will continue to contribute corporate funds to the FSF to accompany gifts by
its employees, and by its customers and their employees.

Donations payable to the Free Software Foundation should be sent by eligible
persons to Cygnus Solutions, which will add its gifts and forward the total
to the FSF each quarter.  The FSF will provide the contributor with a receipt
to recognize the contribution (which is tax-deductible on U.S.  tax returns).
To see if your employer is a Cygnus customer, or for more information,
please contact Cygnus:

Free Software Redistributors Donate
***********************************

The French redistributor PACT has agreed to donate $1.00 for each GNU/Linux
CD that they sell.

Red Hat Software has agreed to donate $1.00 to the FSF for every copy of Red
Hat Archives sold.  They have also added a GNU logo to the back of that CD
with the words "Supports the Free Software Foundation".

The SNOW 2.1 CD producers added the words "Includes $5 donation to the FSF"
to the front of their CD.  Potential buyers will know just how much of the
price is for the FSF & how much is for the redistributor.

The Sun Users Group Deutschland has made it even clearer: their CD says,
"Price 90 DM, + 12 DM donation to the FSF." We thank them for their
contribution to our efforts.

Kyoto Micro Computer of Japan regularly gives us 10% of their GNU-related
sales.

Mr. Hiroshi, Mr. Kojima, and the other authors of the `Linux Primer' in Japan
have donated money from the sales of their book.

Infomagic has continued to make sizable donations to the FSF.

At the request of author Arnold Robbins, Specialized Systems Consultants, Inc.
continues to donate 3% of their profits from selling `Effective AWK
Programming'.  We would also like to acknowledge the many SSC authors who
have donated their royalties and fees to the FSF.

In the long run, the success of free software depends on how much new free
software people develop.  Free software distribution offers an opportunity to
raise funds for such development in an ethical way.  These redistributors
have made use of the opportunity.  Many others let it go to waste.

You can help promote free software development by convincing for-a-fee
redistributors to contribute--either by doing development themselves or by
donating to development organizations (the FSF and others).

The way to convince distributors to contribute is to demand and expect this
of them.  This means choosing among distributors partly by how much they give
to free software development.  Then you can show distributors they must
compete to be the one who gives the most.

To make this work, you must insist on numbers that you can compare, such as,
"We will give ten dollars to the Foobar project for each disk sold." A vague
commitment, such as "A portion of the profits is donated," doesn't give you a
basis for comparison.  Even a precise fraction "of the profits from this
disk" is not very meaningful, since creative accounting and unrelated
business decisions can greatly alter what fraction of the sales price counts
as profit.

Also, press developers for firm information about what kind of development
they do or support.  Some kinds make much more long-term difference than
others.  For example, maintaining a separate version of a GNU program
contributes very little; maintaining a program on behalf of the GNU Project
contributes much.  Easy new ports contribute little, since someone else would
surely do them; difficult ports such as adding a new CPU to the GNU compiler
or Mach contribute more; major new features & programs contribute the most.

By establishing the idea that supporting further development is "the proper
thing to do" when distributing free software for a fee, we can assure a
steady flow of resources for making more free software.

 

Help from Free Software Companies
*********************************

When choosing a free software business, ask those you are considering how
much they do to assist free software development, e.g., by contributing money
to free software development or by writing free software improvements
themselves for general use.  By basing your decision partially on this
factor, you can help encourage those who profit from free software to
contribute to its growth.

Wingnut (SRA's special GNU support group) supports the FSF by purchasing
Deluxe Distribution packages on a regular basis.  In this way they transfer
10% of their income to the FSF.  Listing them here is our way of thanking
them.

Major Changes in GNU Software and Documentation
***********************************************

   * Hurd Progress   (Also *note What Is the Hurd::.)

     We have made three test releases of the Hurd, the most recent being 0.2.
     The Hurd is currently much more reliable than previously, and various
     utilities and file system translators, such as an FTP file system, have
     been written that take advantage of the Hurd's unique design.

     One way for people to help out is to compile and run as much third-party
     free software as they can; in this way we can find bugs and deficiencies
     with some rapidity.  Volunteers with a PC are therefore eagerly sought to
     get the 0.2 release and compile their favorite Unix programs and games.

     Daily snapshots of the Hurd sources are now available for those that
     want to see the latest (non-stable) version; see the Hurd page on the
     FSF Web site, `http://www.gnu.ai.mit.edu', for more information.

   * New Source Code CD!   (*note July 1997 Source Code CD-ROMs::.)

     We are releasing the July 1997 (Edition 10) Source Code CD-ROM this
     month.  Once again, it is a two disk set.  It includes several new
     packages: `aegis', `cook', `guavac', `lesstif', `prcs', `rsync', `swarm',
     & `vera'.  On the CD-ROMs are full distributions of X11R6.3,,
     Emacs, GCC, and current versions of all other GNU Software.  *Note GNU
     Software::, for more about these packages.

   * New/Updated Manuals since Last Bulletin   (*note Documentation::.)

     Since the last bulletin, we have published several updated editions of
     our manuals (note the price changes): `GNU Emacs Manual', revised for
     GNU Emacs version 20, now $30; & `Texinfo Manual', for version 3.11 of
     Texinfo, now $25.  We hope to have the following available very soon:
     `GNU Tar manual', first time in print, freshly reorganized and
     rewritten, $20; `GNU Software for MS-Windows and MS-DOS', a book and
     CD-ROM set with a variety of GNU software compiled for MS-DOS and
     Windows 3.1/95/97/NT, $35 ($140 for corporate orders).  Watch our Web
     site, `http://www.gnu.ai.mit.edu', for announcements of these
     publications.

   * Fonts freed

     A free commercial-quality set of the basic 35 Postscript Type 1 fonts is
     now finally available.  The copyright holder of these fonts, URW++
     Design and Development Incorporated, has decided to release them under
     the GPL.  Each font includes `.pfb' (outlines), `.afm' (metrics), and
     `.pfm' (Windows printer metrics) files.  The fonts are compatible with
     Adobe Type Manager and with general Type 1 manipulation tools, as well
     as with Ghostscript and other Postscript language interpreters.

