They +are also on labrea.stanford.edu as well as prep.ai.mit.edu. +My changes are to enable gas to produce Apollo COFF object +files and allow gcc to parse some of the syntax extensions +which appear in Apollo C header files. Note that the +COFF encapsulation technique cannot be used on the Apollo. + +The tar file should be unpacked in the directory containing +the gas-1.34 and gcc-1.37 directories; a few files will be overlaid, +and an APOLLO-GCC-README file will appear in the top directory. +This file contains detailed instructions on how to proceed. + +These changes will only work for SR10.1 or later systems, using +the 6.6 or later version of the Apollo C compiler. + +If you do not have ftp access, I can mail you the changes in the +form of diffs; they are approximately 40K in length. If you request +them, be sure to give me a voice phone number so I can contact you +in case I can't send you mail; I've had several requests in the +past from people I can't contact. + +By the way, I'm working on getting the GNU C++ compiler running; +there are a couple problems to solve.
