That's easy, use Yahoo and search for GNU.  Or go to ftp.cdrom.com and
browse for the SIMTEL DOS archive I think it is.  You want the DJGPP
section which includes a whole batch of GNU tools.  Also check in same
archive for GNUISH directory which contains another set of GNU tool
implementations.  They haven't always worked reliably under DOS or DOS
under Windows, but everything seems to be getting better.  The new V2
djgpp tools seem very nice: they have new and better support for
extended memory for instance.

    Phil> if so where do I get hold of them?
