    With the announcement of Rami El Charif that GCC-2.3.3 for DOS is
now available, I thought it might be appropriate to add this note as quite
a few people seem to be interested in trying out the Objective-C part of
GCC.  The Objective-C run-time that comes with GCC-2.3.3 has lots of problems.
In fact, the only machines I have ever heard anyone say that it works on are
Sparc and Next boxes.  It fails to work on most systems.  In fact, I don't
think anyone has yet claimed a success with it under Intel with any operating
system.  I know that it doesn't work under Interactive UNIX.  I have read that
it doesn't work under EMX either.  I have yet to read of any success with it
under 386BSD or Linux, but I could have missed something here.  The bottom
line is, don't be surprised if it doesn't work under DOS either.
    Hats off to Rami for just doing the port.  There was a lot of talk about
it, but he went ahead and did it.
