We have System V for the 68k from ATT. Recently we have heard some
rumors that there's a new release of System V for the 68k from
Motorola. Does anyone know anything about this? If this release
exists and anyone has used it can they let me know?
What we are mostly interested in at the moment is the compilers.
We want to know if they've been fixed, improved or are exactly the
same as the previous release.
Thanks,
Lori Grob

This port has been worked on by both Microsystems and Computer systems and, as far as I know have done some major work in the C compiler area. You may want to check with Brad Holtzinger of Microsystems(..!hplabs!motsj1!bjh) for more specific information. Bill Gundry Motorola Computer Systems hplabs!motsj1!mcscpt!bill (408)864-4605/4265
