   Anyone with a NeXT should be able to get the sources of the compiler,
   according to the GNU copyleft.

I have them.  Where were you? :-)  Even people without a NeXT should be
able to get them, according to the copyleft.  But, NeXT has been taking
a sort of low-visibility approach - they made them availiable on OD media
last spring for $125.  That still works, right?  Anyhow, someone picked
that up, tarred and compressed, and put it on their archive.  I don't
remember which archive (I got it last spring), but could find out . . .
