Yes and no. I forgot an important word: "virtual" compiler. It will generate
virtual code that will be interpreted in the TriMedia, it will not generate
VLIW optimized code (but vectorial anyway). Sorry for this mistake.

And so we will try to exploit their work, not do it again :-))

The part that will be shared is almost complete, it needs clean-up, test,
etc... The platform dependent (TM) stuff will be developed in the next year
but,
as I said in the first e-mail with this subject, the source code will not be
released.
Best regards,
