In SunOS 4.0 and greater, the format of object files has been changed so that older versions of AKCL don't compile anymore. This has been fixed some time ago. The current version on Rascal.ICS.UTexas.EDU (128.83.138.20) is -rw-r--r-- 1 root 706107 Jan 8 16:39 akcl-1-530.tar.Z You will find it in the `/pub' subdirectory of the anonymous FTP archive. I recommend that you use GCC as the back end of the KCL compiler (if you have it). As of its current version, it will generate slightly worse code than Sun's new optimizing CC, but the compilation speed is usually MUCH higher. -- Simon.
