I saw the following ad in March 1992's SunWorld magazine in the News section:


    "In a similar vein, PDQ 
     Software (Walnut Creek, CA)
     introduced a GNU CD contain-
     ing the source code to all of
     GNU's applications. This CD
     costs $40."



  Since I just purchased a NeXT and a CD-ROM drive I've been thinking both
of things to do with the CD-ROM and where to get all the cool GNU Utils that
I've grown so used to (greps, find, etc). This does seem to solve all of those
problems at once. However, they list no address, phone number, or email
address where this company can be contacted. Can anyone help?


thanks
