- David Eckelkamp at MCC has released a new set of patches for the 01nov91 release of
- Scheme->C. When used in conjunction with the earlier patches,
- MCC01-01nov91.patches,
- they do the following:
-
- 1. Correct support for some machines and fix a minor bug reading floating point
- numbers.
-
- 2. Add support for the HP9000/700 (aka snake), the HP9000/300 (the 68k based HP s),
- the SONY-NEWS machine, and partial support for the IBM RS/6000.
-
- 3. Include some features that were developed here at MCC, including CATCH/THROW
- functions, opaque objects, a simple object system using opaque objects, and a
- different interface to external C functions. The MCC additions are
- documented more
- fully in the file MCC-additions in the top level directory after this patch is
- applied.
