Hi,

Does anyone know of an online source for the GNU utilities?

Try notesfile TURRIS::GNU, for locations of the various GNU utilities.
For Amiga-ized utilities, you might want to check the fish disks.  I know
there's an Amiga/GNUemacs, but don't know about GNUcc or any of the other
utilities.

Steve - KP7 should add the GNU conference (haven't done this with DECWindows)
4423.3GNU ETC..CSCOAC::KENDRIX_JThu Jan 10 1991 13:2417
    I haven't figured out how to copy stuff off of decwrl::...  
     
    $ dir decwrl::
       /gateway     /gateway.doc  [etc...]
     
    $ copy decwrl::/gateway.doc []
     
        dcl-w-nofil no files found
    
    $ copy decwrl::"/gateway.doc []
     
        [same result]
     
    What am I doing wrong??

Close!

$ copy decwrl::"/gateway.doc" gateway.doc


You must specify exact file names on the VMS side - no wildcards.

4423.5There's a place...FROCKY::BALZERChristian Balzer DTN:785-1029Mon Jan 14 1991 05:0112
Re: .gnu

I'm aware of a GNU Emacs port (note the missing Micro) which is at version 0.8.
There are also GCC ports for the Amiga, as far as I can figure it out one port
seems to be U.S. based, the other an German effort.
See the FTP directory on ab20.larc.nasa.gov.
And don't ask me how to do that, read dec.general or send email to 
DECWRL::FTPMAIL with the contents (not subject) HELP.

Cheers,

<CB>

I just connected to abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov and created a list of *everything* 
it has for the amiga.

look in WJG::AMIGA:ABCFD20_011491.LIST

In case you didn't realize it there is a list of everything on
abcfd20 in /FILES.Z.  I grab a new copy every few days as some
good stuff has been coming in to that node lately.

I understand this is updated nightly.

4423.9It really is ab20...FROCKY::BALZERChristian Balzer DTN:785-1029Tue Jan 15 1991 04:369
Re: last 3

And in case you folks think "ab20" was a typo, it ain't so. 
Tad Guy's machine changed name and the abcfd20 alias is bound to go away 
sometime...

Cheers,
