[net.micro.mac] Availability of SUMacC for Pyramids

mcewan@calgary.UUCP (Duncan McEwan) (04/13/86)

Some weeks ago I tried posting this article to mod.computers.pyramid
and net.micro.mac.  I was later told that cross posting to a moderated
group and a net group may not work, so I dont think this made it to
net.micro.mac.  Since I did not get any replies from the pyramid group,
I thought it was time I reposted - my apologies to those who see
this twice - I did try...

I am trying to track down the availability of the SUMacC Macintosh
development system that runs on Unix, for the pyramid.  I believe the
system is mostly public domain, and available from Stanford, except
for the compiler.  Since it is based on Unix pcc, a source licence
is required for that.  Could anybody tell me what licence is
required (68K or will VAX do?).

I realise I could get the system directly from Stanford, but they
apparently only distribute VAX versions.  I will need a version of
the compiler that will run on a Pyramid.  Can anybody tell me if
the Stanford distribution includes the source to the compiler, or
do they only send out VAX binaries?

Any other info about the success or otherwise, of running this system
on Pyramids would be appreciated.

I would prefer replies by e-mail to alberta!calgary!mcewan since I
am logged on to this machine at Calgary via an x.25 packet switch
connection from New Zealand - so I dont tend to spend a lot of time
reading netnews.

Thanks.
