A simple C compiler source code.

Simple C Compiler, Release 0.1.5
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Simple C is a portable C compiler based on Small C/386. It is designed
to run on Linux, but it should be usable on any Unix-like operating
system for the x86 with minimal effort.

This compiler generates assembly code for NASM. It also requires the
'ld' tool from the GNU project (or an equivilent) to create runnable
applications.

As Simple C is based on Small C, the conditions of the original
copyright apply to it. Essentially the only condition is that you can't
distribute this commercially without permission from J. Hendrix. See the
end of this file for more details on this.

Getting started is fairly simple. Gunzip and detar the sources, then run
the build script. To compile an application, use the 'cc' script and
wait a few seconds. Good luck and happy coding!
