Noticed that there is aparrently some interest in EPIC, which at this
time is not yet supported by GCC.

My q is as to whether or not it is an open std, or is Intel going to
charge a head and torso for any other chipmakers to use it?

Will AMD be able to use it in an upconming K8 or whathever the next one
will be??? Or Cyrix (heard some talk of AMD buying Cyrix, though I don't
consider it likely right now, maybe after they've made some money w/ the
K7)
