Re: [Gems-users] Starting Checkpoints

[Dan Gibson <degibson@xxxxxxxx>]

There is an x86 patch for Ruby only. It is available, under the same 
restrictions as the rest of GEMS, in the GEMS download folder on the 
website (www.cs.wisc.edu/gems/distribute). You must use GEMS 1.1 for the 
patch (no x86 patch for 1.2+ has been developed). There is no x86 patch 
for Opal.

Dan
