        I am trying to port ATT task library on an apollo
(dn4000 - sr9.7), and I have troubles with the low-level
assembly coded part. The problem is related with the use
of the DB register that points to data segment of a file,
and that must be preserved in -i presume- the t_ap field
of the task class. With the apollo calling conventions, 
I can't see the way to preserve this value.

        Has anybody ported the task library on Apollo?
If it is the case, it would be *really* nice to send me the
diffs to task.c and the apollo_swap.asm file.
        In any case, any pointer would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
