-
- There is a copy of gawk/awk in the MCC interim version of Linux. The
- unlinked '.a' file is in mcc-interim/0.96c/files.a/f-gl.a.tar.Z. The
- sources are in GNU's gawk-2.13.2.tar.Z in mcc-interim/0.96c/source_links,
- and the patches I applied are in mcc-interim/0.96c/patches/gawk213.ud.Z.
-
- I have tried to be certain that all sources for anything included in the
- MCC interim releases of Linux are available. You can use anonymous ftp
- to get them from ftp.mcc.ac.uk, or from any of the mirroring sites;
- the mirroring sites will not necessarily have the GNU source files,
- since everything in the source_links directories is a symbolic link.
