  Hi Ian,
 
    As soon as I got into work this morning I downloaded the code and saw 
the "-taso" option. The GNU ld on Alpha GNU/Linux doesn't have an equivalent
"-taso" options but the "-Tfoo" options are supported. I'll try and see if 
I can fudge some numbers for those and see what happens. 

    I think it would be better if the code were 64 bit clean. I was using 
the system browser and noticed that the C emitters default to type "int" if
a declaration doesn't exist for an argument. I couldn't find any examples
of how declarations are specified. Does anyone know how to specify these?
If I could get the smalltalk code to generate properly typed C code the
corresponding C code should compile and run on 64 bit and 32 bit platforms.

    I already tried changing the default "int" to "long" to see if that would
be a quick fix for the Alpha, but the translation didn't finish before I 
left work. I'll let ya know if I get any farther.
