	Cygnus offers commercial support for a wide variety of go32-based
DOS-hosted cross-target compilers aimed at embedded control. The cross-
compilers themselves are compiled on Sun workstations. It's complex, and
the entire process of preparing a release stretches somewhat beyond the
bounds of the archetypical GNU configure-make-run process, but it's
routine.

	For information about Cygnus support and quarterly releases
of the GNU toolchain, please email info AT cygnus DOT com. Also, see my article
in the February issue of _Embedded Systems Programming_ magazine, entitled
"Getting to Know Gnu."
