Subject: Beebug C and other things...

Ian,

I have a full set of official Documentation and so on for the Beebug C
package, including the libraries and optional stand-alone code generator.
(Thanks to an academic site that bought some PCs and therefore didn't
need C for the BBC anymore.) Thanks for the offer.

Well done with the 32016 code. I hope that you iron the rest of the
bugs out quickly.

I know that a single pass compiler is out of the question.
I was thinking of a set of smaller routines that do the job in series.
Are the other smaller compilers sources public domain?
Would we be able to make any ported versions public domain?

Good. I am in the process of thinking about wiring the house up.
I shall lay three co-ax lines everywhere (TV arial, cable, one for
future expansion), and am thinking about what else would be a good
idea. Has anyone done Ethernet for a BBC (half smiley)? I am not
interested in Econet as it is Acorn Specific.
