Would people porting gnu software to Mac's please identify themselves to all of us who have lots of Mac's. We desperately want to run the same editor, compiler's, bison's, etc's. on all of our computer systems. (FYI. I'm writing this news posting from a Mac in our main lab.) We (the CS Dept.) are trying to provide our students with the same tools in all of the computing environments our students might be using. Some gnu tools are already very popular as they are free and work. Our students find gnu-emacs easy to get started with. Many of them have Mac's at home. It would be nice if our students could learn to use the gnu tools at home. They are very job concious and knowing the gnu.* tools will help them make good use of the "real" computers at school and at work once they leave the university for the real world. If you need help testing your Mac ports, we have people interested in being testers. (and later users) Please email me any info you might have. I will sumarize and post -- Stan Osborne, Computer Science Department, San Francisco State Univeristy Internet: stan@cs.sfsu.edu Usenet: cshub!stan Voice: (415) 338-2168
