The SWAR
Homepage at Purdue University has the latest released
version of the Scc compiler, as well as a WWW CGI version of the
compiler that you can use without having to download the
compiler. If you use the CGI version, you'll also need some
header files from the compiler, which I also have posted

Scc_3dnow.h,
Scc_ia32.h,
Scc_mmx.h,
Scc_athlon.h, and
swartypes.h.
