Re getting djgpp or any other software: PLEASE!!!! is there a simtel echo site
anywhere in Europe!?!? oak.oakland.edu is a very long way from England through
busy net links and relayers, and trying to FTP software online from there to
England is getting impossible, even when it is early morning here in England
and the small hours of the night in America! The last time I got djgpp from
oak.oakland.edu, I had to come in to work at an ungodly hour of Sunday early
morning (thank @#$ I've got an after hours entry card!) to log in for FTP and
start the bulk file transfer, and even then it was midafternoon here before
all of djgpp was `harvest home' and safely in my PC's C:\GCCZIP\.
