An Improved Version of Arch Robison's "hash8"
Some time ago, Arch Robison kindly provided me with a copy of his
"hash8" program, which gives long-id capabilities to all C compilers.
Briefly, hash8 replaces all long identifiers in a program with a
numerically-based identifier of 6 characters. Options allow things
like using debuggers with the original long names.
I have extended Arch's program with a shell script, "lcc.sh", which
does exactly what "cc" does, but compiles long-name programs. Unfortunately,
the script is quite system-specific, and I have an odd configuration
(68000 running UniSoft System V.0 with V7 compilers), so you will
almost certainly have to edit it before it is completely compatible
with your own "cc". Nevertheless, for those with older compilers,
this is a life-saver.