     The fonts are available in `ghostscript-fonts-4.0.tar.gz' on the usual
     FTP sites.

   * DDD now works with LessTif   (Also *note GNU Software::.) Release 2.1.1
     of DDD, the Data Display Debugger, now works with LessTif, a free Motif
     clone.

   * Give to GNU the United Way!

     As a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization, the FSF is eligible to receive
     United Way funds.  When donating to United Way, one can specify that all
     or part of the donation be directed to the FSF.  On the donor form,
     check the "Specific Requests" box and include the sentence, "Send my
     gift to the Free Software Foundation, 59 Temple Place, Suite 330,
     Boston, MA 02111." We especially appreciate the donations from Microsoft
     matching the United Way donations of their employees.  Also see *Note
     Donations Translate Into Free Software::, and *Note Cygnus Matches
     Donations!::.

   * Tapes and MS-DOS Diskettes No Longer Available from the FSF

     We no longer offer tapes or MS-DOS diskettes due to very low demand.

   * GNU Software Works on MS-DOS   (Also *note GNU Software::.)

     GNU Emacs 19 and many other GNU programs have been ported to MS-DOS for
     i386/i486/Pentium machines.  We ship binaries & sources on the *Note
     Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM::.

   * The FSF Takes Discover

     The Free Software Foundation now accepts the Discover card for orders or
     donations.  We also accept the following: Carte Blanche, Diner's Club,
     JCB, MasterCard, Visa, and American Express.  Note that we are charged
     about 5% of an order's total amount in credit card processing fees;
     please consider paying by check instead or adding on a 5% donation to
     make up the difference.  We do *not* recommend that you send credit card
     numbers to us via email, since we have no way of insuring that the
     information will remain confidential.

   * MULE Merge Complete

     MULE is the Multi-Lingual Emacs developed by Ken'ichi Handa at the
     Electrotechnical Lab in Tsukuba, Japan.  This code has been merged into
     Emacs and is included in Emacs 20.

   * GPC, the GNU Pascal Compiler

     The GNU Pascal Compiler (GPC) is part of the GNU compiler family, GNU CC
     or GCC.  It combines a Pascal front end with the proven GNU compiler
     backend for code generation and optimization.  Unlike utilities such as
     p2c, this is a true compiler, not just a converter.

     Version 2.0 of GPC corresponds to GCC version 2.7.2.1.

     The purpose of the GNU Pascal project is to produce a compiler which:
        * combines the clarity of Pascal with powerful tools suitable for
          real-life programming,

        * supports both the Pascal standard and the Extended Pascal standard
          as defined by ISO, ANSI and IEEE.  (ISO 7185:1990, ISO/IEC
          10206:1991, ANSI/IEEE 770X3.160-1989)

        * supports other Pascal standards (UCSD Pascal, Borland Pascal,
          Pascal-SC) in so far as this serves the goal of clarity and
          usability,

        * can generate code for and run on any computer for which the GNU C
          Compiler can generate code and run on.

     The current release (2.0) implements Standard Pascal (ISO 7185, level 0)
     and a large subset of Extended Pascal (ISO 10206) and Borland Pascal.

     The upcoming release 2.1 features better conformance to the various
     Pascal standards, and of course bug fixes.

     A growing group of GPC enthusiasts contributes to the project with code,
     bug reports or fixes.

     `http://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/~gnu-pascal/', also known as
     `http://home.pages.de/~gnu-pascal/', is the GNU Pascal home page;
     sources may be downloaded from `ftp://kampi.hut.fi/jtv/gnu-pascal/'
     (official) or `ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/pub/gnu-pascal/'
     (development versions).

   * GUILE

     GUILE 1.2 is released.  GNU's Ubiquitous Intelligent Language for
     Extension is an SCM-based library that can make any ordinary C program
     extensible.  (For SCM info, see "JACAL" in *Note GNU Software::.)
     Nightly snapshots of the development sources are also available, in
     `ftp://ftp.red-bean.com/pub/guile/guile-core-snap.tar.gz'.

     Also being developed are SCSH-compatible system call & Tk interfaces, a
     module system, dynamic linking support, & a byte-code interpreter.
     Support for Emacs Lisp & a more C-like language is coming.

   * A New FSF T-shirt!

     We have a new T-shirt design.  *Note FSF T-shirt::, for the description.

   * New free game

     In August 1995, the action game Abuse by Jonathan Clark was released for
     the first time.  It wasn't free software then--but now, less than two
     years later, the company Crack dot Com has rereleased it as free
     software.  Abuse was initially developed on Linux-based GNU systems, and
     we've included it on our our source CD set.

     Beyond providing the free software community with a game that many
     people enjoy, and code that could be useful for developing other free
     games, this demonstrates an important fact about the economic
     circumstances of computer game development: most non-free games bring
     their profit in a very short period of time.  Therefore, a game company
     can turn a game into free software fairly soon, with little hardship.

     Let's hope that other game developers follow this example.



The Deluxe Distribution
***********************

The Free Software Foundation has been asked repeatedly to create a package
that provides executables for all of our software.  Normally we offer only
sources.  The Deluxe Distribution provides binaries with the source code and
includes six T-shirts, all our CD-ROMs, printed manuals, & reference cards.

The FSF Deluxe Distribution contains the binaries and sources to hundreds of
different programs including Emacs, the GNU C/C++ Compiler, the GNU Debugger,
the complete X Window System, and all the GNU utilities.

We will make a Deluxe Distribution for most machines/operating systems.  We
may be able to send someone to your office to do the compilation, if we can't
find a suitable machine here.  However, we can only compile the programs that
already support your chosen machine/system - porting is a separate matter.
(To commission a port, see the GNU Service Directory; details in *Note Free
Software Support::.) Compiling all these programs takes time; a Deluxe
Distribution for an unusual machine will take longer to produce than one for
a common machine.  Please contact the FSF Office with any questions.

