get version 2.4, this fixes problems with SCO-curses.

binutils-2*:
: Q: Is the linker and the ranlib within this group?   
yes, if you don't use gnu-ld you won't need ranlib. gnu-ld uses much
more memory that SCO's. I'm unable to link gcc with gnu-ld with 8MB
ram, no X, no other users or unavoidable processes and 64MB swap space.
On the other hand gnu-ld has more features and there're no problems
with smaller programs.

flex/bison:
: Q: Is flex better than bison?
No, use flex to scan tokens from a character stream (e.g. identifier,
integers, ...), use bison to parse recursive structures, such as expressions.
flex/bison are the GNU versions of lex/yacc. The usuall application of flex
and bison is to read characters, combine them to tokens using flex, parse
the token stream with bison/yacc to create a parse tree.

:  Q:Once gcc2.2.2 is materially functional, then move to gas-2.1
:    and gcc2.5?
I myself didn't see any visible changes since gcc-2.3*, run quite
stable for my applications. Use gas-2.*

:  Q: If gdb is similar to dbx?
It has more features, but no X interface (at least not in the distributed
version). 


: -rw-rw-r--  1 root        38137 Mar 15  1991 gdbm-1.5.tar.gz
this is a (n)dbm(3) style library

: In return will post where to get and how to set up for SCO 3.2.2.
: Thanks.
setup: no problem, at least not with Version 3.2.4. The only problem i had
and still have is compiling glibc-1.06. I just sit and wait until the
next version gets released :)

Best Regards,
