You rock for having something before MIPS ;-) (Note that other
architectures like CRIS are also affectedâ just, MIPS probably
has the broadest impactâ even I have a FreeWRT WLAN AP.)

Sorry I canât provide any feedback because Iâm out of my depth on
both the hardware and the requirements aspect.

Sometimes they [people] care too much: pretty printers [and syntax highligh-
ting, d.A.] mechanically produce pretty output that accentuates irrelevant
detail in the program, which is as sensible as putting all the prepositions
in English text in bold font. -- Rob Pike in "Notes on Programming in C"
