Apologies if this belongs in the 'most frequently asked questions'
file, but I did hunt for the information before posting...

A long time ago, someone brought to my attention some UNIX-based
cross-development tools for the Macintosh.  I'm not sure whether the
toolset was in the public domain, or simply available for a nominal
license fee from Stanford.  I think the name of the toolset was
SUMACC, and included an assembler, C compiler, and linker.  Does
anyone have any information about the toolset?  Is it available via
FTP from sumex-aim?  Is it still being maintained?

To forestall the inevitable "...but what would you want THAT for when
you can use LSC, MPW, <product name here>" posts, I'll admit that I
know these products exist and are without a doubt the bee's knees for
Macintosh programming.  I'm still curious about SUMACC.  So...anyone
know about it?

If y'all send me e-mail instead of posting, I'll be happy to
investigate and summarize.
