SOZOBON C, warning:

Although the compiler works more-or-less (I can mail the bugs I found tothose
those interested) the assembler is a MEMORY HOG.
I tried the assembler on a large file and it used nearly 512KBytes, whereas
the GNU Assembler was happy with 256Kbytes total memory (text+data+bss+heap+
stack) on the same file.
The primary objection is that there is the wish to have ,,the same compiler''
for MINIX-PC and MINIX-68K, so the SOZOBON compiler will be restricted to
experimental guys (BTW, is makes >950 Dhrystones).
But I encourage everyone to try it out, you can get it from the archives
in source code form. (sozosrc.arc, I think).