We supply the software on a write-once CD-ROM (in ISO 9660 format with "Rock
Ridge" extensions), or on one of these tapes in Unix `tar' format: 1600 or
6250bpi 1/2in reel, Sun DC300XLP 1/4in cartridge - QIC24, IBM RS/6000 1/4in
c.t. - QIC 150, Exabyte 8mm c.t., or DAT 4mm c.t.  If your computer cannot
read any of these, please contact us to see if we can handle your format.

The manuals included are one each of `Bison', `Calc', `GAWK', `GCC', `GNU C
Library', `GDB', `Flex', `GNU Emacs Lisp Reference', `Programming in Emacs
Lisp: An Introduction', `Make', `Texinfo', & `Termcap' manuals; six copies of
the `GNU Emacs' manual; and ten reference cards each for Emacs, Bison, Calc,
Flex, & GDB.

Every Deluxe Distribution also has a copy of the latest editions of our
CD-ROMs that have sources of our software & compiler tool binaries for some
systems.  The CDs are in ISO 9660 format with Rock Ridge extensions.

The price of the Deluxe Distribution is $5000 (shipping included).  These
sales provide enormous financial assistance to help the FSF develop more free
software.  To order, please fill out the "Deluxe Distribution" section on the
*note Free Software Foundation Order Form::.  and send it to:

GNU Documentation
*****************

GNU is dedicated to having quality, easy-to-use online & printed
documentation.  GNU manuals are intended to explain underlying concepts,
describe how to use all the features of each program, & give examples of
command use.  GNU manuals are distributed as Texinfo source files, which
yield both typeset hardcopy via the TeX document formatting system and online
hypertext display via the menu-driven Info system.  Source for these manuals
comes with our software; here are the manuals that we publish as printed
books.  *Note Free Software Foundation Order Form::, to order them.

Most GNU manuals are bound as soft cover books with "lay-flat" bindings.
This allows you to open them so they lie flat on a table without creasing the
binding.  They have an inner cloth spine and an outer cardboard cover that
will not break or crease as an ordinary paperback will.  Currently, the
`Using and Porting GNU CC', `GDB', `Emacs', `Emacs Lisp Reference',
`Programming in Emacs Lisp: An Introduction', `GNU Awk User's Guide', `Make',
& `Bison' manuals have this binding.  Our other manuals also lie flat when
opened, using a GBC binding.  Our manuals are 7in by 9.25in except the 8.5in
by 11in `Calc' manual.

The edition number of the manual and version number of the program listed
after each manual's name were current at the time this Bulletin was published.

`Debugging with GDB' (for Version 4.16) tells how to run your program under
GNU Debugger control, examine and alter data, modify a program's flow of
control, and use GDB through GNU Emacs.

The `GNU Emacs Manual' (13th Edition for Version 20) describes editing with
GNU Emacs.  It explains advanced features, including international character
sets; outline mode and regular expression search; how to use special
programming modes to write languages like C++ and TeX; how to use the `tags'
utility; how to compile and correct code; how to make your own keybindings;
and other elementary customizations.

`Programming in Emacs Lisp: An Introduction' (October 1995 Edition 1.04) is
for people who are not necessarily interested in programming, but who do want
to customize or extend their computing environment.  If you read it in Emacs
under Info mode, you can run the sample programs directly.

`The GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual' (Edition 2.4 for Version 19.29) and
`The GNU Emacs Lisp Reference, Japanese Edition' (Japanese Draft Revision
1.0, from English Edition 2.4 for Version 19.29) cover this programming
language in depth, including data types, control structures, functions,
macros, syntax tables, searching/matching, modes, windows, keymaps, byte
compilation, and the operating system interface.

`The GNU Awk User's Guide' (Edition 1.0 for Version 3.0) tells how to use
`gawk'.  It is written for those who have never used `awk' and describes
features of this powerful string and record manipulation language.  It
clearly delineates those features which are part of POSIX `awk' from `gawk'
extensions, providing a comprehensive guide to `awk' program portability.

`GNU Make' (Edition 0.51 for Version 3.76 Beta) describes GNU `make', a
program used to rebuild parts of other programs.  The manual tells how to
write "makefiles", which specify how a program is to be compiled and how its
files depend on each other.  Included are an introductory chapter for novice
users and a section about automatically generated dependencies.

The `Flex' manual (Edition 1.03 for Version 2.3.7) teaches you to write a
lexical scanner definition for the `flex' program to create a C++ or C-coded
scanner that recognizes the patterns defined.  You need no prior knowledge of
scanners.

`The Bison Manual' (November 1995 Edition for Version 1.25) teaches you how
to write context-free grammars for the Bison program that convert into
C-coded parsers.  You need no prior knowledge of parser generators.

`Using and Porting GNU CC' (November 1995 Edition for Version 2.7.2) tells
how to run, install, and port the GNU C Compiler to new systems.  It lists
new features and incompatibilities of GCC, but people not familiar with C
will still need a good reference on the C programming language.  It also
covers G++.

The `Texinfo' manual (Edition 2.24 for Version 3) explains the markup
language that produces our online Info documentation & typeset hardcopies.
It tells you how to make tables, lists, chapters, nodes, accented & special
characters, indexes, cross references, & how to catch mistakes.

`The Termcap Manual' (3rd Edition for Version 1.3), often described as "twice
as much as you ever wanted to know about termcap," details the format of the
termcap database, the definitions of terminal capabilities, and the process
of interrogating a terminal description.  This manual is primarily for
programmers.

The `C Library Reference Manual' (Edition 0.08 for Version 2.0) describes the
library's facilities, including both what Unix calls "library functions" &
"system calls."  We are doing small copier runs of this manual until it
becomes more stable.  Please send fixes to `[e-mail]'.

The `Emacs Calc Manual' (for Version 2.02) is both a tutorial and a reference
manual.  It tells how to do ordinary arithmetic, how to use Calc for algebra,
calculus, and other forms of mathematics, and how to extend Calc.

 

GNU Software
************

All our software is available via FTP; see *Note How to Get GNU Software::.
We also offer *Note CD-ROMs::, and printed *Note Documentation::, which
includes manuals and reference cards.  In the articles describing the
contents of each medium, the version number listed after each program name
was current when we published this Bulletin.  When you order a newer CD-ROM,
some of the programs may be newer and therefore the version number higher.
*Note Free Software Foundation Order Form::, for ordering information.

