Hello,

        I am a staff member working in the ANA group, and we would
like to experiment with scsh and the Scheme-48 system.  In order to do
so we will need to port it to the Dec Alpha.  I spent today trying to
do this, and I decided that I should find out if this has already been
done, as it looks like a relatively involved task.  If no one has yet
ported it, I would be glad to try, and any helpful advice would be
much appreciated.  The problems appear to be caused by the 64-bit
addresses and long ints, resulting in alignment errors and possibly
some incorrect bit twiddling.

I also located what I think is a semantically incorrect but benign error:

file  syscalls1.c, lines 129-130 should read:

  return (char const *)
      ((retval == -1) ? NULL : ( linkpath[retval] = '\0', linkpath ));
      ^                                                             ^

                        Thanks,

                        Lewis Girod
