I'm OK with that, although I don't know MIPS assembler, nor anything about the MIPS instruction set (can't be too hard!) or its architecture. I presume I can copy bits from the Plan 9 code and more from the APE library, allowing for GAS's slightly different syntax. Thank you Russ for the information, I guess I know what I'll be doing the rest of today. Should this be of interest to anyone, my hope is that once I have P9P running on MIPS, I will be able to adjust the Plan 9 kernel sources to compile under GCC to bootstrap Plan 9 on the Yeeloong. No doubt there will be question that this list will be asked to assist with :-) ++L
