I have ported the AT&T C++ Tranlsator, release 1.2 to our Multimax
running UMAX 42. (3.3.0). The port involved only one snag, which had to
due with byte-ordering on the NS32000 series chips. After isolating the
problem, the fix was simple, and we now have the main data structures
course in our undergraduate program using it on a daily basis. The fix
was a simple ifdef change in a header file which I won't list here
since it may not even be a problem with 2.0.

Who is your AT&T contact for this? The license we have was handled
through our CS department, but I would be interested in upgrading to
2.0.
