We are in need of Intel 8086 family Cross Development Tools. The package should include C compiler, assembler, linker, librarian, hex file generator, and possibly debugger. The package must run under 4.3BSD Unix on a VAX 11/780 or preferably a CCI 632/Harris HCX-7/Sperry 7000. All vendor/product info as well as personal experience/preference is welcome.

The MIT AI Lab has the Terman C compiler for the 8088/8086 which runs under 4.* Unix. Bell Labs has the Basic 16 tools which run under sys 5.*. Given the availability of fairly good compilers MSC and TurboC which run directly on the PCs, cross compiling does not seem to be the best way to do development.

OASYS (Waltham, MA) has ports of Microsoft C version 5.0 for Sun, Apollo, VAX/VMS, and VAX/Ultrix. They have the exclusive contract to provide ports of the Microsoft C Cross Development System. I doubt you could find a better solution. They seem willing to do other ports, and the price for a new port is supposed to be around $15,000. The number is (617) 890-7889. For my money, I'd much rather develop software on a large machine, where it's easy to share files with other developers, and there's somebody who is paid to make sure that the files get backed up. -- Rick Richardson, President, PC Research, Inc.
