Camp) Message-Id: <9009102236.AA15872@wubios.wustl.edu> Subject: experimental gcc for MsDos To: info-gcc@prep.ai.mit.edu Date: Mon, 10 Sep 90 17:36:34 CDT Favorite-Ice-Cream: Chocolate X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.3 PL6] There has been a little-known effort by John Hassey of Data General to modify gcc to produce code for MsDos. John has made valiant efforts, but has found the demands on his time too great to continue. I have made diffs between gcc-1.37.1 and his code. Unfortunately, the diffs consisted of over 3MB of text! I am not motivated at this time to try to simplify the differences to include the essential changes, so I am making the compressed diff file available as-is. Any hackers interested in continuing this effort will find the patches in wuarchive:pub/gcc-ms86.diff.Z (128.252.135.4). I can direct you to the full gcc-ms86.tar.Z file if you are interested. This compiler generates MASM code and runs on Unix systems. -David- david@wubios.wustl.edu ^ Mr. David J.
