Does anyone out there in netland know where I can get the GNU stuff
(including g++) for an Apollo M68020/30 workstation? I look after a network
of these, viz: a DN4000 running BSD UNIX (apollo version 10), and three
DN3500`s running Aegis-pretending-to-be-BSD (apollo version 9.7). Our plan
is to move to version 10 and run proper BSD on all of them soon.

I see from existing news postings that there is a version for a 386 Apollo,
supporting COFF format, but this puts me only a little closer.

Ideally, I would like the necessary headers etc to compile up gcc, g++ etc
under version 10 to produce M68020 and M68030 code in COFF (or even working
binaries?) . Version 9.7 stuff would do to get started though.

I have not tracked down an Apollo GNU implementation in the UK, and anyway,
version 10 and proper UNIX support is all a bit new here for this to have
happened, so I suspect that I am depending upon you nice people in the USA.
I don`t think that Apollo UK have GNU, for instance, although someone there
is intending to put it up (but busy just now). I will happily act as a
feeder for other UK Apollo sites, if I am the first, of course.

Can anybody help?
