I have GCC (the latest version as of early June that was on prep.ai.mit.edu).
And nobody in their right mind will mail you a copy of GCC, why?  It's almost
3 Mb long (compressed tape archive).  It is LONG!  I don't even have the hard
drive space on my ST225 to uncompress it!  I have it split into about 8 .tar.Z
files on 720K disks...and it's going to stay on those disks until I get a 42
Mb 1/2-height hard drive and an ARLL controller.  If you want GCC, ftp to
prep.ai.mit.edu and cd to pub/gnu and it'll be sitting right there waiting for
anybody to take it.  Warning, it will not run on anything less than a 386 in
386 mode (real 386 mode with a 32-bit address space).  You're also going to
need GAS (GNU AS assembler) for it, that's only a poultry 500K compressed.
