[] What exactly is the "pcc". Is it a portable C compiler? I am looking for a C compiler that can be ported (with whatever work is needed) to the RSX-11/RT-11 environment (PDP-11). I have used the Whitesmith products and find them completely unacceptable, and I have used the DECUS C product, which does not support non-floating point hardware code generation. Can anyone help?

I once used Whitesmiths' C on RT-11 and RSTS/E, with very little trouble. I had to come up with a System V compatible library for it, although I understand you can get one commercially now (Plum-Hall?). One wonders what problems you're having and why you are not getting satisfaction from Whitesmiths, Ltd. Have you a maintenance agreement? You really don't want to port a compiler if you don't have to, although in the case of PCC there is already a UNIX PDP-11 version that would be close to what you need (but watch those licensing fees!). Coming up with the library routines (especially I/O) would be the hard part if you start with the UNIX PDP-11 PCC. ? I thought the latest DECUS C compiler supported floating-point.

Have you tried to get info on the AZTEC C compiler for the pdp11. Check out byte. The ad may not list the pdp11 but i beleive that they do have one for at least RT-11. I agree about the whitesmith.. tnx Gary W. Sanders (N8EMR) ihnp4!cbnap!gws AT&T Bell Labs (Columbus,Oh) -- test of sig file
