This directory contains the software tools needed to compile the
Pablo Performance Analysis Environment; most are particular versions
of the Free Software Foundation's GNU code.  Although these tools are
readily available via ftp from many sites on the Internet, we have
placed copies here for your convenience.  In addition, variations
in different tool releases can introduce (or fix) tool bugs.  These
variations, coupled with different tool configuration options, can
often make reproducing a development environment difficult.  It is
for these reasons that we are making available our configuration of
the GNU tools.

If you do not have the GNU `gzip' package, grab that file first.
You can use `uncompress' and `tar' to unpack it.  Compile and install
`gzip', you'll need it (or at least `gunzip') to unpack any of the
other tools.  The `.gz' file name suffix indicates a file compressed
with `gzip', as opposed to the `.Z' from `compress'.
