Come on now, what a silly statement.  GCC has been ported to the Atari ST
under both the TOS and Minix operating systems.  It apparently works on
1 Meg machines and works _well_ on 1.5+ Meg machines.  If THEY have
GCC there is no reason WE can't have GCC (don't ask me; I am busy!).

Now GnuEmacs, on the other hand, might just be "too big" for most Amigas...
