There's one overriding detail that you should consider. You're working for the professor. He's your customer. The customer makes the rules. The old saying "The customer is always right" is true. Most people don't know there's a second half to the saying. "The customer is always right, or he's no longer a customer", meaning if you don't do it his way, he could easily fire you, and rightfully so. Regards, bt
The IEEE Computer Society publishes "The Software Project Manager's Handbook", by Dwayne Phillips, available at http://www.computer.org/cspress/CATALOG/bp08300.ht m. It's essentially a cookbook on how to run a software project that not only explains in non-academic terms what should be done, but how and why it should be done. It's an excellent guide for developers who want to break into management and for helping inexperienced PMs to not mess things up. We've been using it on the task I manage and life is a lot easier for all of us. I recommend it to everyone in our field.
Regardless of what anyone thinks about spam, the ACLU has an effort to ensure that spam is protected under the Constitution. I have been assisting them in this effort by forwarding to them at freespeech@tjcenter.org a copy of every example of spam that I receive. I am sure that they appreciate the wide variety of subject matter that I have provided.

You read it the same way I did... A CPU that can run multiple instruction sets.
