[Discussion] [Linux] Starting the move to MAC

[Bob Wonderly]

Doug

I poked around IBM's web site and found C++ for big versions of Linux 
which I don't have. Found lots of ref books for LPEX.

The GNU C compiler works on Mac so my C code has a "place to go".

I did find a C for Mac OS-X Power PC hardware but current OS-X runs on 
Intel platforms rather the Power PC.
