On 12-Apr-2001, the CD arrived, and on the morning of 13-Apr-2001, I
installed it without difficulty on some local GNU/Linux-on-x86
systems.  Installation involves running rpm (as root) on five files,
and little else.

In order to allow logins for our many users who have tcsh or bash as
their login shell, and suppy a couple of missing programs that I use a
lot, I copied the /usr/local/bin/{bash,less,script,tcsh} files into
/nue/usr/local/bin/.

It took only three small edits to the lcc-4.1.beta.8 distribution (see
the ChangeLog entry 2001-04-13 09:20:43-0600 for details) to get a
build and successful validation of lcc on GNU/Linux IA-64.  Now if
only someone can supply a code generator for that architecture
... :^)!
