It can be reached using an ftp client at dimcom.uqac.uquebec.ca login as anonymous. It can also be reach using an internet browser at http://wwwdim.uqac.uquebec.ca/ftp/ Unfortunately, due to firewall and browser conflict (in ftp mode), you cannot reach it at ftp://dimcom.uqac.uquebec.ca/pub/gnuwin32. Our firewall will be ajusted in january. The goal is not to be a mirror of the official gnu-win32 site at Cygnus, but to complement it by providing user compiled binaries (and patches). New files should be put in /incoming, I will dispatch them, be sure the name of the file is explicit and be sure to add all the necessary information in a README file. The content of /pub/gnuwin32 is (20/12/96): gnuwin32/bin: all_b17.tgz - gnu-win32 binaries version beta 17 bashrc.txt - a simple example of bash configuration file gnuwin32/patches: wxport.txt - annonce for the Wxwindows patch (Garry Boyce) wxport.zip - the Wxwindows patch (Garry Boyce) *** *** email adress: *** web page: *** anonymous ftp: *** or ftp dimcom.uqac.uquebec.ca login as anonymous - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
