I just ftp'ed GCC2-222 from ftp-hobbes last night.   I went in and tried to 
do a couple of things afterwards and ran into some problems.


(1)  I ftp'd the bsddev.zip and other .zip files, but I am unable to unzip 
them.  I get a message that says compression method 8..skipped or compressed 
method unknown.  I got that from both my os/2 (info-zip??) unzip and DOS 
PKunzip 1.10.  Is there another release of unzip that will unzip these 
files?  I had some files the other day I deleted, thinking they were 
corrupted, now I don't know.

(2)  I realize this is more than likely OLD news, but how do I read the 
documentation?  They are all in .texi format.

(3)  There are several files in the pub/os2/2.0/programming directory, a lot 
without information as to what they are.  I ftp'd some files that looked 
like they would be useful, as well as the important files from emx-08e.  I 
think I ftp'd the entire gcc2-222 directory as well (I think there was only 
a handful of files, all of which were related to gcc2-222).  I had, but 
never set up GCC 2.1 ( or was that 2.21?) and now am trying to set up 
gcc2-222.  Does anyone have a list of files that are required/or very 
helpful to have?   I have seen reference to gnudebugger and other files, but 
didn't get them.

(4)  I'm going to be spending today (Sunday) deleting things on my hard 
drive to make room for GCC and attempting to get it installed...
I know I'm going to probably need some help.  I was wondering if there was a 
FAQ, and how I might be able to get it via e-mail..( I hope to have usenet 
news again next week ).


Thanks in advance for any help/ideas anyone can give me...
Greg
