There are three ways to get GNU software:
ftp.gnu.org
, in the directory /gnu/gawk.
Both anonymous ftp and http
access are supported.
If you have the wget program, you can use a command like
the following:
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gawk/gawk-4.0.1.tar.gz
The GNU software archive is mirrored around the world. The up-to-date list of mirror sites is available from the main FSF web site. Try to use one of the mirrors; they will be less busy, and you can usually find one closer to your site.
