+Welcome to SDCC, a freeware, retargettable, optimizing ANSI C compiler
+that supports a growing list of processors including the Intel mcs51
+family, the Zilog z80, the Maxim ds390 and the Motorola HC08.
+
+See share/sdcc/doc/INSTALL.txt for the installation instructions for
+the binary kits.
+
+See the share/sdcc/doc directory for more documentation.
+
+See http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/ for the latest information on sdcc.

+SDCC is a collaborative effort between a group of volunteers. Please
