Re: Creation of Sparc (32-bit) port.



All,

It seems that people are very keen to see 32 bit support die.  Who do
I have to contact to get a separate 32 bit sparc port set-up?  As
suggested before, we can give the new port 6 months, and see what
happens?  At the moment, 32 bit future is not looking good, at least
let's go out trying!

Thanks,

Chris.