Some of the contents of our FTP distributions are compressed.  We have
software on our FTP sites to uncompress these files.  Due to patent troubles
with `compress', we use another compression program, `gzip'.

You may need to build GNU `make' before you build our other software.  Some
vendors supply no `make' utility at all and some native `make' programs lack
the `VPATH' feature essential for using the GNU configure system to its full
extent.  The GNU `make' sources have a shell script to build `make' itself on
such systems.

We welcome all bug reports and enhancements sent to the appropriate
electronic mailing list (*note Free Software Support::.).

 

Configuring GNU Software
------------------------

We are using Autoconf, a uniform scheme for configuring GNU software packages
in order to compile them (see "Autoconf" and "Automake" below, in this
article).  The goal is to have all GNU software support the same alternatives
for naming machine and system types.

Ultimately, it will be possible to configure and build the entire system all
at once, eliminating the need to configure each individual package separately.

You can also specify both the host and target system to build
cross-compilation tools.  Most GNU programs now use Autoconf-generated
configure scripts.

 

GNU Software Now Available

manuals.  Source code for each manual or reference card is included with each
package.

   * `abuse'   *Also *note GNUs Flashes::.*   (SrcCD)

     The recently-freed program `abuse' is a dark, side-scrolling game with
     Robotron-esque controls: you control your movement with the keyboard and
     fire & aim with the mouse.  You can get more info at
     `http://crack.com/games/abuse'.

   * acct   (SrcCD)

     acct is a system accounting package.  It includes the programs `ac'
     (summarize login accounting), `accton' (turn accounting on or off),
     `last' (show who has logged in recently), `lastcomm' (show which
     commands have been used), `sa' (summarize process accounting),
     `dump-utmp' (print a `utmp' file in human-readable format), &
     `dump-acct' (print an `acct' or `pacct' file in human-readable format).

   * `acm'   (SrcCD)

     `acm' is a LAN-oriented, multiplayer, aerial combat simulation that runs
     under the X Window System.  Players engage in air to air combat against
     one another using heat seeking missiles and cannons.  We are working on
     a more accurate simulation of real airplane flight characteristics.

   * aegis   (SrcCD)

     Aegis is a transaction-based software configuration management system.
     It provides a framework within which a team of developers may work on
     many changes to a program concurrently, and Aegis coordinates
     integrating these changes back into the master source of the program,
     with as little disruption as possible.

   * Apache   *Also see* `http://www.apache.org/'   (SrcCD)

     Apache is an HTTP server designed as a successor to the NCSA family of
     Web servers.  It adds a significant amount of new functionality, has an
     extensive API for modular enhancements, is extremely flexible without
     compromising speed, and has an active development group and user
     community.

   * Autoconf   (SrcCD)

     Autoconf produces shell scripts which automatically configure source code
     packages.  These scripts adapt the packages to many kinds of Unix-like
     systems without manual user intervention.  Autoconf creates a script for
     a package from a template file which lists the operating system features
     which the package can use, in the form of `m4' macro calls.  Autoconf
     requires GNU `m4' to operate, but the resulting configure scripts it
     generates do not.

   * Automake   (SrcCD)

     Automake is a tool for generating `Makefile.in' files for use with
     Autoconf.  The generated makefiles are compliant with GNU Makefile
     standards.

   * BASH   (SrcCD)

     GNU's shell, BASH (Bourne Again SHell), is compatible with the Unix `sh'
     and offers many extensions found in `csh' and `ksh'.  BASH has job
     control, `csh'-style command history, command-line editing (with Emacs
     and `vi' modes built-in), and the ability to rebind keys via the
     `readline' library.  BASH conforms to the POSIX 1003.2-1992 standard.

   * bc   (SrcCD)

     `bc' is an interactive algebraic language with arbitrary precision
     numbers.  GNU `bc' follows the POSIX 1003.2-1992 standard with several
     extensions, including multi-character variable names, an `else'
     statement, and full Boolean expressions.  The RPN calculator `dc' is now
     distributed as part of the same package, but GNU `bc' is not implemented
     as a `dc' preprocessor.

   * BFD   (BinCD, SrcCD)

     The Binary File Descriptor library allows a program which operates on
     object files (e.g., `ld' or GDB) to support many different formats in a
     clean way.  BFD provides a portable interface, so that only BFD needs to
     know the details of a particular format.  One result is that all
     programs using BFD will support formats such as a.out, COFF, and ELF.
     BFD comes with Texinfo source for a manual (not yet published on paper).

     At present, BFD is not distributed separately; it is included with
     packages that use it.

   * Binutils   (BinCD, SrcCD)

     Binutils includes these programs: `addr2line', `ar', `c++filt', `gas',
     `gprof', `ld', `nm', `objcopy', `objdump', `ranlib', `size', `strings', &
     `strip'.

     Binutils version 2 uses the BFD library.  The GNU assembler, `gas',
     supports the a29k, Alpha, ARM, D10V, H8/300, H8/500, HP-PA, i386, i960,
     M32R, m68k, m88k, MIPS, Matsushita 10200 and 10300, NS32K, PowerPC,
     RS/6000, SH, SPARC, Tahoe, Vax, and Z8000 CPUs, and attempts to be
     compatible with many other assemblers for Unix and embedded systems.  It
     can produce mixed C and assembly listings, and includes a macro facility
     similar to that in some other assemblers.  GNU's linker, `ld', supports
     shared libraries on many systems, emits source-line numbered error
     messages for multiply-defined symbols and undefined references, and
     interprets a superset of AT&T's Linker Command Language, which gives
     control over where segments are placed in memory.  `objdump' can
     disassemble code for most of the CPUs listed above, and can display
     other data (e.g., symbols and relocations) from any file format read by
     BFD.

   * Bison   (BinCD, SrcCD)   [FSFman, FSFrc]

     Bison is an upwardly compatible replacement for the parser generator
     `yacc'.  Texinfo source for the `Bison Manual' and reference card are
     included.

