i am interested in finding out what GNU stuff has been ported to the 3B2 (400/500), System V 3.2.1. i understand that Groff is a reasonable replacement for DWB, but requires a C++ compiler. has GNU C been ported to the 3B? has GNU C++ been ported (or is GNU C a prerequisite)? has Groff been ported to normal C? thanx -- [ Jim Mercer jim@lsuc.On.Ca || ...!uunet!attcan!lsuc!jim +1 416 947-5258 ] [ Systems Facilitator - Law Society of Upper Canada, Toronto, Ontario, CANADA ] [ Standards are great.

One thing at a time. Groff NEEDS C++. I tried compiling it on a 3B15 with AT&T's C++ 2.0, but had no luck. No biggie, that system already has the real nroff/troff anyway.. Now, gcc and g++. Yes folks, there IS a port of the GNU gcc compiler for the 3B2/3B15 line of computers.. G++ requires gcc as a prerequisite. The bad news? Of course there's bad news!!! It is NOT finished, and it's a port of an old version of gcc. I have the source to gcc and gdb for the 3B2 on my system at home. I am trying to coordinate an effort to complete and modernize this port. I also have binaries for gcc which I just received.

I don't have a working copy of this but I know of someone that says they have been able to port GNU C to the 3B2. > has Groff been ported to normal C? Don't know? I have have GNU Emacs, working on my 3B2. I'm currently working on getting Bash Shell to work on my 3B2, I don't have it working yet, but again I know someone that has it working. Please post any other software that has been ported, as I am interested in what is out there. -- Paul A. Reitelbach * There's a way to do it better - Computer Programmer/Analyst * find it.

I work on two 3b2-600, on which i installed smail2.5 and deliver 2.0.1. Here's what i have.. tetris (note that it's first in the list, hehe) arc/zoo/etc. bash 1.06 ffind ppscpu (cpu monitor) mon386 (the real thing) patch micro emacs gnu tar obfusc (c code obfuscator) xcmalt (communications program) plus a bunch of tools... not much, really. Oh yeah, i also have a semi-working basic interpreter. No way, cant compile gcc... a friend now says that maybe there's a chance to do it, but have no time to check. Among some useful tools, xvi is a binary editor, very well done. Dunno if it's copyrighted or nor since it's coming from my fellows in france. greets, Paolo -- Paolo Ventafridda -*- INTERNET: venta@otello.sublink.org TELEMATIX MILANO - Via C.Gomes 10, 20124 Milano - +39-2-6706012
