+ACK Modula-2 and Pascal compilers for Minix 2.0.0
+
+This directory contains the binaries and library sources for the ACK
+Modula-2 and Pascal compilers that can be added to Minix 2.0.0.
+(And to Minix 1.7.2 and inbetween versions, although that has not
+been tested well.) 
+
+Minix already has a C compiler derived from the Amsterdam Compiler
+Kit, but thanks to a misunderstanding the Modula-2 and Pascal
+compilers were not added to the distribution. The next distribution of
+Minix will have them by default. 
+
+Two packages are available for the 16 and 32-bit versions of Minix: 
+
+        ack_i86.taz     - 16-bit version.
+        ack_i386.taz    - 32-bit version.
+
+Installation
+
+To install use FDVOL to place the proper file on a floppy, and run 
+setup /usr under Minix to load the files onto your system. The
+binaries of the new compiler passes will be installed, several
+Makefiles replaced, and library sources for the Modula-2 and Pascal
+compilers added. (The 32-bit version also contains all other compiler
+passes to make sure that you have the latest binaries in case you
+source-upgraded all the way up from 1.7.0.) 
+
+Compilation
+
+Log in as bin. If your system runs in 16-bit mode then run make
+install in src/commands/i86/ to recompile the 16-bit compiler driver. 
+
+On either kind of system, run make install in src/lib/ to compile the
+Modula-2 and Pascal additions to the library. The compilers are now
+ready for use. 
+
+Manual pages.
+
+The manual page cc(1) will be renewed. It now focuses on the 32-bit
+driver, with differences with the 16-bit compiler noted where
+necessary. A new manual page ACK(7) is added that contains a large
+amount of additional information on the ACK compilers. Use 
+makewhatis /usr/man to allow the man command to find it.
