See PCC, the portable C compiler by
Johnson. E.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_C_Compiler for
further references.

Concerning your attempts to rewrite history concerning DEC and Ada: It
might be that you'r basing your comments on a possible pre
standardization involvment of DEC in the Ada development effort
between 1979 and 1983 when "Green" was finally chosen to become
Ada. Maybe DEC developed one of the Stoneman prototype
compilers. Information about this is difficult to find w/o deeper
research which I'm not in the mood to do now, and without you giving
any references (which you really should, given that you try to tell a
story that is different from what I know as accepted history). At the
very least you're emphasizing the part of DEC in Ada history beyond
all proportion (in another post some weeks ago you wrote something to
the effect that DEC owns Ada - WTF?). But the thing that makes be
really really suspicious is when you don't get thing right which (a) I
know better and (b) you could have found out with a bit research, I
even dare say: In some 10 years in the industry (and aren't you always
pretending you're such an old hand?) you could not have been able to
avoid learning some parts of the history, like about Johnson's
portable compiler.

So when everything is said and done, I begin to doubt especially the
things in your statements which cannot be checked immediately. 

And I would really appreciate if you stopped taking on a posture as an
expert and talk like "ex cathedra". There are simply to many half
truths and plain untruths in your grand sweeping oratories.
