Getting the gawk Distribution

There are three ways you can get GNU software.

  1. You can copy it from someone else who already has it.
  2. You can order gawk directly from the Free Software Foundation. Software distributions are available for Unix, MS-DOS, and VMS, on tape and CD-ROM. The address is:

    Free Software Foundation
    59 Temple Place--Suite 330
    Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
    Phone: +1-617-542-5942
    Fax (including Japan): +1-617-542-2652
    E-mail: gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu

    Ordering from the FSF directly contributes to the support of the foundation and to the production of more free software.
  3. You can get gawk by using anonymous ftp to the Internet host ftp.gnu.ai.mit.edu, in the directory `/pub/gnu'. Here is a list of alternate ftp sites from which you can obtain GNU software. When a site is listed as "site:directory" the directory indicates the directory where GNU software is kept. You should use a site that is geographically close to you.
