  Well, the GNU-Emacs distribution on apple.com is already ported, all
you need to do is compile it.  As I recall from an earlier version (the
GNU Emacs 18.44 port that shipped with A/UX 1.0) it compiled just fine
with the stock cc.  I think someone out there has already-built binaries
of GNU Emacs 18.55 for A/UX avail. for anon. ftp, if not I can probably
make my (somewhat out-of-date v18.44) copy available.

Rumour has it that MPW will run (with a minor patch) on A/UX 2.0, but not
1.1.  Get yer upgrade orders in now...

  Somebody posted here some time back about having ported GDB to A/UX, but
I don't recall seeing any announcements of availability of the port (via
anon. ftp, etc.).  I'd *love* to get ahold of this one.
   For GCC v1.37, grab the distribution from apple.com.

   You assume wrong.  The gcc distribution includes binaries for the C 
preprocessor and the main compiler itself (includes all optimization), as
well as the "gcc" driver program which calls the various passes.  You use
the standard A/UX assembler.
