[net.lang.c] C on Cybers

rro@csu-cs.UUCP (07/01/83)

I'm looking for a free (at least cheap) C programming system that
runs on CDC Cyber computers--the operating system is NOS 1.4 level 552.

No, wait, stop laughing!

We're hoping to teach undergraduates C as a transition to upper division
courses that use our systems, but we don't currently have the Unix
horsepower to teach that many more people; so, we need to use the
computer center's machines.  Thanks in advance.

Recently I asked about the availability of C on CDC Cyber machines.
Most responses pointed me to U of Texas, or asked to let them know
if I found out anything.  Here's what I know so far.

The University of Texas Computation Center has produced a version of C
for Cybers.  It runs in three passes requiring 100K, 200K, and 100K
respectively (octal values), so it's appropriate only for large Cybers
that are not very heavily loaded.

The person to contact there is Bill Lee, 512/471-3241.

I'll keep looking for something more useful in our situation.
