PowerPC Gotcha2



I apologize for the second e-mail, I should have included this with the
previous one.

The PowerPC compiler is VERY PICKY about data types. It does even less
implicit type casting than the mv1xx compilers did. Please be extremely
careful about data types and make sure that any variable used to set
another variable is of the correct type or cast to the correct type. I
have included this information in the PowerPC Upgrade TroubleGuide, but
again, it is something to be remembered beyond the initial upgrade
phase.
