      How about an anonymous ftp site?  $150 is freaking outrageous!!
      Surely someone has put them at an ftp site!
   This is the silliest letter I have ever seen on Usenet. How can anyone
   think $150 for a tape of all the gnu  software is outrageous? Talk
   about ingratitude! 

   the answer is prep.ai.mit.edu

   and the question wasn't even a bug

Excuse me.  Maybe I was a little rash.  The original sender asked
where he could get GNU software for the NeXT and someone responded by
telling him that he could get it for $150 from GNU(??).  I thought
that he should have replied with an anonymous ftp site also.  Now back
to the original question: GNU software for the NeXT.  What does it
take to get the GNU software to run on the Next?  Aren't there some
diffs that are necessary?  I tried compiling GAWK a while back, but it
core dumped when I tested it on a small program.  And is it possible
to get g++ running on the Next so that you can interface with any of
the system libraries?
