I ordered your distrib tapes in 1990 for VMS suite of programs, and use GCC
quite a bit.  I was trying to get GCC to be the default c compiler for INGRES to call when it created 4GL and found that they used symbols with UPPER and also 
some with lower case first letters.  I found that GAS would accept lower case
symbols without problems, but if a symbol started with an UPPERcase letter,
it would append an offset to the symbol name.  Is this a bug or ANSI?  I don't
know much assembler and toyed with GAS to verify the fact that it did create 
symbols with offsets attached, but was wondering if anyone has fixed it or
if there was a later version that did not do that?  

ps.  I just found out I can get to internet mail from our network, so this is
my first message outside the confines of dupont.  Thanks for any help you can
send.
