in reference to the following article from Mark Horton: * Uh, excuse me, but 4.xBSD does NOT come with the System III VAX pcc. * If it did, you would need a system III license to get 4BSD. Also, if * it did, you wouldn't be able to have names longer than 8 characters * that are the same in the first 8. * * 4.1BSD comes with a pcc from 32V, with flexnames added and supporting * the same structure field language chanes you described. 4.2BSD * supports the same C language but has a C compiler largely rewritten * at Berkeley. Uh, but *excuse* me Mark but I don't believe the 4.2 BSD pcc is 32V based. I suggest you check the following fragment of code from 4.2 BSD /usr/src/lib/mip/scan.c. You should find the following piece of code: 72 extern int idebug, bdebug, tdebug, edebug, ddebug, xdebug, gdebug; 73 extern unsigned int offsz; 74 int fdef = 0; 75 char *release = "PCC/364r1 vax uts3.0"; ** Am I blind or does line 75 tell me that this pcc is 3.0 based? ** -- Phil Hochstetler (503) 627-9811 Sequent Computer Systems ...!sequent!phil
