- of gcc and gdb and many others.
-

- to create one for you. This is the only support ISCF provides for
- /public.

- 4. If you have a Unix program that you want to share with the whole Unix
- community, you might want to think about becoming a public software
- custodian and placing your program on /public/bin. This effort will not
- work if people do not help. To become a public software custodian,
- contact Jeff Finger.
-
- 5. See file /public/bin/README.TXT for a description of the
- programs present. If you need a program that is not available for
- your system, contact the custodian listed in the file.
-
-
