- I have a copy of the 10 shar files and 2 patch files that make up
- version pcomm 2.0.2, which, I believe is current. I've put a tar
- file of these sources on
- ftp.cs.caltech.edu:pub/3b1/tmp/pcomm-src.tar.Z
- I'll keep this here for a while anyway. It should stick around
- until the end of the year.
-
- From the Readme.7300 file:
- 1) This version of Pcomm *REQUIRES* the pseudo-tty and socket
- emulation library called "uipc" found on osu-cis.
- This isn't actually strictly true -- I use pcomm with the loadable
- driver that came with mgr. What pcomm really needs is select(). In
- any event, since the binary I made for myself is "non-standard", I
- won't include it the archive.
-
- Also new to the archive is gcc 2.3.1. This differs from the 2.2.2
- binary distribution in that collect.shar is now part of the tar file.
- You really should make and install collect (as ld). Otherwise using
- the -shlib option to gcc will cause problems. It handles C++ as well.
- The file collect.shar.Z is now found on its own in the subdirectory
- gcc2-objects.
- ftp.cs.caltech.edu:pub/3b1/gcc2-bin.tar.Z
-
- For a while, I've put the binaries for the cross compiler in the
- archive as well. They were made on a Sparc IPX running SunOS 4.1.2,
- and may not work on any system but my own. If you want to try, get
- ftp.cs.caltech.edu:pub/3b1/tmp/gcc-sparc-crosscompiler.tar.Z
- Again, this is a temporary addition to the archive. It too will go
- away, probably, again, at the end of the year.
