version 1.42 can be found via ftp on prep.ai.mit.edu.  supposedly the
2.2 version is availible from a site in florida (there's a pointer to
it in the directory on prep.ai.mit.edu), but when i checked the
florida site last week, there was only a file saying tht the 2.2
compiler had been temporarily removed.

i'm using it and it works pretty well, although it has a couple of
minor annoyances, such as not passing the .C file into the $OPEN as a
related file spec for the .obj and .lis files. this means you get
funny names like ".;1" if you specify something like "/obj=dev:[obj]"
on the command line without the file name itself.  also, "toupper()"
and "tolower()" in "ctyp.h" don't do what one expect, they merely
add/subtract 32 from the argument rather than testing the input arg
for the proper range.

more info can be gotten from newsgroup gnu.gcc.help or
help-gcc@prep.ai.mit.edu.
