Subject:	EZ-GCC distribution & FSDB091a available at Yaseppochi-gumi

Yaseppochi-gumi announces the availability of a fairly compact
distribution of DJGPP, the 0.91a version of FSDB, and some
miscellanea.  (Access instructions in signature.)

Description:

* Apparently the Morten Welinder version of the "Sally" Full Screen
Debugger was removed from SimTel when Long Doan's version was
uploaded.  Since these have nonoverlapping features, I have made
Morten's fsdb091a.zip (the most recent publically-released version I
am aware of) available.

* Anton Helm of TU-Wien has put together a distribution of the
essential binaries, includes, and libraries of DJGPP 1.12, and
packaged these with a public domain editor, ND-Make, and student-proof
installation batch files.  The main distribution fits on three 1.44MB
floppy disks, and two optional disks containing the Objective-C and
GDB programs.  These are found in directory .../packages as 5 ZIP
files labelled ez-gcc-[123ab].zip.  There is a readme and installation
instructions for the suite in ez-gcc.txt.

This distribution does *not* contain documentation or sources.  The
intention was to provide a *functional* compiler suite in a limited
amount of space.  You may differ with the opinion that a program
lacking documentation can be nonetheless functional.  Me, too!  Still,
the idea was minimum space.

The PostScript documents produced some time ago (and now out of date),
along with Eli Zaretskii's FAQ (the Dec 1994 beta version), are in
gccpsdoc.zip.  Full documentation, including the TeXInfo suite of
programs, is available in the subdirectory ez-gcc-DOC.  Sources are in
ez-gcc-SRC.

* The other packages to be found in .../packages are provided as
*examples* of compact packaging of TeX/LaTeX and GNU Emacs.  THE
BINARIES ARE FOR LINUX.  Probably most useful are the *.mft files,
which will give you an idea of the minimal configuration for these
packages.  However, it is presumably possible to substitute DOS
binaries for the Linux binaries, and therefore I made the full
distributions available.  THIS IS PROBABLY NOT A VERY SIMPLE
SUBSTITUTION; directory trees and other compiled-in parameters are
likely to vary substantially from Linux to DOS.  YOU WERE WARNED.

Thanks to Tony Helm for the EZ-GCC distribution, to Stephen Benson for
the pointers to the Linux "Tiny" packages, and to Charles Sandmann for
mentioning that there is a need for Morten Welinder's version of FSDB
by certain people.
