In case anyone else is interested:

GNU sed for VMS is available via e-mail from FILESERV@WKUVX1.BITNET. Send
the command SEND SED in the body of a mail message to FILESERV. The GNU
grep programs are also available from FILESERV; send SEND GREP on a
separate line. For a list of packages available from FILESERV, include the
command DIR ALL.

Both are also available from the vmsnet.sources archives (white.cerritos.edu,
for example).

GAWK (GNU awk) for VMS is available via anonymous ftp from hamlet.caltech.edu
and rml2.sri.com.
