At long last, here is a PRELIMINARY binary kit for Decus C which
supports floats and doubles. You need FPU hardware, or some kind
of emulator. It also emits inline EIS. Many, many bug fixes to
the compiler, complete overhaul of some of it, restructuring of
the library, more tools, etc. This kit is the result of a last
minute merge (late Tuesday nite 4-May) and may still have a few
problems. Some of the new versions of the tools have not been
tested on RT-11 ... worked fine on RSX. Thanks to Martin Minow at
DEC for doing 80% of ALL work on Decus C ('nuff said!!), Cliff
Geschke at Unimation Robotics, who did the massive overhaul of the
compiler, and Scott Roth, also of Unimation Robotics, who did the
library mods for floating point and other goodies.

The finally released kit will be available from the
DECUS library soon. PLEASE, if you want a copy of
the kit, sources and all, order it from the DECUS
library. I have gone nuts over the last year and a
half answering calls on problems due to partial and
corrupted kits. We're going to put together a
reasonable RT-11 kit. Anyway, THE LIBRARY CAN'T
CONTINUE TO EXIST IF YOU DONT BUY PROGRAMS FROM IT.
Please, think about it...

Library modules. CLIB has small "stub" floating format conversion
routines. If you use floating conversions in printf() and friends,
explicitly link in DTOA.OBJ, for floating conversions in scanf()
and friends, explicitly link in ATOD.OBJ.
