[comp.os.vms] VMS GNU cc available via FTP and SPAN

corbet@ncar.ucar.edu (Jon Corbet) (06/01/88)

I have made the "bootstrap files" for the GNU C compiler available for
pseudo-anonymous FTP on rdss.ucar.edu.  While I was at it, I also threw
in the full gcc sources, for anybody who wants to start from scratch.

Before I tell you how to get the stuff, a request:  please limit your
access to outside the hours of 8-6 (mountain time) on weekdays.  RDSS is a
*very* busy machine during the day, and I don't think I have to tell you
what will happen if my users feel they are being slowed down by outside
people grabbing software.

The procedure is this: FTP to rdss.ucar.edu (128.117.80.1), and log in
with a username of FTP, password FTP.  Cd into the [.gcc] directory,
and grab either or both of these files:

	bootstrap.bck	The bootstrap files -- not much more than the
			.exe files.  About 1.3 mb.

	gcc.bck		The full-blown gcc source code.  About 5mb.

Both of these files are backup savesets, and should thus be grabbed in
binary mode.

SPAN people can grab the same files from rdss::du:[ftp.gcc].  If your
node database does not know about rdss, use 9452 instead.