   * C Library (`glibc')   (BinCD, SrcCD)   [FSFman]

     The GNU C library supports ISO C-1989, ISO C/amendment 1-1995, POSIX
     1003.1-1990, POSIX 1003.1b-1993, POSIX 1003.1c-1995 (when the underlying
     system permits), & most of the functions in POSIX 1003.2-1992.  It is
     nearly compliant with the extended XPG4.2 specification which guarantees
     upward compatibility with 4.4BSD & many System V functions.

     When used with the GNU Hurd, the C Library performs many functions of the
     Unix system calls directly.  Mike Haertel has written a fast `malloc'
     which wastes less memory than the old GNU version.

     GNU `stdio' lets you define new kinds of streams, just by writing a few
     C functions.  Two methods for handling translated messages help writing
     internationalized programs & the user can adopt the environment the
     program runs in to conform with local conventions.  Extended `getopt'
     functions are already used to parse options, including long options, in
     many GNU utilities.  The name lookup functions now are modularized which
     makes it easier to select the service which is needed for the specific
     database & the document interface makes it easy to add new services.
     Texinfo source for the `GNU C Library Reference Manual' is included
     (*note Documentation::.).

     Previous versions of the GNU C library ran on a large number of systems.
     The architecture-dependent parts of the C library have not been updated
     since development on version 2.0 started, so today it runs out of the
     box only on GNU/Hurd (all platforms GNU/Hurd also runs on) & GNU/Linux
     (ix86, Alpha, m68k, MIPS, Sparc, PowerPC; work is in progress for ARM).
     Other architectures will become available again as soon as somebody does
     the port.

   * C++ Library (`libg++')   (BinCD, SrcCD)

     The GNU C++ library (traditionally called `libg++') includes libstdc++,
     which implements the library facilities defined by the forthcoming ISO
     C++ standard.  This includes strings, iostream, and various container
     classes.  All of this is templatized.

     The package also contains the older libg++ library for backward
     compatibility, but new programs should avoid using it.

   * Calc   (SrcCD)   [FSFman, FSFrc]

     Calc (written by Dave Gillespie in Emacs Lisp) is an extensible, advanced
     desk calculator & mathematical tool that runs as part of GNU Emacs.  You
     can use Calc as a simple four-function calculator, but it has many more
     features including: choice of algebraic or RPN (stack-based) entry;
     logarithmic, trigonometric, & financial functions; arbitrary precision;
     complex numbers; vectors; matrices; dates; times; infinities; sets;
     algebraic simplification; & differentiation & integration.  It outputs
     to `gnuplot', & comes with source for a manual & reference card (*note
     Documentation::.).

   * `cfengine'   (SrcCD)

     `cfengine' is used to maintain site-wide configuration of a
     heterogeneous Unix network using a simple high level language.  Its
     appearance is similar to `rdist', but allows many more operations to be
     performed automatically.  See Mark Burgess, "A Site Configuration
     Engine", `Computing Systems', Vol. 8, No. 3 (ask `[e-mail]' how
     to get a copy).

   * Chess   (SrcCD)

     GNU Chess enables you to play a game of chess with a computer instead of
     a person.  It is useful to practice with when there are significant
     spare cpu cycles and a real person is unavailable.

     The program offers a plain terminal interface, one using curses, and a
     reasonable X Windows interface `xboard'.  Best results are obtained by
     compiling with GNU C.

     Improvements this past year are in the Windows-compatible version,
     mostly bugfixes.

     Stuart Cracraft started the GNU mascot back in the mid-1980's.  John
     Stanback (and innumerable contributors) are responsible for GNU's brain
     development and its fair play.  Acknowledgements for the past year's
     work are due Conor McCarthy.

   * CLISP   (SrcCD)

     CLISP is a Common Lisp implementation by Bruno Haible & Michael Stoll.
     It mostly supports the Lisp described by `Common LISP: The Language (2nd
     edition)' & the ANSI Common Lisp standard.  CLISP includes an
     interpreter, a byte-compiler, a large subset of CLOS & a foreign language
     interface.  The user interface language (English, German, French) can be
     chosen at run time.  An X11 API is available through CLX & Garnet.
     CLISP needs only 2 MB of memory & runs on all kinds of Unix systems & on
     many microcomputers (including MS-DOS systems, OS/2, Windows NT, Windows
     95, Amiga 500-4000, & Acorn RISC PC).  See also item "Common Lisp",
     which describes GCL, a complete Common Lisp implementation with compiler.

   * CLX   (SrcCD)

     CLX is an X Window interface library for GCL.  This is separate from the
     built-in TK interface.

   * Common Lisp (`gcl')   (SrcCD)

     GNU Common Lisp (GCL, formerly known as Kyoto Common Lisp) is a compiler
     & interpreter for Common Lisp.  GCL is very portable & extremely
     efficient on a wide class of applications, & compares favorably in
     performance with commercial Lisps on several large theorem-prover &
     symbolic algebra systems.  GCL supports the CLtL1 specification but is
     moving towards the proposed ANSI standard.

     GCL compiles to C & then uses the native optimizing C compiler (e.g.,
     GCC).  A function with a fixed number of args & one value turns into a C
     function of the same number of args, returning one value--so GCL is
     maximally efficient on such calls.  Its conservative garbage collector
     gives great freedom to the C compiler to put Lisp values in registers.
     It has a source level Lisp debugger for interpreted code & displays
     source code in an Emacs window.  Its profiler (based on the C profiling
     tools) counts function calls & the time spent in each function.

     There is now a built-in interface to the Tk widget system.  It runs in a
     separate process, so users may monitor progress on Lisp computations or
     interact with running computations via a windowing interface.

     There is also an Xlib interface via C (xgcl-2).  CLX runs with GCL, as
     does PCL (see "PCL" later in this article).

     GCL version 2.2.2 is released under the GNU Library General Public
     License.

