No, draft 7 is obsolete now. Use draft 8. I don't recall the changes as being significant, but it is probably not a good idea to reference draft 7. The dwarf committee had been planning one method of publishing dwarf3 and we were waiting for certain things to happen. For various reasons the intended approach no longer seems viable for us. (leaving this all vague intentionally :-) So we will be (hopefully soon, but no promises) creating a new web site for dwarf. However, I cannot promise when that would happen. Because of the hiatus, the public comment period is not considered to have really started yet (though comments on 'draft 8' on the dwarf2 email list (dwarf2@els.sgi.com) would be welcome at any time). I am the owner/maintainer of the list, so list issues should be sent to me. >Dave Anderson has written a helpful comparison of DWARF2 and DWARF3 on >his web site - > http://reality.sgiweb.org/davea Thanks. Corrections and suggestions on the comparison document are welcome: send such to me or the dwarf2 list (your choice). Regards, David B. Anderson davea@sgi.com http://reality.sgiweb.org/davea
