The GNU C compiler is now available for ftp from the file
/u2/emacs/gcc.tar on prep.ai.mit.edu.  This includes machine
descriptions for vax and sun, 60 pages of documentation
on writing machine descriptions (internals.texinfo,
internals.dvi and Info file internals).

This also contains the ANSI standard (Nov 86) C preprocessor
and 30 pages of reference manual for it.

This compiler compiles itself correctly on the 68020 and
did so recently on the vax.  It recently compiled Emacs
correctly on the 68020, and has also compiled tex-in-C
and Kyoto Common Lisp.  However, it probably still has numerous
bugs that I hope you will find for me.

I will be away for a month, so bugs reported now will not be
handled until then.

If you can't ftp, you can order a compiler beta-test tape from the
Free Software Foundation for $150 (plus 5% in Massachusetts, or
plus $15 overseas if you want air mail).
