Since I have pumped two days "on the clock" and many hours off to get my
Minix up to snuff as a code development environment (for engineering!), 
I'd like to know: (1) who/where Peter Housel is, and if I could ask him
directly about his fp upgrade for cc, and (2) what version of gcc you 
have used on Minix, and if the .tar.gz distribution includes 
installation instructions.  FYI, I stumbled upon the c68 compiler via 
Glen's archive page, downloaded, uncompressed it (on our local SGI box - 
Minix choked!) and I got more fp warnings during compilation, and 
unpleasant results during execution (of the executable test code(s)).  
How big is gcc?  The .tar.gz file I saw was 6M, and that is 
*compressed??*.

If I'm a pain with all these questions, feel free to tell me where to go 
(literally AND figuratively).  Danke.
