Several weeks ago, I made a request for information on C to 68k cross
compilers in net.unix. Here is an edited summary of what I received.
I hope I included everything. For all those who responded, I thank you.

I would suggest that you contact Associated Computer Experts (ACE) in
Holland. They have an excellent range of native/cross compiler software.
You can contact them by email ( ..!mcvax!ace!willem), or by normal paper
mail:
	ACE Associated Computer Experts bv

(Don't be put off by the address, they speak excelent english !)

Microtec has a good cross-compiler environment. Their C does a really good
job of optimizing. It is written in Pascal.

They have an assembler, linker, and 68K simulator/symbolic debugger
also available. The assembler has a few things we wanted to improve, so
we got source (in Fortran). Specifically, the assembler turns
	move     xx,0(An) into a reference to 0 off of An, instead of
				(An), which would be more efficient.

We changed that, and also made all possible move Dn,#x instructions into
moveq's (we don't have to worry about wiping out the high word/byte in
our applications).

In any case, everything works just fine.

I have never used it;  I did save it "in case I'd ever need it".  If you'd
like me to ship you the files (94946 bytes shar, 53935 compress/uuencode)
let me know.

The company I used to work for, Intermetrics, has a bunch of cross
development tools for the 68k including compiler, assembler, a
source level debugger that runs using an ICE, etc.  I do not
know whether it runs under system V but it was developed under
a 4.1 system and may have been ported to system V since then.
Their number is 617-661-1840.

I just bought our system, called the MC68000 C Compilation System, from
AT&T Technologies.  I checked it on simple programs but have not gotten into
real usage yet.  It comes in cpio format on a 600-ft tape.  Twitch is the
same processor, same system.
