FX!32 is a product that lets you run Intel binaries on an Alpha. It doesn't matter if they are generated from assembly code or a high-level language. You lose speed due to emulation, but it works. I ran Shredder on my Alpha for a while, it was an Alpha-native version of Shredder, but the Winboard that connected it to ICC was an x86 binary, it worked just fine. I also often use an x86 version of "grep", the performance of which is acceptable. I have heard several people deride FX!32, but I think it is a wonderful stop-gap. bruce
