4 * Please send improvements to this file to gnu@gnu.org.
|
|
5
|
|
6 * No Warranties
|
|
7
|
|
8 We distribute software in the hope that it will be useful, but without
|
|
9 any warranty. No author or distributor of this software accepts
|
|
10 responsibility to anyone for the consequences of using it or for
|
|
11 whether it serves any particular purpose or works at all, unless he
|
43936
|
12 says so in writing. This is exactly the same warranty that the proprietary
|
|
13 software companies offer: None. If the distribution is incomplete or the
|
33648
|
14 media fails, you can always download a replacement from any of the GNU
|
|
15 mirrors, free of charge.

|

|
|
22 * How to FTP
|
|
23
|
|
24 Use the ftp program on your system (ask locally if you can't find it)
|
|
25 to connect to the host you are ftping from. Unless indicated
|
|
26 otherwise, login in as user "anonymous", with password: "your e-mail
|
|
27 address" and set "binary" mode (to transfer all eight bits in each
|
|
28 byte).
|
|
29
|
|
30 ALWAYS USE BINARY/IMAGE MODE TO TRANSFER THESE FILES!
|
|
31 Text mode does not work for tar files or compressed files.
|
|
32
|
|
33 * GNU Software and How To FTP It
|
|
34
|
|
35 GNU software is available on ftp.gnu.org under the directory /gnu.
|
|
36 diff files to convert between versions exist for some of these
|
|
37 programs. Some programs have misc support files as well. Have a look
|
|
38 on ftp.gnu.org to see which ones. In most cases, the tar or diff
|
|
39 files are compressed with the `gzip' program; this is indicated with
|
43936
|
40 the .gz suffix. Binaries for gzip can be downloaded from
|
|
41 http://www.gzip.org.
|
33648
|
42
|
|
43 Descriptions of GNU software are available at
|
|
44 http://www.gnu.org/software/software.html
|
49600
|
45 and in the Free Software Directory at
|
43936
|
46 http://www.gnu.org/directory/index.html
|
33648
|
47
|
|
48 * Alternative Internet FTP Sources
|
|
49
|
|
50 The canonical GNU ftp site is located at ftp.gnu.org/gnu.
|
|
51 You should probably use one of the many mirrors of that site - the
|
|
52 mirrors will be less busy, and you can find one closer to your site.

182 * How to FTP GNU Emacs
|
|
183
|
|
184 Emacs is in the directory /gnu/emacs on ftp.gnu.org. The emacs
|
|
185 distribution itself has a filename in the form emacs-M.N.tar.gz, where
|
43936
|
186 M and N stand for the version numbers; the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual
|
|
187 is in a separate file, named elisp-manual-NN.tar.gz.
|
33648
|
188
|
|
189 * Scheme and How to FTP It
|
|
190
|
|
191 The latest distribution version of C Scheme is available via anonymous FTP
|
|
192 from swiss-ftp.ai.mit.edu in /pub/scheme-X.X/ (where X.X is some version
|
|
193 number).
|
|
194
|
|
195 Read the files INSTALL and README in the top level C Scheme directory.
|
|
196
|
|
197 * TeX and How to Obtain It
|
|
198
|
|
199 We don't distribute TeX now, but it is free software.
|
|
200
|
|
201 TeX is a document formatter that is used, among other things, by the FSF
|
|
202 for all its documentation. You will need it if you want to make printed
|
|
203 manuals.
|
|
204
|
|
205 TeX is freely redistributable. You can get it by ftp, tape, or CD/ROM.
|
|
206
|
|
207 ** For FTP instructions, retrieve the file
|
|
208 ftp.cs.umb.edu/pub/tex/unixtex.ftp. (We don't include it here because it
|
|
209 changes relatively frequently. Sorry.)
|
|
210
|
|
211 ** A minimal TeX collection (enough to process Texinfo files, anyway)
|
|
212 is included on the GNU source CD-ROM. See the file ORDERS in this
|
|
213 directory for more information.
|
|
214
|
43936
|
215 * GNU Software for VMS
|
33648
|
216
|
43936
|
217 - ftp.vms.stacken.kth.se/MIRRORS/GNU-VMS/- lots of GNU ports to VMS,
|
|
218 including Emacs 19, GCC, Bison, Make, RCS.
|
33648
|
219
|
|
220 * If You Like The Software
|
|
221
|
|
222 If you like the software developed and distributed by the Free
|
|
223 Software Foundation, please express your satisfaction with a donation.
|
|
224 Your donations will help to support the Foundation and make our future
|
43936
|
225 efforts successful. The Foundation continues to improve GNU programs
|
|
226 and encourage the writing of new free software to enhance GNU/Linux
|
|
227 and GNU/Hurd systems. For more information on GNU and the Foundation,
|
|
228 see our web site at http://www.gnu.org.

|
229
|
|
230 Ordering a GNU Source Code CD-ROM or Source Code CD-ROM Subscription
|
43936
|
231 is a good way for your organization to help support our work. You can
|
|
232 also purchase printed manuals, reference cards, t-shirts, and other
|
|
233 items. See our online ordering form at http://order.fsf.org for
|
|
234 details.
