Getting GCC for VMS

     I have been looking to update our copy of GCC on our VMS machine from
the elderly 1.36 to the newer 1.39. I saw a pre-compiled version (what I'm
after) on prep.ai.mit.edu but unfortunately we lack tar on our system and
thus can't do much with it. So I checked out the GNUinfo/FTP file on that
system and it mentioned that I could get a pre-compiled version of GCC from
rdss.ucar.edu (128.117.80.1) that was in "backup" format.

     Well, I tried to FTP to 128.117.80.1 and it acted as if there was no
machine in existence with that address. I tried connecting to rdss.ucar.edu
but it claimed to connect me to some other machine at ucar, and this machine
didn't act like a VMS machine, and didn't have GCC.

     In any case, I sorta told my boss I would have this software RSN. So if
anyone can suggest another place to get it from or if anyone has it in backup
format and would be willing to mail it to me uuencoded, please reply to this
as soon as possible. Thanks heaps.
