Greetings, I wonder if anyone could give some advice on this: A friend has recently unearthed a 386i at her workplace, the machine had been bought to run a particular package that was subsequently found wanting, the 386i was split asunder and cast down into various dark cupboards.. Having resurrected the machine she's now discovered that it is 100% C compiler free. This seems like a ****** stupid idea for a Unix box, but I suppose it was meant for apps only.. So.. how to go about getting the C compiler?? Do you *NEED* the Sun offering or are binaries for gcc available from somewhere? Even if the gnu binaries are about, are the libraries, etc. still needed from Sun? What sort of cost (no-ones terribly interested in paying out for this) Help! bsyme@uk.ac.strath.cs cadu56@uk.ac.strath.vaxa

Somewhere there is a set of diskettes or a tape containing cc and all libraries. Type loadc to see which "optional clusters" are load and which are not. Alan Snyder asnyder@ernie.artorg.hmc.psu.edu
