Recently, I ran across an ad in the back of Dr. Dobb's (Aug 90, p187) labeled `C Source Code'. The "company", named Networks, in New Haven, NY, offers what seems to be GNU source code distributions for a fee. For instance, the ad reads "gnu c++...........$150.00" and "gnu gas.............$45". Is this reasonable for a company to perform? It doesn't sound good to me. After all, you can order gcc, g++, gas, etc. from the FSF for ~$150. -- Kingsley Kerce USnail: Dept. of Computer Sci.
