Description:	The current revision, 0.6, is interfaced with Fraser and Hanson's lcc front end. The result is a highly fast C compiler with good code selection and no global optimization. Project Status: Chop compiles and runs a number of small test programs on the Vax. I'm currently updating the NS32k and 68K retargets for lcc compatibility. After I get them working, I'll work on getting the system to compile itself, get struct assignments working, improve the code quality and compile speed, and run the SPEC benchmarks. That will be rev 1.0.
