This is two questions actually.

1) I wrote code to do some pattern matching in protein sequences using
GAWK on UNIX machines. I am distributing this code and some
Biochemistry/Molecular Biology labs have it running on their unix or
dos machines. The problem is that most of the computing done in these
fields is bound to VMS machines. Is their a port of Gawk to VMS?  If
there was a lot of people in these fields would possible get on the
Gnu wagon. As a sideline, is FSF interested in such specialty code
as this? If so, I could add the GPL to the stuff.

2) I see the RCS is now under the GPL. I have ported RCS to DOS, and
it works very well. But, I have a question about the rights of MKS
(Mortice Kern Systems) who arranged with W. Titchy to port RCS to DOS
and sell it (for $259 or there abouts). I would like to post the code
to the PC binaries group along with binaries. This may be looked badly
upon by the MKS lawyers. What is the status of the RCS code. Is it
truely unencumbered by prior arrangements of the authors?

Thanks for any feed back.
