     <h1>Installation instructions for DEC OSF V4.0</h1>
 
+
+    <h2>Using DEC's cxx compiler</h2>
+
+    <p>
+    We have also made preliminary tests with DEC's cxx compiler,
+    version 6.0, on a OSF1 V4.0 system. This compiler seems to be
+    rather conformant and discovered a number of places where we
+    involuntarily seem to have used gcc's sloppyness. The largest
+    drawback was that version 6.0 of the compiler did not yet know
+    about the standard C++ headers <code>cmath</code>,
+    <code>cstdlib</code>, etc, which are included instead of
+    <code>math.h</code>, <code>stdlib.h</code>, etc. Otherwise there
+    did not seem unsurmountable obstacles to the use of that
+    compiler. 
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+    Unfortunately, we were not able to fully test the library on that
+    system, so there are certainly still a great number of places that
+    need minor fixes. Also, at present the <code>./configure</code>
+    script does not automatically recognize DEC's compiler. If someone
+    would want to provide us with a test account for a couple of days,
+    we would be happy to fix these things.
+    </p>
+
+
+
+    <h2>Using gcc as compiler</h2>
+
     <p>
     We have tried to compile <acronym>deal.II</acronym> on DEC Alpha
     workstations under OSF1 V4.0. The main problem seems to be that on
     source files, if you experience the problems described above.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
