In article <13946 at pasteur.Berkeley.EDU> ttam at cory.Berkeley.EDU I need the sources to a C preprocessor that uses only 8 characters writes:

You should check-out the comp.sys.3b1 newsgroup. Your system, actually the
Motorola 6300, was manufactured by Convergent Technologies for Motorola; a
logically-identical system is the 3B1 mfd. for AT&T; and the Convergent Tech
MiniFrame *IS* the same as the Motorola 6300.
GCC has already been ported to the 3B1, and I (recall having) had no problems
getting it running on either my 6300 or 6350 (two HDs). The 3B1 version at
Ohio State (uucp via osu-cis, ftp at cheops.cis.ohio-state.edu [128.146.8.62],
in the att7300 directory (the 3B1 is aka UNIXPC and PC7300)) "may" be using
the shared libraries (which aren't available on the 6300), but all the tm-*
and xm-* files for the 3B1 "should" allow you to recompile gcc no sweat.
I've changed the "followup" to comp.sys.3b1 and sent email to `ttam' with more
info (esp. regarding the Bay Area users' group).
