[comp.sys.dec] Uncompress and Gcc for VMS?

jsun@hubcap.UUCP (John K. Sun) (07/15/88)

hello, USENET readers,

	Some recent postings showed that rdss.ucar.edu has the source
code for the gcc compiler that runs under VMS.  Could some kind  soul 
on the net tell me what the numeric address is?  It just happen  that
rdss.ucar.edu is not in our hosts file.

	Also, someone mentioned  about  cu20b.columbia.edu  contained
source codes of Kermit (in BLISS) and uncompress/compress for VMS,  I
tried to ftp them  yesterday but found no files in the ftp  directory
at cu20b.columbia.edu.  Could anybody clarify this?

I think this works too, hubcap!johnksun@cs.clemson.edu

  That host is running some kind of wierd software that starts you
out in the middle of nowhere.  Try 'cd k2:' followed by 'mget vmslz*.*'
The "vmslz*" stuff is the vms port of the unix compress.  It's pretty
extensively modified.  The source on cu20b is in some sort of "archive"
format.  It's just some ordinary ascii files concatenated together with
a one-line header for each new file, so don't let the .ARC file extensions
fool you.
