Sumacc is available free of charge and works quite well.
You do need a Vax running 4.1bsd, 4.2bsd or Eunice to use it
in its distributed form.  If you don't know anybody that you can
get a copy from, there is a company in Sunnyvale CA who will send you
a tape for $65.  I'm willing to mail out ordering information if anyone out
there wants it.

If anyone knows a good reason why someone with a copy of Sumacc would want
to buy the Megamax C Unix cross-compiler, I'd be fascinated in hearing it.
