I am sure that people who are using Minix not only want to program
|
|
in C. But actual the ACK-C compiler is the only public compiler
|
|
for Minix. In this package comes a pascal compiler and a pascal
|
|
debugger for Minix 1.7.0 / 16-Bit and later. As a additional
|
|
feature comes a pascal compiler which produces C Code. The first
|
|
mentioned compiler does not support the complete standard of pascal
|
|
but I hope that the second will do. I know that in the second are
|
|
a few bugs. At the moment I am designing a new one which should solve
|
|
all the problems of the first.
|
|
|
|
Since a half year I think about a modula-2 compiler. Now I have
|
|
decide to implement a pascal compiler and a modula-2 in one. I
|
|
hope that this product comes at the end of this year.
|
|
|
|
A product what I want to design is a pascal interpreter. But at
|
|
the moment I do not know if I should implement it together with
|
|
an debugger. I think it could be a good idea, if I implement it
|
|
in the same product as the new pascal/modula-2 compiler.
|
|
|
|
Modern operating systems should have a C++ compiler. So since
|
|
1 1/2 years I program at one. Since 2 weeks a have finished the
|
|
work and I can say that it runs under AIX, SUN-OS, SUN-SPARC,
|
|
DOS, WINDOWS 3.11, WINDOWS 95, OS/2 WARP 3.0. ***BUT*** not under
|
|
Minix. I do not why. I think it is a problem of the library. But
|
|
I do not find the reason. I am still searching like a crazy man
|
|
and I hope that I will find it this year.
|
|
|
|
This mentioned problem is a reason to build a debugger. For this
|
|
I have a lot of ideas and I have started the implemention. But
|
|
I have no date when the debugger is ready for using.
|
|
|
|
Dr. Woitzel said that it would be interested to have a FORTH
|
|
interpreter/compiler for Minix. I am still designing it and
|
|
have started with the implementation.
|
|
|
|
For the implementation of TQ, I develop a lot of new aspects in
|
|
programminglanguages. To read about them look on my home page
|
|
under the point RESEARCH PROJECTS.
|
|
|
|
Finally I want say one sentence about TQ. It is an object oriented
|
|
language for distributed systems. If you want to hear more about
|
|
that, please read the file README.TQ
|
|
|
|
So, now you see what I do all the day. If you have wishes or
|
|
something like that, please let me know.
