I also have investigated writing a C compiler for this machine and can personally attest to it being brain-damaged. Furthermore, if ANYONE is considering buying one of these pieces of junk I suggest you check first with me or anyone here at CMU. We (unfortunately) have a great deal of experience using these machines. John Zsarnay (Zsarnay@CMU-CS-A.ARPA)
