- -- Keith Holder, Systems Software Consultant, UniSoft Ltd.
