Well, this has been an odd evening.

I started to compile g++ tonight because someone on our system wanted
it.  So as I am configuring it I note that I don't have gcc yet and
also that bison is wanted by g++.  I ftp over to prep and get both.
Turns out that bison-1.01.tar.Z won't uncompress because of corrupted
input.  Yes, I set binary.  Yes, I tried again, making doubly sure I
set binary.

Oh well, figure I, making gcc should be pretty straightforward.  Son
of a gun, gcc wants to use bison too.   tut is pretty current with
prep, I remember, so I went to pub/gnu/bison on tut and got that tar
file.  GNU grepping through the sources for version showed me nothing
about 1.01 (or any number) and the README mentions that the latest
ChangeLog entry is how version control is dealt with, but there is no
ChangeLog in that distribution. 

Can someone please tell me what is wrong with the prep bison and how
much I should worry about the fact that I am building the latest gcc
and g++ on top of the apparently older bison from tut?
