I am hesitant to respond, since I am by no means a GCG guru. We no longer
run gcg on our SS-20 but when we did I used the get_gbnew script provided
by GCG to download and convert daily updates. It requires minimal
modifications to
run under SunOS 5.3. I've heard that it may not work as well under
different Unix flavors, but you might want to give it a try and if it
fails you could give GCG a call. They can probably help you.
