Hello All,
    I have a program that calculates digits of the irrational number Pi
by Carey Bloodworth. It's a great program and is the fastest program of
it's kind currently available. I would like to make it available for as
many platforms as possible including Minix! Unfortunately I do not have
access to a machine with Minix on it or even one with a Minix cross
compiler. So I would very much appreciate it if someone running Minix
could compile the source and send the executables for me to post on the
web.
    The source is currently available at
http://www.geocities.com/EnchantedForest/5815/pi_agm_src.tgz . Compiling
it should be simple since it has already compiled under many Unix's with
no modifications. The only thing you need to do is compile the pi.c
file. All the other (2) files are included from there. If you have cc
you can just execute the build script. It would be very nice if the
program could be compiled with some standard optimizations (like -O3)
and the executable sent to me compressed in a standard compression
format (like tar and gzip). I hope this is not too much to ask. Thanks
in advance.
