[comp.lang.c] Where is C for the AS/400

johnny@edvvie.at (Johann Schweigl) (08/19/89)

Does anybody know what IBM did with the C Compiler for the AS/400 ?
They spoke about it for a long time up to now, but did not show the product
yet. 
Any rumors ? Is big blue in fear of all the UNIX C freaks bringing chaos
and disaster in it's clean SAA world ?
Any answers appreciated ...

As far as I know, the IBM C compiler is still scheduled for release
"soon" (early 1990, I think).  I also just today received a flyer from
a company called Amalgamated Software who have announced a product called
Diploma-C (get it?), a C compiler for the AS/400, shipping in about the
same time frame as IBM.
