I want to port KCL to either AT&T 3B2 and/or 3B1 machines. Any hints or suggestions will be helpful. Yes, I know this is quite a big application for this machines but some departments are not willing to have a staff or money for couple of suns and vaxes (graduates students will do) and have supported lisp product. Thanks. -- - Kevin Hobson - TELEPHONE: Math -- (201) 932-5027 SRAC -- (201) 932-2492 - ARPA: hobson@rutgers.edu - UUCP: {ames, harvard, ucla-cs, cbosgd, moss}!rutgers.edu!hobson - BITNET: hobson@cancer.bitnet

The makes aren't right, and we found out one of the system .h files had to be changed in our ATT delivered c code, but it's an afternoon's bit of work. The 3b1 code has been an independant study of mine...only major hassle was with the unixsave.c file which writes memory images to disk - seems the 3b1 loader is serious about it's section pointer offsets, unlike the 3b2 loader. I'm working to document the changes I made for the 3b1 version (from the 3b2 version), but disk space is a hassle on the pc-7300 (20mb) version I borrowed from RIT, and my nice 67mb 3b1 was delivered without an os, so it will be a little while till I'm finished but thanksgiving looks like a good target. As there have been other requests, I will probably offer to upload diff files against the 3b1 code, if that's of interest. Oh yes, I wrote a new file called unixpcsave.c to replace the 3b1 version. Good luck. And if you get a version of the documentation for plain old nroff, could someone let me know where to get it? Thanks.
