Well, it may suit your needs, but it didn't suit mine well enough to justify
the disk space.  I like learning new programming languages, but I usually
don't have the time.  As I recall, it was on the old 125-meg hard drive
before I
switched to this 540.  It may still be on the backup tape.  Besides which,
my computer did all the work, I just watched it.

BTW, this system did NOT compile to C, it used the GCC back-end with a new
front-end.  This is entirely different from F2C (for FORTRAN) and P2C (for
Pascal and, I have been told, Modula-2.)  I despise compilers that convert
from one higher level language to another.
