library standalone, licensing, and 68000, xenix

Thanks for putting this up, it brings back memories because I started my career doing whitesmith's C.

I think the most valuable part here is the C library, which though non standard was quite innovative. It would be nice at some point if someone took up the project of making the C library a separately downloadable item, with appropriate make files or configure files or whatever. But of course, you would need to clarify what the licensing is on that component, should someone care to use it in their project (which is unlikely to be fair, but would be good to get clarified).

I'm also curious because my vague memory is that we used the compiler on Xenix to build for MSDOS, Xenix and Motorola 68000, and the Motorola was a cross compiler. Does this include what we would have been using ?
