 A few questions about compilers for Minix.

1)  When will the ANSI C ACK compiler become available from Unipress etc?

2)  Will it be fully ANSI compliant (eg. floating point)?
 
3)  Has anyone attempted to port f2c from the anonymous ftp directories on 
     research.att.com to any small model (64+64) system? (For those who don't
     know about f2c, it is a FORTRAN to C converter which was used to 
     implement the original f77 compiler for version 7.  The one available
     for ftp is much more recent, so I don't know if it is still compatible
     with small machines.)

4)  Is it possible to add floating point to the current ACK compiler without
      having the ACK sources?  (I plan to buy the ACK compiler source from
      Unipress, but am stalling because of the coming ANSI version)

E-mail preferred. Thanks all.
