I have minimized the ammount of assembler code necessary, -but some is. - -If you want to port it to another platform here are a few basic hints. - -You will need to create a machdep.h, machdep.c and syscall.S for the -new architecture. The first two are necessary to get the context switch -section of the pthread package running, the third is for all the syscalls. - -INCLUDE FILES AND PORTING -In addition to the above three files you need to create a slew of .h files. -Take a look at an existing port to determine what is in each, and then -take a look at your system header files to determine what to put in them. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Copyright (c) 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996 Chris Provenzano.
