Hello.
Our high school has recently received a Fortune System. This is some sort
of 512K archaic unix box running Version 7 on what we think is a 68000. 
As we have currently no useful software for it, and only an interpreted
version of BASIC, we would like to port gcc to it, perhaps by first
cross-compiling gcc on a NeXT.

We are not sure where to begin. We don't have any information
on the executable file format for it, nor any idea of what sort of lib
files we would need, or what traps may correspond to the various system
calls. These may be standard. The machine is running "Fortune-OS," which
looks like Version 7 Unix.

Thanks in advance for any help.
