Engr Lines: 20 Back to the real issue at hand, is it possible to get gcc, etc. running on a 386 unix without buying the software development option? If I wanted to do software development, I would have no problem paying for a commercial compiler where the copyright placed on code is not as big an issue. I want gcc so that I can build the latest version of emacs, TeX, dvitps, hack, or whatever. I don't have time to worry about writing extensive software that might have commercial application, but I do like the capability to build applications from source code when I get my hands on it. I just don't want to have to pay for the vendor's software development package to do it. Which of the 386 unix vendors ship enough of the hooks in the run time version to allow gcc etc. to be installed? -- Kevin Allred allred@emx.cc.utexas.edu allred@ut-emx.UUCP
