Stephen,

I am at the University Of Idaho and have been thinking about writing a C
compiler of my own for the Atari 8-bit computers.  But I have had no success
in finding the LEX and YACC specs for C, or for that matter any useful specs
at all.  I have recently obtained a copy of CC8/ACEC and have not yet got a
chance to look at it too closely.  Im on a VAX right now but am not sure that
it is an 11 or not.  Unfortunatly it does not run UNIX but it has EUNICE.  I
have access to a HP-9000 running HP-UX but I would be interested in trying to
work with it.  No guarentees though, I'm not sure I could ever get it ported
(This VAX is quite old, as is the software).  Does your code support standard
C floating point operations?  I know that none of the other available C
compilers support it.  Please send me some preliminary info and I will see if
it is at all possible.

P.S. I tried sending E-mail but got it back as "Address Unknown".
