there has been a lot of discussion in the past regarding the huge cost of
source for the minix c compiler. has gcc (the GNU c compiler) and possibly
g++ (the GNU c++ compiler) been ported to minix? since it is essentially free,
this sounds like a very attractive alternative to the existing situation.

if it has not been ported, can it be ported? gcc is available in a number
of places (i know of UUCP access from osu-cis). gcc has already been ported
to the atari ST (but it has more memory :^). it is BIG and this might be
a problem on 640k systems.
