You've now crossed the line from in control to bleeding edge. 8-).
I've been focusing on Interfaces & Commands mostly.
Yes, the Type stuff should be architecture sensitive. It is designed to be,
but since not everything in that areas has been 100% finished, it's possible
some changes are still needed. Also, the data that has been loaded is IA32
in origin. I need to get comparable data from other architectures, and sift
through the differences.
Your comments are good, and I'll have them in mind as I continue working
in this area.
Gee, early feedback. What a pleasant suprise 8-)
