[comp.sys.3b1] Gcc at OSU??

n138ct@tamuts.tamu.edu (Brent Burton) (05/07/91)

Okay, at the OSU archives:

  pub/att7300/gnu/g++IN.Z  505513 bytes
  pub/ "         /g++lib+IN.Z 367701 bytes

but over in the /languages/ neighborhood there is:

  """/languages/g++-bin.tar.Z  465981 bytes

According to the old README files, the gcc binary archive is 353901 bytes.

What gives?  Which is correct?

Does g++, with basic C code, generate the same binary size as gcc?  I'd like
to get gcc and g++, but I'd like to avoid duplication.

thanks,

Lenny copied gcc and g++ from csvax.cs.caltech.edu to OSU, but gcc
seems to have got lost along the way.  Since these files originated on
csvax, I just copied gcc-gas.tar.Z to the languages directory.  (I
wasn't sure I'd be able to, and I hope I haven't stood on any toes by
doing so.)  I also updated the README files.
