I was intrigued by the postings about g++ and decided to get a copy. Lacking FTP access, I tried to go through Princeton's BITNET FTP Server. Here is what I got back... >From: Princeton BITNET FTP Server <BITFTP1@pucc.princeton.edu> >To: DAVE.JENKINS@office.wang.com >Subject: BITFTP REPLY > >12:44:43 > FTP grape.ecs.clarkson.edu UUENCODE >12:44:43 > USER anonymous >12:44:44 >>>> Access to GRAPE is not currently supported, >12:44:44 >>>> due to protocol difficulties. The obvious questions I have are... a) What does this really mean? (TCP/IP versions?, Wierdness?) b) Is there anything I can do about it? (Magic incantations?) c) Is there another way to get there? (Other FTP Servers, etc.?) In an attempt to be a good little dobee I checked my most recent SIMTEL20 listing before trying. (Which, of course, doesn't mean I couldn't have missed something.) Any help is appreciated (email preferred, will post if usefull).

(Other FTP Servers, etc.?) Actually, BITFTP ought to support grape now, because we've switched grape from a PC running KA9Q to a Xenix box. But anyway, anything you can get via FTP you can also get via modem: (315)268-6667. You may need to generate a break -- Xenix doesn't autobaud well. -- --russ <nelson@clutx.clarkson.edu> I'm proud to be a humble Quaker.

Grape is sysV, and it's FTP doesn't support BITFTP. > The obvious questions I have are... > a) What does this really mean? (TCP/IP versions?, Wierdness?) > b) Is there anything I can do about it?

I've gotten permission from the friendly neighborhood sysop at Clarkson to upload g++ on their Unix archive as well as the DOS archive. The unix archive has its own mail-service system, called the Archive Server. To get instructions: % mail archive-server@sun.soe.clarkson.edu Subject: help index msdos/djgpp send msdos/djgpp readme ^D The g++ archive is msdos/djgpp. DJ dj@ctron.com