   * cook   (SrcCD)

     Cook is a tool for constructing files, and maintaining referential
     integrity between files.  It is given a set of files to create, and
     recipes of how to create and maintain them.  In any non-trivial program
     there will be prerequisites to performing the actions necessary to
     creating any file, such as include files.  The `cook' program provides a
     mechanism to define these.

     Some features which distinguish Cook include a strong procedural
     description language, and fingerprints to supplement file modification
     time stamps.  There is also a `make2cook' utility included to ease
     transition.

   * `cpio'   (SrcCD)

     `cpio' is an archive program with all the features of SVR4 `cpio',
     including support for the final POSIX 1003.1 `ustar' standard.  `mt', a
     program to position magnetic tapes, is included with `cpio'.

   * CVS   (SrcCD)

     CVS is a version control system (like RCS or SCCS) which allows you to
     keep old versions of files (usually source code), keep a log of who,
     when, and why changes occurred, etc.  It handles multiple developers,
     multiple directories, triggers to enable/log/control various operations,
     and can work over a wide area network.  It does not handle build
     management or bug-tracking; these are handled by `make' and GNATS,
     respectively.

   * `cxref'   (SrcCD)

     `cxref' is a program that will produce documentation (in LaTeX or HTML)
     including cross-references from C program source code.  It has been
     designed to work with ANSI C, incorporating K&R, and most popular GNU
     extensions.  The documentation for the subject program is produced from
     comments in the code that are appropriately formatted.  The cross
     referencing comes from the code itself and requires no extra work.

   * DDD   (SrcCD)

     The Data Display Debugger (DDD) is a common graphical user interface to
     GDB, DBX, and XDB, the popular Unix debuggers.  DDD provides a graphical
     data display where complex data structures can be explored incrementally
     and interactively.  DDD has been designed to compete with well-known
     commercial debuggers; as of release 2.1.1, DDD also compiles and runs
     with LessTif, a free Motif clone, without loss of functionality.  For
     more details, see the DDD WWW page at
     `http://www.cs.tu-bs.de/softech/ddd/'.

   * DejaGnu   (SrcCD)

     DejaGnu is a framework to test programs with a single front end for all
     tests.  DejaGnu's flexibility & consistency makes it easy to write tests.
     DejaGnu will also work with remote hosts and embedded systems.

     DejaGnu comes with `expect', which runs scripts to conduct dialogs with
     programs.

   * Diffutils   (SrcCD)

     GNU `diff' compares files showing line-by-line changes in several
     flexible formats.  It is much faster than traditional Unix versions.  The
     Diffutils package has `diff', `diff3', `sdiff', & `cmp'.  Future plans
     include support for internationalization (e.g., error messages in
     Chinese) & some non-Unix PC environments, & a library interface that can
     be used by other free software.

   * DJGPP   *Also see "GCC" below*   (BinCD)

     DJ Delorie has ported GCC/G++ to i386s running DOS.  DJGPP has a 32-bit
     i386 DOS extender with a symbolic debugger, development libraries, &
     ports of Bison, `flex', & Binutils.  Full source code is provided.  It
     needs at least 5MB of hard disk space to install & 512K of RAM to use.
     It supports SVGA (up to 1024x768), XMS & VDISK memory allocation,
     `himem.sys', VCPI (e.g., QEMM, DESQview, & 386MAX), & DPMI (e.g.,
     Windows 3.x, OS/2, QEMM, & QDPMI).  Version 2 was released in Feb. 1996,
     & needs a DPMI environment; a free DPMI server is included.

     `/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/' (or a SimTel mirror site).

     Ask `[e-mail]', to join a DJGPP users mailing list.

   * `dld'   (SrcCD)

     `dld' is a dynamic linker written by W. Wilson Ho.  Linking your program
     with the `dld' library allows you to dynamically load object files into
     the running binary.  `dld' supports a.out object types on the following
     platforms: Convex C-Series (BSD), i386/i486/Pentium (GNU/Linux), Sequent
     Symmetry i386 (Dynix 3), Sun-3 (SunOS 3 & 4), Sun-4 (SunOS 4), & VAX
     (Ultrix).

   * `doschk'   (SrcCD)

     This program is a utility to help software developers ensure that their
     source file names are distinguishable on System V platforms with
     14-character filenames and on MS-DOS systems with 8+3 character
     filenames.

   * `ed'   (SrcCD)

     `ed' is the standard text editor.  It is line-oriented and can be used
     interactively or in scripts.

   * Elib   (SrcCD)

     Elib is a small library of Emacs Lisp functions, including routines for
     using AVL trees and doubly-linked lists.

   * Elisp archive   (SrcCD)

     This is a snapshot of Ohio State's GNU Emacs Lisp FTP Archive.  FTP it
     from `archive.cis.ohio-state.edu' in `/pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive'.

   * Emacs   *Also *note GNUs Flashes::.*   [FSFman(s), FSFrc]

     In 1975, Richard Stallman developed the first Emacs, an extensible,
     customizable real-time display editor & computing environment.  GNU Emacs
     is his second implementation.  It offers true Lisp--smoothly integrated
     into the editor--for writing extensions & provides an interface to the X
     Window System.  It runs on Unix, MS-DOS, & Windows NT or 95.  In
     addition to its powerful native command set, Emacs can emulate the
     editors vi & EDT (DEC's VMS editor).  Emacs has many other features which
     make it a full computing support environment.  Source for the `GNU Emacs
     Manual' & a reference card comes with the software.  Sources for the
     `GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual', & `Programming in Emacs Lisp: An
     Introduction' are distributed in separate packages.  *Note
     Documentation::.

   * Emacs 20   (SrcCD)   [FSFman(s), FSFrc]

     Emacs 20.1 was just released recently.  Its main new features include
     support for many languages and many character codes (the MULE facility)
     and a new convenient customization feature.  The text-filling commands
     handle indented and bulleted paragraphs conveniently; there are new help
     facilities for looking up documentation about functions and symbols in
     various languages.  A new method of file-locking works even when using
     NFS.  Some dired commands have been made more systematic.

     We believe Emacs 20 operates on the same systems as Emacs 19, but we do
     not have confirmation for all of them.

