The simple truth is that no one (so far) has wanted to       invest the time necessary to take a super old copy of GCC and make it run on       MVS3.8J in less than 16MB, when there are superior products (like JCC and       Dignus) available.              It wouldnt be too difficult to work with GCC 3.2.3 to make it run in a region       of around 3MB using disk work files. I have actually looked into this, but       just havent had the time to sit down and make it happen.              Joe              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
