(5) Comments/Caveats
I originally got this compiler from Chris Terman at MIT, who was
using it with his own (non-Intel) assembler. I fixed it to produce
Intel compatible assembly code, and to use the segment registers.
It uses the Intel "long" model, so is not restricted to 64K. The
port is far from complete, and I won't be doing any more work on
it, but it will compile simple programs. It won't compile itself.

The distribution of Decus C (Public-domain C system for Dec operating
systems such as RSTS/E, RSX-11M, RT11, and VMS) contains several
cross assemblers for machines such as the Z80 and 8085 (I think).
Source code is in C, it should be possible to get it running on
any system that supports C.
(3) Availability/Terms /* who can receive it, any cost, university discounts,

It is distributed in source code and is in the public domain.
(4) Who to contact about it
Decus C is distributed by the Digital Equipment Users Society as
DECUS 11-SP-18. Contact them for more details.
(5) Comments/Caveats
There is no support available whatsoever.
(I don't think I've even compiled it for about three years.)

The source machine can be VAX/VMS, RSX-11, (and possibly in the
near future) PDP-11 Unix.
(2) The Destination " " " " " "
The destination machines can be a 68K, or a PDP-11. Much of their
work is oriented to doing small stand alone systems, (e.g., DEC's
Falcon board, single board 68K's.).

Contact Oregon Software, 2340 SW Canyon Road, Portland OR, 97201.
(phone is 503-226-7760). Cost is just under $4k, but there is a good
educational discount if the system is used for instructional used.
(4) Who to contact about it
(same as above)
(5) Comments/Caveats
This product is well supported, and comes with a wide varity
of tools and available options. Included with the system is
a full symbolic debugger, a couple source formatting tools,
and complete documentation. Available as options are a
concurrent programming package for developing, debugging &
testing concurrent systems, and a "Stand alone" package for
developing systems on target machines without an operating
system. Also available (pascal not required) is a source
control system for DEC operating system that gives the same
functionality as SCCS and Make, with additional programs for
downloading systems to target machines. The base price also
includes a free year of technical-phone help and updates.
Oregon Software will likely get into C in the future, but they
don't have any products in that field yet. I would be willing
to answer questions net people have about them until they get
on the net (I work for them occasionally).

(single/multiple cpu, binary/source right to sublicense etc.)

Contact is Andy Tanenbaum, at ...!decvax!mcvax!vu44!ast (Amsterdam)
(5) Comments/Caveats
The Pascal front end is based on our PDP-11 UNIX Pascal compiler
which is widely used in about 20 countries around the world.
The object code quality is pretty good, although compiling on a
badly overloaded PDP-11 is not real speedy. The thing is very
flexible, i.e. adding a new target machine just requires writing
two tables, one for the code generator, one for the universal
assembler. The kit has many options, e.g. you can choose 16 or 32
bit integers for C on the 68000. It even comes with some
documentation.

(4) Who to contact about it
The documentation I have lists Ted Hess, Digital Equipment
Corporation as the author and Joseph M. Newcomer,
Carnegie-Mellon University as doing this documentation.
(5) Comments/Caveats
It implements the featurs of the PDP-11 macro assembler for RSX-11D.
It does not conform to input standards of other assemblers (eg, the
manufacturers assembler), but instead uses the same input for all
the microprocessors. (ie, macros, labels, etc all look the same for
the various target machines)
I've used it quite a bit and found it fairly easy to use with only a
few bugs (none that I couldn't get around - mostly having to do with
phasing).
At least for the 6502 (and others???) it produces either a binary
file output or a Ascii encoded file of lines of Hex with checksums.
My version of the documentation is dated Feb 7 1981. I believe
[RUTGERS]<MICRO> has the documentation and executable code.

(5) Comments/Caveats
Creates analogues of cc, nm, ld, and adb. It works well, does
not support floats. The Z8000 is similar to an 11, so they are
nice micros for some applications. We are using the non-segmented
version (only 64K), so I don't know if the C compiler is available
for the Z8000 (16 Mb address space).

We are using the assembler as an assembler and have had

The compiler is good but not cheap. Presently prices are $3200-$3800 possibly
less if you already have a Whitesmiths license. Distribution is made on
magnetic media appropriate to the usual hardware configuration.

(5) Comments/Caveats
The compiler is a Whitesmiths Derivative. The full C language is supported,
including bitfields and floating point. Machine level support library (source)
is purchasable from VANDATA, and the Whitesmiths portable C runtime environment
for CP/M is available and supported.
The usual: assembler, linker, loader, librarian, and rel-file utility are
provided along with a number of useful tools including a multi-line regular
expression based stream editor.
A provision has been made for optional ROM/RAM environments, more compact
calling conventions and 8-bit expression evaluation. If used, these options
generate better code, but are not standard C. IEEE floating point may
also be available soon.
(some comments on this package were submitted by another netter)
We use the Vandata C cross compiler, target is z-80. We are trying
to bring up a BSO z80 cross assembler, but are doing file transfers
over our network to a cp/m running microsoft asm/linker in the
meantime. Vandata's Asharp/linker package isn't useful to us because
of the limitaions of the linker.

(5) Comments/Caveats
* The assembler uses a simplified notation (relative to
that proposed by NS) that is similar to NS' notation
but looks a lot more like the usual minimalist UNIX style.
* The assembler supports ALL NS16000 CPU, MMU, FPU, and
CSP (Custom Slave Processor) instructions.
* At this time, floating point support in the C compiler
is not completed. The C compiler is a modified PCC.
* You need an ATT UNIX license to receive this product.
* A subset of the BSD a.out format is used. In general,
related BSD utilities are useful (i.e., nm, ar, size....)
* You customize the sources for the ROM monitor, primarily
to accomodate your development system's async hardware.
Note that you only need ONE async line on the development
system; we run that line at 9600 baud.
* TSI will also be selling source for its V7 port, later
to be upgraded to System V with demand paging. You will
need an ATT UNIX source license to buy that package.
* Details on this offering will be made public at the
16k User Group meeting in New York City, April 18.