   * Emacs 19   (SrcCD)   [FSFman(s), FSFrc]

     Emacs 19 works with character-only terminals & with the X Window System
     (with or without an X toolkit).  It also runs on MS-DOS, MS Windows, and
     with multiple-window support on MS Windows 95/NT.

     Emacs 19 works on: Acorn RISC (RISCiX); Alliant FX/2800 (BSD); Alpha
     (OSF/1 or GNU/Linux); Apollo (DomainOS); Bull DPX/2 2nn & 3nn (SysV.3) &
     sps7 (SysV.2); Clipper; Convex (BSD); Cubix QBx (SysV); Data General

   * Emacs 18   (SrcCD)   [FSFrc]

     Emacs 18 is several years old.  We no longer maintain it, but still
     distribute it for those using platforms which Emacs 19 does not support.

   * `enscript'   (SrcCD)

     `enscript' is an upwardly-compatible replacement for the Adobe
     `enscript' program.  It formats ASCII files (outputting in Postscript)
     and stores generated output to a file or sends it directly to the
     printer.

   * `es'   (SrcCD)

     `es' is an extensible shell (based on `rc') with first-class functions,
     lexical scope, exceptions, and rich return values (i.e., functions can
     return values other than just numbers).  `es''s extensibility comes from
     the ability to modify and extend the shell's built-in services, such as
     path searching and redirection.  Like `rc', it is great for both
     interactive use and scripting, particularly since its quoting rules are
     much less baroque than the C and Bourne shells.

   * Exim   (SrcCD)

     Exim is a new Internet mail transfer agent, similar in style to Smail 3.
     It can handle relatively high volume mail systems, header rewriting,
     control over which hosts/nets may use it as a relay, blocking of
     unwanted mail from specified hosts/nets/senders, and multiple local
     domains on one mail host ("virtual domains") with several options for
     the way these are handled.

   * `f2c'   *Also see "Fortran" below & in *Note Forthcoming GNUs::.*  
     (SrcCD)

     `f2c' converts Fortran-77 source into C or C++, which can be compiled
     with GCC or G++.  Get bug fixes by FTP from site `netlib.bell-labs.com'
     or by email from `[e-mail]'.  For a summary, see the
     file `/netlib/f2c/readme.gz'.

   * `ffcall'   (SrcCD)

     `ffcall' is a C library for implementing foreign function calls in
     embedded interpreters by Bill Triggs and Bruno Haible.  It allows C
     functions with arbitrary argument lists and return types to be called or
     emulated (callbacks).

   * Fileutils   (SrcCD)

     The Fileutils are: `chgrp', `chmod', `chown', `cp', `dd', `df', `dir',
     `dircolors', `du', `install', `ln', `ls', `mkdir', `mkfifo', `mknod',
     `mv', `rm', `rmdir', `sync', `touch', & `vdir'.

   * Findutils   (SrcCD)

     `find' is frequently used both interactively and in shell scripts to
     find files which match certain criteria and perform arbitrary operations
     on them.  Also included are `locate', which scans a database for file
     names that match a pattern, and `xargs', which applies a command to a
     list of files.

   * Finger   (SrcCD)

     GNU Finger has more features than other finger programs.  For sites with
     many hosts, a single host may be designated as the finger "server" host
     and other hosts at that site configured as finger "clients".  The server
     host collects information about who is logged in on the clients.  To
     finger a user at a GNU Finger site, a query to any of its client hosts
     gets useful information.  GNU Finger supports many customization
     features, including user output filters and site-programmable output for
     special target names.

   * `flex'   (BinCD, SrcCD)   [FSFman, FSFrc]

     `flex' is a replacement for the `lex' scanner generator.  `flex' was
     written by Vern Paxson of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and generates
     far more efficient scanners than `lex' does.  Sources for the `Flex
     Manual' and reference card are included (*note Documentation::.).

   * Fontutils   (SrcCD)

     The Fontutils convert between font formats, create fonts for use with
     Ghostscript or TeX (starting with a scanned type image & converting the
     bitmaps to outlines), etc.  It includes: `bpltobzr', `bzrto',
     `charspace', `fontconvert', `gsrenderfont', `imageto', `imgrotate',
     `limn', & `xbfe'.

   * Fortran (`g77')   *Also *note Forthcoming GNUs::.*   (BinCD, SrcCD)

     GNU Fortran (`g77'), developed by Craig Burley, is available for public
     beta testing on the Internet.  For now, `g77' produces code that is
     mostly object-compatible with `f2c' & uses the same run-time library
     (`libf2c').

   * `gawk'   (SrcCD)   [FSFman]

     `gawk' is upwardly compatible with the latest POSIX specification of
     `awk'.  It also provides several useful extensions not found in other
     `awk' implementations.  Texinfo source for the `The GNU Awk User's
     Guide' comes with the software (*note Documentation::.).

   * `gcal'   (SrcCD)

     `gcal' is a program for printing calendars.  It displays different
     styled calendar sheets, eternal holiday lists, and fixed date warning
     lists.

   * GCC   (BinCD, SrcCD)   [FSFman]

     Version 2 of the GNU C Compiler supports the languages C, C++, and
     Objective-C; the source file name suffix or a compiler option selects
     the language.  (Also see "GNAT" later in this article for Ada language
     supports.) Objective-C support was donated by NeXT.  The runtime support
     needed to run Objective-C programs is now distributed with GCC.  (This
     does not include any Objective-C classes aside from `object', but see
     "GNUstep" in *Note Forthcoming GNUs::.) G++ seeks to be compliant with
     the ANSI C++ language standard.  See
     `http://www.cygnus.com/misc/wp/index.html' for the latest draft.

     GCC is a fairly portable optimizing compiler which performs many
     optimizations.  They include: automatic register allocation, common
     sub-expression elimination (CSE) (including a certain amount of CSE
     between basic blocks - though not all the supported machine descriptions
     provide for scheduling or delay slots), invariant code motion from
     loops, induction variable optimizations, constant propagation, copy
     propagation, delayed popping of function call arguments, tail recursion
     elimination, integration of inline functions & frame pointer elimination,
     instruction scheduling, loop unrolling, filling of delay slots, leaf
     function optimization, optimized multiplication by constants, the
     ability to assign attributes to instructions, & many local optimizations
     automatically deduced from the machine description.

