I recently snagged a copy of this for friends who work at a place still infested with the scourge of VMS. A compressed tar file is available for anonymous ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu. The full pathname is /u2/emacs/vms-gcc.tar.Z. I know nothing about the contents or usability of this tar file. The compressed tar file is 693K. Also, I see the following on the order form in the back of the Gnu emacs manual: GNU C Compiler source and binary code, on 1600 bpi industry standard magnetic tape in VMS interchange format. $150 If you don't have ftp access to prep.ai.mit.edu then your best bet would probably be to find a friend near you who can ftp and give them a tape to write for you. If you could get a tape to me I might be able to do it for you. BTW, all of this tape talk is because I assume it is bad manners to mail something that large around. -- Scott Wilson arpa: swilson@sun.com Sun Microsystems uucp: ...!sun!swilson Mt. View, CA
