Is anyone interested in hearing that I've nearly managed to get the ACK (Minix' native compiler) into a usable state? It supports ANSI C, K&R C, Pascal, Modula-2, Occam and Basic for a bunch of different architectures, which include i80, i86 and i386. The code isn't as good as what gcc produces, but it is a tiny fraction of the size, and it's also BSD licensed. I'm still working on the syscall libraries required for the ACK's own built-in libc, but if you didn't want to use that, it's more or less there now. (It should also be reasonably easy to retarget --- compared to gcc, at least. Does the 65C265 have a compiler?) -- +- David Given --McQ-+ "You cannot truly appreciate _Atlas Shrugged_ | dg@xxxxxxxxxxx | until you have read it in the original Klingon." | (dg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) | --- Sea Wasp on r.a.sf.w +- www.cowlark.com --+
