I have sucessfully obtained GCC 1.36 VMS images and source code and managed
to sucessfully compile GCC using itself.  However when I download the source
code for Bison 1.03 and try to build using GCC an error occurs at the LINK
stage.  I have read in the BUILD.COM file that the version that I am trying
to compile was tested using GCC 1.22 under VMS V4.5.

Is there a version of Bison been written for VAX/VMS V5.x?  If so could you
please tell me where I can access it.   I do however have to transfer files
via the TRICKLE server at EARN%FINTUVM.  As an aside is it correct that this
server does not have access to  your /u2 directory structure.

Thank you for your help in advance.
