* The FSF supports itself from tape distribution fees and from donations.

* To get a list of available software, phone (617) 876-3296
and ask to be sent a GNU's Bulletin.  Or ask gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu.

* To get FSF software without ftp, you can order a tape, as 
described in the GNU's Bulletin.

* To use GCC on a COFF system, you can use it with the native assembler;
then GCC doesn't care what the object format is.  I don't know whether
GCC supports the assembler syntax of SCO Unix, but it can't be too hard
to implement.

Or you can use COFF encapsulation, and use all the GNU tools together.
But you may have to do some amount of work to get COFF encapsulation
going on any particular kind of system.
