I just picked up g++.tar-1.33.0.Z from yahi.stanford.edu.

README documents version 1.32.0.  (I think I complained before about
it referring to "dist-g++" when the tar file contains "src-g++"?  It
also refers to gdb+, which should be subsumed by gdb version 3.0 and
newer.)

g++.texinfo claims to document 1.21.0!

I would suggest making the tar file extract into a directory
containing the version number, e.g, {dist,src}-g++-1.33.0.  This makes
it easier for sites (like mine) that want to have two versions living
side-by-side while the new version is being built and tested.
