I am trying to download gcc 2.1 from prep.ai.mit.edu. My access is through ftpmail. According to the "How to get GNU software by Internet FTP or by UUCP" document (/pub/gnu/FTP, last updated 20 Jan 92), it says that gcc is avaiable in /pub/gnu under the filename gcc.tar-M.N.Z where M.N is the release, in this case 2.1. I get an email message back saying that that filename doesn't exist. I get the same problems trying to request these files: Template version wanted filename used ------------------------------------------------------ gas-M.N.tar.Z 1.38.1 gas-1.38.1.tar.Z gdbm-M.N.tar.Z 1.5 gdbm-1.5.tar.Z dld-M.N.tar.Z 3.2.3 dld-3.2.3.tar.Z The guide doesn't explain how to build the filename if there are more than two components to the release ID. Since I don't have access to a real internet node, I can't use true anonymous ftp to connect to the system with the files I want to get the filenames correct. I'm getting more info on using "archie", but is this going to provide me with archive listings of incorrect filenames, just like in the /pub/gnu/FTP document? - Nels Olsen -- calyx.corp@mixcom.com
