Any GNU experts out there?  It'd be nice to have a list of pathnames
for atari.archive and dsrgsun which point to various GNU software -
The aim being to get complete working packages of the latest 'bestest'
software.  Like for Emacs, GCC, G++, Scheme?, etc...

I don't know about anyone else but it's quite confusing to see
multiple versions with multiple (and often incompatible) libraries,
etc.  Perhaps a system could be devised to facilitate the process of
distribution?  packages like TeX, GNU software, and others would
benefit.  There are other releases of software that don't suffer from
this, likely planned I would think!

Cheers,

Joe
