GCC 2.1 for FAT based file systems. If you have HPFS with about 6 megs
free, you will want the HPFS version (HPFS version uses long file names).
Remember to leave space for your swap file!!!!!!!!!!!

Also the FAT version has simply had the filenames uniqued to 8.3 FAT
filenames on a UNIX system. This means that the header files contain
incorrect include statements. If you compile a program and get file
not found errors in the library include files, you must manually edit
them to match the uniqued 8.3 names. This is why if you have HPFS, you
want to use the HPFS version!!!!!!!!

GCC has a "bug" (not really a bug, its defined in ANSI): it will print
prompts after the input if you do not change the buffering mode on
stdin/stdout. (Its set on full buffering by default, which causes
the prompts to be held until program exits). Use setvbuf.

I have broken this file up into ~450K parts. You must unzip each part,
then run combine.cmd or run:

copy /b gccfat21.001+gccfat21.002+gccfat21.003+gccfat21.004+gccfat21.005+
gccfat21.006 gccfat21.zip

You must then use unzip -d to create all the directories. It is recommended
to unzip this in your root directory with unzip -d so that it is put in
a directory c:\gnu\...

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
