See prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/gcl or ftp.cli.com:/pub/gcl for more. Gcl-1.0 is out since May 1994. BTW: Akcl was distributable just like any other free software even before GNU has taken it over. Since 1.619, akcl is freed of the cumbersome change mechanism, that relayed on the original kcl. But even before that, I've got an agreement with the authors of kcl to distribute kcl sources and binaries along with akcl in a package for 386bsd (it was 1.609 those days). -Gunther -- Gunther Schadow_________________________Hopfenweg 19, Berlin 12357, FR.
