I'll make both my thesis and the slides of my Ph.D. defense public (electronic 
versions) as soon as the final submission is made in a very few days.  There 
aren't many slides, as the presentation part of the defense only lasts 20 
mimutes! [20 minutes to present 10 chapters was really challenging].  The second 
par of the defense was approximately 1 hours and 20 minutes of oral questions by 
five committee members.  Unfortunately, there is no transcript of the second part.

For students, the term finishes on Friday December 13th.  I give my last exam on 
that day.  So, I'll have corrections to do in the following days.

Now, given the incredibly exhausting term I had, this Fall, I will take real 
vacations away from my computer (as much as possible) until the beginning of the 
Winter term on Jabuary 6, 2003.  I really need these vacations.  The good thing: 
I have minimal teaching to do in the Winter term; most of my time is reserved 
for research (e.g. SableVM/SableCC development). :-)

It says so in the README file;-)

Inline-threading does work with gcc 2.95.x and with gcc (3.0,3.1,3.2). I have 
tested it on all these versions.

Have you tried the little inline-threaded interpreter (of the INRIA web site) on 
ia64?

Has been checked. :-)

Have fun!
