Hi -

  I'm trying to build gcc 2.3.1 on VAX/VMS from scratch. The gcc-2.3.1.tar.Z
file alludes to a "VMS kit" which is a backup saveset. I was unable to locate
such a kit on prep.

  I have acquired bison and gas. However, I am unable to build gas as it wants
to be built with gcc, and the gcc INSTALL document says I need a working gas
in order to build gcc. Further, the gcc INSTALL document claims that I may have
problems with gas 1.38.1 and implies I should have a newer one. However, 1.38.1
is the latest (only) one I could find on prep.

  So, my questions are:

1) Where can I obtain the VMS kit alluded to in the gcc INSTALL document?
2) Is there a newer gas than 1.38.1?
3) Where can I obtain a pre-built VMS version of gas?

	Thanks for your time,
