I've just finished a full port of the Sozobon-C C compiler to the Amiga
and wanted to upload it to comp.sources.amiga, but I can't seem to make
contact with Bob Page, the moderator.

	The address "page%swap.Sun.COM" is rejected by the mail daemon at a
nearby site.  Can anybody tell me Bob's address?

The port is a substantial rework of Joe Montgomery's work, which fixes a
few bugs and generates XDEF and XREF directives for Charlie Gibbs A68k
Assembler.  I also ported over the optimizer from the Atari version.  It
does some interesting optimizations which makes the code more efficient as
well as reducing the overall size.  The source also includes a port of a
comprehensive PD library of the standard C functions, and some glue code I
wrote to interface to the motorola ffp routines.

I also have a version of amiga.lib which I generated myself from AmigaBASIC
.fd files which came with my 1.3 enhancer kit.  I believe the cloned
library should be freely redistributable, but I've included the source for
the .fd parser and some hand coded glue routines that were missing from the
.fd definitions just in case.

The result is a fully working C compiler environment for the Amiga - if I
can ever get ahold of Bob!
