For gcc credit, please contact gnu AT prep DOT ai DOT mit DOT edu and ask them what
they recommend. As for other net-found software, if the author
doesn't have a suggestion, neither do I. Mentioning an FTP site is
usually NOT a good idea, because of legal contracts the Internet and
sites have concerning commercial use. Mentioning the author's e-mail
address without permission is also not a good idea. Mailing lists can
probably be listed.
For djgpp, you can just say "DOS version built using djgpp; subscribe
to the djgpp mailing list for more information" (or "see file ... for
info") and give either information on joining the djgpp mailing list
or give your e-mail address.
