I'm trying to bring up Ingres v7.3 from the source code supplied with BSD4.2,
on a Sun II (running v2.0 of the Sun OS).  Since the Ingres makefiles are
written to run on a VAX or a PDP, several changes are necessary.  Has anyone 
else tried this?

The first problem is with the file "bmove.$(CPU).s" in the directory "gutil".  
There are two files provided, one in VAX assembler, and one in PDP assembler.  
Fortunately, the C equivalent is given in comments, so I created a new file 
"bmove.SUN.c", with the C code, and changed the Makefiles accrordingly.  
Hopefully this will work (albeit a bit slower than if I could code it in 
assembler).

There's also a file "exit.PDP.s", but no corresponding VAX file; I assume this
is because Ingres uses the standard C exit routines on the VAX (?).  I ignored
this file.

The next problem is with file locv.s, another assembler file.  Here I assume
the PDP assembly code and the VAX code are identical, because only one file is
provided.  (Is that possible?  I don't know either VAX or PDP assembler, nor 
for that matter 68K assembler.)  The file is not commented sufficiently for me 
to figure out what it's supposed to do, although it's almost trivially short; 
the only comment is "C library -- long output conversion".  Does anyone
know what it does?  

There are several other error messages, but hopefully most of them will
clear up when (if) I get the above problems fixed.
