The "commented in French" program I saw was a 6809 _assembler_, not a C compiler. I might still have a copy sitting around, though I did some house-cleaning recently, and it probably disappeared. 6809 assemblers are available from lots of sources, though (an assembler for 6809/z80/6502/etc was recently posted to alt.sources). Introl used to sell a C compiler for OS9/6809, and may still have one available. I don't know much about Introl's products firsthand, but I've heard that their compilers are pretty good, though a bit pricey. I've been working on Small-C for OS9/6809. The version I have now seems to work pretty well, though with the standard limitations of Small-C (no data types other than int, char, pointers, and 1-dimensional arrays). Generates assembly output for Microware's RMA assembler right now, though it could be altered for almost any assembler without too much trouble. It will be available on Delphi's OS9 SIG soon. - Tim Kientzle kientzle@math.berkeley.edu ucbvax!math!kientzle

I might still have a copy sitting around, though I did I remember seeing (and downloading from the Princeton Coco List) a 6809 *dis*-assembler with comments and variable names in French, written in C by Archimbault in Canada. Hmmm, that was Delphi I DLed it from, and promptly trashed it by editing it with Dynastar, which replaced all the real TABs with *nothing*. Maybe Tim saw a different program.
