Yes, thanks. I worked for a company called D-Cubed, who produce a
variational-geometry constraint engine for CAD systems. It currently runs
to 240,000 lines of C++ and breaks both the HP/UX and SunPro compilers on
mild optimisation. I'm going to compile it using gcc 2.7.2.1 on RiscBSD
and see what happens :-)

I've now seen the announcement - thank you all so much. I'll hopefully
have a machine around the end of October and would be very happy to
beta-test new A7000 kernels from then onwards.

Will do :-)
