- NOTE: This is version 1.2 with some patches applied. The compiler
- compiles itself successfully with -O. The patches were announced on
- Usenet (I found one bug in jas myself).
-
- I also changed make such that it accepts command line parameters of the
- form MACRO=value on the argument line correctly.

- Announcing
-
- The Sozobon C Compiler
-
-
- A new freeware C compiler has been developed by Sozobon, Limited and is
- being distributed through bulletin board systems, networks of various
- kinds, and by direct mail. The package was written by Johann Ruegg, Tony
- Andrews, and Joe Treat and includes the following features:
-
- * Full K&R compiler supporting: bit fields, structure assignment,
- structure parameters and return values, enumerations, and floating
- point.
-
- * Full source code available at no additional cost.
-
- * Compiler includes: front-end, optimizer, assembler, and linker.
-
- * Code generation averages 5% to 15% better than Alcyon.
-
- * Uses Dale Schumacher's dLibs runtime library (version 1.2) for
- runtime support.
-
- * Generates Alcyon-compatible object modules and libraries.
-
- * A complete package, including utilities like: cc, ar, size, nm, and
- an enhanced version of a PD make program.
-
- * Includes a utility that removes local symbols from Alcyon libraries,
- reducing their size by around 30%.
-
- The entire system is being distributed as freeware. If you receive this
- announcement, but are unable to find the compiler, you can order it from
- us directly by sending $10 (checks payable to Tony Andrews) to:
-
- Tony Andrews
- 5902E Gunbarrel Ave.
- Boulder, CO 80301
-
- You'll receive one double-sided or two single-sided disks containing the
- compiler (source code and executables), documentation, and version 1.2
- of dLibs (includes source). Be sure to specify single or double-sided
- disks and include your full return address. The $10 charge covers shipping
- and handling only. The product itself is free. You're encouraged to make
- copies for friends, upload it to bulletin boards, or put it in the disk
- library of your local user's group. Help us get the compiler distributed,
- so fewer people have to pay $10 for it, and we don't spend the rest of our
- lives copying floppies.
