[gnu.gcc] VAX/VMS GNU C

MSD@ENH.NIST.GOV (12/13/89)

Dear Experts,

I'm interested in installing GNU C on our VAX/VMS 5.0 system, but I'm
a bit confused by the versions extant.  There is a gcc-vms.tar on
prep.ai.mit.edu which seems in content to be similar to Jonathan
Corbet's bootstrap.bck, and then there are Jonathan's gcc-n.bck files.
What do I loose if I only install bootstrap.bck or gcc-vms.tar (are
they the same thing)?  If I choose to compile gcc-n.bck, is the
installation relatively painless?

I'm sorry to bother you with what is undoubtedly a trivial question.
I do not subscribe to this list, so could you please send responses to
me directly.
