I had hoped to find some nice general subset that you could test on any reversible platform. Obviously, enabling reverse would differ between targ= ets, but once it is run running, the semantics have to be the same for the comma= nds which are common.=20 Then the precord-specific commands can be tested in their own right, right? =20 Best regards, /jakob _______________________________________________________ Jakob Engblom, PhD, Technical Marketing Manager Virtutech=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 Direct: +46= 8 690 07 47=A0=A0=A0 Drottningholmsv=E4gen 22=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 Mobile: +46 709 242 646=A0=A0 11243 Stockholm=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 Web:=A0=A0=A0 www.virtu= tech.com=A0 Sweden ________________________________________________________ =A0=20
