[u3b.misc] Ports of GNU products to 3B2's

jim@lsuc.on.ca (Jim Mercer) (09/20/90)

i am interested in finding out what GNU stuff has been ported to the 3B2
(400/500), System V 3.2.1.

i understand that Groff is a reasonable replacement for DWB, but requires
a C++ compiler.

has GNU C been ported to the 3B?
has GNU C++ been ported (or is GNU C a prerequisite)?

has Groff been ported to normal C?

thanx

Don't know anything about Groff?

I don't have a working copy of this but I know of someone that says they have
been able to port GNU C to the 3B2.

Don't know?

I have have GNU Emacs, working on my 3B2.  I'm currently working on getting
Bash Shell to work on my 3B2, I don't have it working yet, but again I know
someone that has it working.

Please post any other software that has been ported, as I am interested in
what is out there.
