Hi John, 

> Is the Ew430 your own compiler or is it a GCC ?

EW430 is IAR's compiler.  CrossWorks for MSP430 is our own compiler and
toolchain.

> The CrossWorks for ARM is GNU GCC.

It is.  I decided I didn't want to write an ARM code generator over
again because it's like writing two code generators (ARM and Thumb
mode).  I already wrote an ARM code generator for our Modula-2 compiler
in the 1989 timeframe, a long time before ARM became mainstream.

GCC does a much better job on ARM than on the MSP430.  There are other,
very good reasons for basing the ARM project on GCC, and it's not to
sell software...

The AVR compiler is based on our own toolset, no GNU software in the
equation at all.

Any idea when it'll be available?

Code complete.  Documentation lacking.  We hope this month, but don't
bet the farm on it.

Paul,

what is the price for Crossworks in US dollars, and do
you have a US distributor,I could get it from?



Thanks
Tony

To be a nitpicker, the line actually is :
" I have detailed files ..."

(BTW, were you initially dissapointed with T3 as I was ?
That's what happens when you take James Cameron out of the
equation ! )

Well, I don't watch it that much.

I was disappointed with T3.  Not much of anything in it, it's just T2
warmed over with a girlie instead of a bloke and a bigger CGI budget.
The kids enjoyed it, it's the only Terminator film they've seen.

Hi Paul,

> Well, I don't watch it that much.

I recently had a Terminator craving so I treated myself
with viewing T1/T2 again, hence the recollection :-)

The only main flaw that bothered me is that Stan Winston claimed in an
interview that "all Terminators (model 101) look the same", hence why
Arnie re-appears in T2.
Yet in T1 when a Terminator infitrates the "underground shelter",
it's a different dude.
I guess Cameron didn't know yet in 1984 just how _huge_ his feverish
revelation from
Rome was going to be :-)
It certainly kickstarted his career and others (Gale Anne Hurd etc).

Big movie buffs here, can't you tell ? :-)

T3 seems to grow on me a bit, Jonathan Mostow is a good director,
but the whole thing seems to just screw about for too long at the start to
middle part of the story, maybe just the script...

Maybe it's also because ILM's CGI in T2 was such a huge quantum leap
back then compared to T3, dunno.

Now I agree with you again! T3 was crap compared to the others

Hi Al !

Indeed long time no hear...
I'm sincerely pleased we're on the same wavelength here, as in the
TRF post as well.
