I downloaded xphoon from agate.berkeley.edu and tried to run the xphoon executable straight out of the tar file. And I got this error about not recognizing an instruction. My guess it that since I'm running the AMD386/40 without a math co-processor, and the xphoon binary is probably compiled in a 486 system, there is probably some 486 instructions that my AMD386 can't handle (by the way, can any one confirm this assumption?). So I attempted to recompile the code, and I got the same out of virtual memory error. soo@sidc.com -- Jo Han Soo Seiko Instruments Dev. Corp. ARPA: soo@sidc.com
