I didn't get any floppies, and I had no contact to John R. Dunning. I just
downloaded the sources from

    http://www.umich.edu/~archive/atari/8bit/Languages/Cc65/

That must have been around 1996 or so. Since then, most stuff has been
rewritten from scratch. The assembler, linker, archiver and all other
tools are complete rewrites. Same for the library. The only piece that
does still contain some old code is the compiler itself. The whole package
is cross platform now, both on the host and on the target side.

The cc65 web site

    http://www.cc65.org/

has more information. There's also a - somewhat outdated - text file that
comes with the documentation and describes the differences:

    http://www.cc65.org/doc/newvers.txt

Do you have an email address of John? I never managed to get any hint on
how to contact him.

Regards

        Uz
