C at UMIST

• GNU compilers on everything (ISD Support Level officially low, but high in practice) :
  • Cosmos: /usr/local/bin/gcc
  • Windows/Novell: M:\apps\Cygwin --- current status?
  • Just compiler --- no IDE, use your favourite text editor plus command line.
  
  
• Borland C on NT --- future at UMIST uncertain;
  
  
• MS Windows: Microsoft Visual C++ (CD available for 15 Sterling);
  PC Clusters?
  
  
• Solaris/Cosmos: Workshop compilers:

  /software/SUNWspro/bin/cc, CC /software/SUNWspro_4.2/bin/cc, CC. /software/workshop6 [untested]
