Well, it's time for me to 'fess up that this is out of my league... I'd 
have to spend quite a bit of time figuring out how to do this.

I presume that by "a small program to be run inside mol" you mean a 
program that would be run in the place of MacOS 9 under mol, to test 
whether you can use certain instructions inside mol and get away with 
it.... thing is, I'm not great on ppc assembler.


I'll just have to make sure I don't drop into macsbug until someone else 
figures this out or I get some serious spare time (which isn't going to 
be for a few months at least).

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Samuel for all his work on 
mol. It has really helped me to get my work done. I'm writing my thesis 
in LyX on Linux, but the program that generates the data for my thesis 
is trapped in MacOS 9. I will eventually port it, but it's gonna be a 
big job. In the meantime Linux and mol is a great solution for me. 
Thanks again Samuel. If you ever come to Australia I'll shout you a beer.

Ben.
