I got the latest snapshot from
ftp://egcs.cygnus.com/pub/egcs/snapshots/index.html

The content of the file
egcs-19980628/INSTALL/README 
is:

>This directory has been obsoleted for egcs snapshots and CVS access.

>Instead check out the toplevel "wwwdocs" as a sibling of your egcs

But I can't find "wwwdocs" nowhere! Where is it???

Best regards,

You're right, there is no file or directory "wwwdocs".
I suppose the INSTALL/README file should be corrected.

Nothing needs to be corrected, it's there:

$ hostname
egcs.cygnus.com
$ pwd
/egcs/carton/cvsfiles
$ ls -l

drwxrwsr-x   4 anoncvs  anoncvs      2048 Jul  5 22:25 CVSROOT

You can get it either via "cvs co wwwdocs" or by simply directing your 
WWW browser to < http://egcs.cygnus.com >.

Heheh, I am glad my ignorance showed that the README is a bit unclear
about the need to use cvs :).

Maybe because I am not native english, but I did read:

"Instead check out the toplevel "wwwdocs" as a sibling of your egcs"

as:

"Instead 'have a look at' the `in the root of your package' "wwwdocs"
 as a ??? of your egcs `distribution'"

where I put '?' at the place that I didn't understand.
Hmm, `sibling' is not even in my dictionary.

I propose to add: "with `cvs co wwwdocs'"

or something less ambigious :)

The wwwdocs directory is not part of the snapshot (maybe it should
be).

You can check it out via cvs the same way you checked out egcs though.
