But you're right, I do need to see if I still have a copy of K&R "C"
in the basement as it might help jog my memory. Thank you.
I had to put NetBSD 1.4.1 on a MicroVAX II here, as the later versions
seemed to have missing files from the MOP boot, and versions more recent
than 1.5 are not recommended on such an old machine. IIRC, gcc on 1.4.1
was egcs ~2.0. If you'd like me to test anything on this configuration,
let me know.
