This >compiler will compile programs that will run in 32-bit mode on an 80386. 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.
