- It's called `gcc', by the good folks at the Free Software Foundation. You
- can get it, and tons of other stuff, by ftp from a lot of places
- (ftp.uu.net:/systems/gnu and prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu to name a couple, do
- a `dir gcc*', also take a look in ./GNUinfo). There are also a few `gnu'
- newsgroups (e.g. gnu.announce, gnu.gcc.announce) that can give you more
- information.
