I have compressed /u2/emacs/gcc.tar to create gcc.tar.Z.  I also split
that down into 100K chunks, named gcc.tar.Z.1 through gcc.tar.Z.11.  If
you rcp or ftp it, please get the split files instead of the original,
since (1) they are less than half the data, and (2) if the Arpanet goes
belly-up midway, you won't have to start from scratch.

In general when snarfing some large thing on prep (or elsewhere), look
for a .Z file; and if one doesn't exist and you have a prep account,
create one.  It will be faster than transferring the uncompressed
file.  It'd be nice if the person creating the distribution would also
create the compressed file, so it wouldn't take another message to the
mailing list to announce it...

I am ftp-ing the split gcc files to the ftp pub directory on
ingres.berkeley.edu, for all you west coast GNU fans.  They will also
be available from hoptoad's /usr/spool/uucppublic, if you have a link
to hoptoad.
