Yes, a January '92 GNU's Bulletin was passed out at Usenix.  I'm surprised
that it's been more than a month without a corresponding posting to
gnu.announce.

Highlights:

	gcc/g++ version 2 to be released in March

	report on the status of the Gnu kernel (the GNU Hurd)

	Other front ends being worked on: Ada (funded by the Ada 9X
	standards committee), Fortran, Modula-3, Pascal -- none ready
	yet.

The "experimental tape", to be made available in March, will contain
gcc 2 (the three-headed cc/c++/obj-c compiler).  "It can generate code
for most of the same machines as Version 1, plus the IBM PC/RT, the
IBM RS/6000, the Motorola 88000, the Acorn RISC machine, the AMD 29000,
and the HP-PA (700 or 800).  Ports for the IBM 370, the Intel 960, and
the NCUBE are on their way... The old machine descriptions for the
Pyramid, Alliant, Tahoe, and Spur do not work, but are still included
in the distribution in case you would like to work on them."

[ I don't expect the c++ part to work on all the platforms that the c
part works on, but we'll see.  As of the 1.96 beta version, the documentation
for the C++ part of the compiler is still virtually nonexistent. ]

The experimental tape will also include gdb 4 (4.4 or 4.5, I assume),
the BFD (binary file descriptor) library, the Gnu C library, and
"GNU Graphics 0.17".

"GNU Graphics is a set of programs which produces plots from ASCII or
binary data.  It supports output to Tektronix 4010, PostScript, and X
window system or compatible devices".

There's lots more.  Len, post it, please -- stop information hoarding. :-)
