  9. The only addition with respect to the 5th ACK distribution is the support
  10. for Solaris 2 on SPARCs. It also contains many bug fixes.
  11. Notes for the 5th ACK distribution:
  12. It is not wise to mix files created by the previous version of the Kit
  13. with files belonging to this version, although that might sometimes work.
  14. Many problems with the previous distribution have been fixed.
  15. The major additions are:
  16. - an ANSI C compiler
  17. - a LINT C program checker, both non-ansi and ansi
  18. - an Intel 80386 back-end
  19. - a SPARC code expander
  20. - a source level debugger for Pascal, Modula-2, C, and ANSI C
  21. - an Acorn Archimedes back-end
  22. - code-expanders for VAX, Intel 80386 and Motorola M68020 processors,
  23. and very fast Pascal, Modula-2, ANSI C, and C compilers constructed
  24. using these code expanders
  25. - a cc-compatible very fast C compiler for SUN-3 and VAX.
  26. Also added, but not part of the Kit proper are
  27. - flex: a lexical analyzer generator
  28. - byacc: yacc-clone by UCB
  29. - f2c: a Fortran to C compiler by AT&T.
  30. See the ACK installation manual for their copyright notices.
