Question to Steve or aps -- certainly V7's version could not pass the
validation test as distributed from AT&T and UCB (at Masscomp we actually
ran the validation suite through it in the our 4.1 Vax -- we decided it was
going to be too much work and we had started over with new front and back
ends when we created a compiler group with ex-DECies - C and Fortran being
the primary). But I assume at some time folks in Summit did the work on
making the AT&T version pass at least by the timer PCC2. Assuming it did,
do you have any idea when it was running through and got an official seal
as being validated?
