[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] GNU for MS-DOS

jaz@icd.ab.com (Jack A. Zucker) (10/10/90)

Where can I find GNU utilities such as Make, tar, ghostscript, etc., ported
to the IBM PC ? An archive server would be appreciated since we don't have
direct access to the net.

As I and some people wrote earlier, there are a few ftp sites which
have a rather interesting set of ported GNU products.  Hopefully, the
still missing parts will be added soon.

The collection of programs known as the GNUish MS-DOS project is
available for ftp at the following addresses:

	vulcan.phyast.pitt.edu [130.49.33.16], in pub/pc/gnudos.
	ocf.berkeley.edu [128.32.184.254], in pub/erc/gnuish-msdos.
	funic.funet.fi [128.214.6.100], in pub/msdos/gnudos.
	wsmr-simtel20.army.mil [26.2.0.74], in pd?:<msdos.gnudos>.

Thorsten Ohl <td12@ddagsi3.bitnet> made most of the ports, and
moderates the project.

For those of us who cannot ftp directly, will this directory be
available through the mailservers? The latest SIMIBM.IDX (dated 10-2-90)
does not show <msdos.gnudos> at all.

Unfortunately those files are located in <msdos2.gnuish> - NOT in
<msdos.gnudos>!

BTW, Roy, I've tried to send you some mail but it has bounced back,
although I've tried many different addresses - our mailer can't seem
to generate it right.
