I've just finished a full port of the Sozobon-C C compiler to the Amiga
and wanted to upload it to comp.sources.amiga, but I can't seem to make
contact with Bob Page, the moderator.
The address "page%swap.Sun.COM" is rejected by the mail daemon at a
nearby site. Can anybody tell me Bob's address?
The port is a substantial rework of Joe Montgomery's work, which fixes a
few bugs and generates XDEF and XREF directives for Charlie Gibbs A68k
Assembler. I also ported over the optimizer from the Atari version. It
does some interesting optimizations which makes the code more efficient as
well as reducing the overall size. The source also includes a port of a
comprehensive PD library of the standard C functions, and some glue code I
wrote to interface to the motorola ffp routines.
I also have a version of amiga.lib which I generated myself from AmigaBASIC
.fd files which came with my 1.3 enhancer kit. I believe the cloned
library should be freely redistributable, but I've included the source for
the .fd parser and some hand coded glue routines that were missing from the
.fd definitions just in case.
The result is a fully working C compiler environment for the Amiga - if I
can ever get ahold of Bob!

"page@swap.sun.com" or "page%swap@sun.com" - "page%swap.sun.com" is not a legal address format. Of course, the easiest way is simply to post it to comp.sources.amiga -- he'll get it.

However, folks who don't have anything now must still get the include files from CATS. Not a big expense but still necessary. You can reach me at page@sun.com or page@eng.sun.com, or a host of other addresses. Heck, I'm still at page@ulowell.edu if you really want to send the mail there (but I don't recommend it). If you prefer to make the files available for me to FTP, let me know and I'll grab them. ..bob

This is actually error prone, since there's lots of different kinds of news software out there other than the Unix News B, and even *that* comes in many release flavors with different bugs. Some possible problems: his news software might not be aware that it should forward to moderators, or it might not know the correct moderator address, or it might try more or less the right thing but screw up the exact phrasing of the moderator's address, or it might just throw it away. Possibly the worst possible case is if it *seems* to go off somewhere, but never actually reaches Bob. This includes some scenarios where it is sort of posted to the group illegally, and some receivers trash it as illegally posted and others allow it. Such problems are hopefully rarer now than they were in the past, but wasn't he on Bitnet? Who knows how it works thru such torturous paths. Posting to moderated groups and depending that your software will do the right thing is reasonable *only* if you've done some local research to determine whether that has a chance of working correctly.
