I regularly use Gnu 18.54 on unix systems and do have the source
distribution.  I would also like to use it on a VAX-780 running VMS 4.7
which I use pretty often, but the system manager is not interested in
installing and supporting it system-wide. I expect it would be
difficult for me to install it from the source without his help. Thus
I am looking for a set of executables that I could copy and run without
system-level privileges for installation, etc.

I need to know  1) if there is any reason I cannot do this
		2) what files I will need
		3) where I can get them, (preferably by FTP)
		4) installation instructions, if any, for a non-VMS type

My apologies if this is common knowledge.  Thanks in advance for your
help.
