Hi,
	recently I've been seeing references to the 'pcc2' C compiler.
Now I'm quite familiar with pcc, but what is pcc2? A new and improved pcc 
or what?

	Thanks,
	Harry Reed

Yes.  See "Four Generations of the Portable C Compiler", from the Summer
1986 USENIX proceedings.  This also describes QCC and RCC, which are
subsequent developments to PCC2.
