I am curious, actually. Perhaps you are referring to a used computer (such as a used PDP)? I would find it hard to find the memory needed to run GCC (on any but toy programs) for $750... What is this magical computer? Will it be able to compile GCC using GCC? I believe he may be refering to the Atari ST. Someone just recently posted a port of GCC v1.34 for the Atari ST to the atari newsgroup. I don't have an ST, so don't ask me for any more details, but if the ST is really powerful enough to run GCC, then I am impressed. For a little more money (say $2000), you could probably get a bare bones 16 MHz 80386 PC clone, which should run GCC fine (if you run Unix on it). -- +----------------------------+ !
