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.
