Glen,

Unfortunately, what I have IS NOT the Gnu C compiler.  It's Bruce Evans' own
homebrew C compiler.  It isn't anywhere near as complete or elaborate as GCC,
but it DOES run in 64k!  Here's my shot at a revised blurb:

--------
9.8 Bruce's 32 bit 386 Cross Compiler for PC Minix

     Bruce Evans has made the binaries of his experimental 386 Cross Compiler
available.  The compiler is unfinished but is good enough for most Minix
sources.  In particular, it can be used to bootstrap the forthcoming 32-bit
version of Minix.  The compiler runs under normal PC Minix and can generate
either 16 or 32 bit code.  The assembler, linker and support libraries are
included.

     The compiler binaries are available from the Mars Hotel BBS in the file
BRUCECC.TAZ (in the Minix file area).  They are also available via anonymous
FTP from the host hobbes.cs.umd.edu (IP address 128.8.128.41).
--------

Or something like that.  By the way, thanks very much for maintaining the
Info Sheet, Glen.
