DECUS C is kind-of a funny case. Whereas most C compilers are traditionally maintained and distributed as C source code, DECUS C is distributed and maintained in PDP-11 assembly language. For other C compilers, a significant milestone was when they were rewritten in C and compiled themselves. DECUS C is the odd guy out because it never tried to reach this milestone. In some sense this is a good thing, because it lets you build it on a machine without any access to any C compiler. Tim.
