There are a couple of Silicon Graphics Indigo machines here at my lab on 
which we would like to set up cc/gcc.  I have a few questions:

(1) Is it true that cc or gcc is _free_ software, available by anonymous
    ftp from _somewhere_?

(2) If the answer to (1) is true, then where can I get the software?  How
    does one go about installing it?  (ie-  does the anonymous ftp site
    just offer the source code needing own compilation, or does the site
    offer executabe/tar-ed versions?)

(3) If the answer to (1) is false, then who can I call to buy the software?
    How much does it cost?

Thanks for any help.
