- version 1.42 can be found via ftp on prep.ai.mit.edu. supposedly the
- 2.2 version is availible from a site in florida (there's a pointer to
- it in the directory on prep.ai.mit.edu), but when i checked the
- florida site last week, there was only a file saying tht the 2.2
- compiler had been temporarily removed.
-
- i'm using it and it works pretty well, although it has a couple of
- minor annoyances, such as not passing the .C file into the $OPEN as a
- related file spec for the .obj and .lis files. this means you get
- funny names like ".;1" if you specify something like "/obj=dev:[obj]"
- on the command line without the file name itself. also, "toupper()"
- and "tolower()" in "ctyp.h" don't do what one expect, they merely
- add/subtract 32 from the argument rather than testing the input arg
- for the proper range.
-
- more info can be gotten from newsgroup gnu.gcc.help or
- help-gcc@prep.ai.mit.edu.
