Hi, I am 'gnu' to this group, so would appreciate it if someone could answer
a few questions.

	- How do you obtain gnu software (ftp address, etc.)?
	- How much does it cost?
	- Are there any legal issues?

Specifically, could someone tell me how I can get G++ and Gcc for any of these
systems:

	- Sun3/SunOS
	- Sun4/SunOS
	- VAX/Ultrix
	- VAX/VMS

Thanks much.

Use anonymous FTP prep.ai.mit.edu (18.71.0.38).  The stuff you want is
in pub/gnu/.  If you don't have access to the IP Internet, use UUCP to
osu-cis.  Write me for instructions if needed.

   - How much does it cost?

If you use UUCP, it will cost you a phone call to Columbus, Ohio.
Other than that, the only cost is your time and trouble to install the
software from sources.

   - Are there any legal issues?

Briefly, anyone you give it to must be able to give it to anyone else
they want.  For more details, see the GNU General Public license,
included with most (if not all) GNU software.

   Specifically, could someone tell me how I can get G++ and Gcc for
   any of these systems:
	   - Sun3/SunOS
	   - Sun4/SunOS
	   - VAX/Ultrix

prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/gcc-1.34.tar.Z is GCC for everything.
prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/g++-1.34.2.tar.Z and libg++-1.34.0.tar.Z are
   the compiler and library, respectively.
prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/gdb-3.1.2.tar.Z is the GNU Debugger, and has
   hooks for G++.

	   - VAX/VMS

prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/gcc-vms.tar.Z is what you need to bootstrap
GCC on a VMS machine.  I don't know whether you can make G++ for VMS.
