All of the Vax PCC implementations are derived from the 32V
compiler. There was significant work done on the compiler for
the System III release. The independent parts were changed at
Bel Labs in Indian Hill and the machine dependent (code generation)
parts were changed at Bell Labs Murray Hill (USG land). The USG integrated
all of the changes to produce the Sys III PCC. There was a fair
exchange of the bugs in the 32V compiler between the labs (research and USG)
and the bsd people and many nits were fixed. As a result the System III
compiler was adopted by one and all as the new base for the VAX PCC.
Since then we seem to have gone our separate ways.
