I've got a couple of questions I haven't been able to get satisfactorily
answered.  Perhaps someone can shed some light for me?

* What's the correct channel to report bugs and nits?  This group?  Some
  e-mail address?  Some non-electronic means?  What about patches that
  include AT&T source code?

  I've got some bugs, comments, and patches to send in about CC, cfront,
  and the build procedure, some of which are OS-dependent and thus perhaps
  not of global interest.

* Is distribution of cfront output permitted by the standard license, for
  exporting source code to products to sites without C++?

  I've got some stuff I'd like to write in C++, but it has to go under the
  standard MIT/Athena copyright (same as X11), and should work in C.
  Telling sites to get g++ or cfront is an option, but probably not the
  best one.

Sorry for bringing this to the whole net, but other avenues have proven
uninformative.
