Where is GNU C for openVMS/Alpha ?

It should be availabe at the time you read this, but it didn't make it
to the freeware CD.

GNU C for openVMS/Alpha was ported by Klaus Kämpf (kkaempf@progis.de)
of proGIS Software, Aachen, Germany.

However, the patches to the GNU C source distribution had to pass
several conformance and portability tests, which weren't finished
in time. Without these tests, proGIS Software decided not to publish
the source.

Since the GNU public license requires to make source available to
every binary distribution of any program under this license, providing
gnu c binaries on CD would be a violation of the license.