     GCC can open-code most arithmetic on 64-bit values (type `long long
     int').  It supports extended floating point (type `long double') on the
     68k; other machines will follow.  GCC supports full ANSI C, traditional
     C, & GNU C extensions (including: nested functions support, nonlocal
     gotos, & taking the address of a label).

     GCC can generate a.out, COFF, ELF, & OSF-Rose files when used with a
     suitable assembler.  It can produce debugging information in these
     formats: BSD stabs, COFF, ECOFF, ECOFF with stabs, & DWARF.

     GCC generates code for many CPUs, including the a29k, Alpha, ARM, AT&T,
     DSP1610, Clipper, Convex cN, Elxsi, Fujitsu Gmicro, i370, i860, i960,
     MIL-STD-1750a, MIPS, ns32k, PDP-11, Pyramid, ROMP, RS/6000, SH, SPUR,
     Tahoe, VAX, & we32k.

     Position-independent code is generated for the Clipper, Hitachi H8/300,
     HP-PA (1.0 & 1.1), i386/i486/Pentium, m68k, m88k, SPARC, & SPARClite.

     Operating systems supported include: GNU/Hurd, GNU/Linux, ACIS, AIX, AOS,
     BSD, Clix, Concentrix, Ctix, DG/UX, Dynix, FreeBSD, Genix, HP-UX, Irix,
     ISC, Luna, LynxOS, Minix, NetBSD, NewsOS, NeXTStep, OS/2, OSF, OSF-Rose,
     RISCOS, SCO, Solaris 2, SunOS 4, System/370, SysV, Ultrix, Unos, VMS, &
     Windows/NT.

     Using the configuration scheme for GCC, building a cross-compiler is as
     easy as building a native compiler.

     Texinfo source for the `Using and Porting GNU CC' manual is included
     with GCC (*note Documentation::.).

   * GDB   (BinCD, SrcCD)   [FSFman, FSFrc]

     GDB, the GNU DeBugger, is a source-level debugger for C, C++, & Fortran.
     It provides partial support for Modula-2 & Chill.

     GDB can debug both C & C++, & will work with executables made by many
     different compilers; but, C++ debugging will have some limitations if
     you do not use GCC.

     GDB has a command line user interface, and Emacs has GDB mode as an
     interface.  Two X interfaces (not distributed or maintained by the FSF)
     are: `gdbtk' (FTP it from `ftp.cygnus.com' in directory `/pub/gdb'); and
     `xxgdb' (FTP it from `ftp.x.org' in directory `/contrib/utilities').

     Executable files and symbol tables are read via the BFD library, which
     allows a single copy of GDB to debug programs with multiple object file
     formats (e.g., a.out, COFF, ELF).  Other features include a rich command
     language, remote debugging over serial lines or TCP/IP, and watchpoints
     (breakpoints triggered when the value of an expression changes).

     GDB uses a standard remote interface to a simulator library which
     includes simulators for the ARM, Hitachi H8/300, Hitachi SH, & PowerPC.

     GDB can perform cross-debugging.  To say that GDB "targets" a platform
     means it can perform native or cross-debugging for it.  To say that GDB
     can "host" a given platform means that it can be built on it, but cannot
     necessarily debug native programs.

     GDB can:

        * "target" & "host": Amiga 3000 (AmigaOS, Amix, NetBSD), DEC Alpha
          (OSF/1), DECstation 3100 & 5000 (Ultrix), HP 9000/300 (BSD, HP-UX),

     the high end, symmetric multiprocessing servers that are currently on the
     market.  It is available for many more Unix variants than any other
     comparable product, and inter-operates with other NQS systems, including
     Cray's NQE.

   * `geomview'   *See* `http://www.geom.umn.edu/software/geomview'   (SrcCD)

     `geomview' is an interactive geometry viewing program, for Unix systems
     with Motif, using X, GL, or OpenGL graphics.  It allows multiple
     independently controllable objects and cameras.  External programs may
     drive desired aspects of the viewer, e.g. loading changing geometry or
     controlling motion, while allowing interactive mouse-and-GUI control of
     everything else.  Controllable features include motion, appearance
     (wireframe, shading, lighting and material properties), mouse-based
     selection, snapshoting (PPM or SGI image, Postscript, and RenderMan
     formats), display in hyperbolic and spherical spaces, and projection
     from higher dimensions.  Includes converters to display Mathematica and
     Maple 3-D graphics, and limited conversion to/from VRML.

   * `gettext'   *Also *note Help the Translation Project::.*   (SrcCD)

     The GNU `gettext' tool set has everything maintainers need to
     internationalize a package's user messages.  Once a package has been
     internationalized, `gettext''s many tools help translators localize
     messages to their native language and automate handling the translation
     files.

     Level 2 interpreter and a PDF 1.1 interpreter (except for encryption).
     Significant new features include the ability to convert PDF to
     Postscript.

     Ghostscript executes commands in the Postscript and PDF languages by
     writing directly to a printer, drawing on an X window, or writing to
     files for printing later or manipulating with other graphics programs.

     Ghostscript includes a C-callable graphics library (for client programs
     that do not want to deal with the Postscript language).  It also runs on
     MS-DOS, MS Windows, OS/2, OpenVMS, and Mac OS (native on both 68K and
     PowerPC) (but please do *not* ask the FSF staff any questions about this;
     we do not use these operating systems).

   * Ghostview   (SrcCD)

     Tim Theisen, `[e-mail]', created Ghostview, a previewer for
     multi-page files with an X Window interface.  Ghostview & Ghostscript
     work together; Ghostview creates a viewing window & Ghostscript draws in
     it.

   * GIT   (SrcCD)

   * `mkisofs'   (SrcCD)

     `mkisofs' is a pre-mastering program to generate an ISO 9660 file system.
     It takes a snapshot of a directory tree, and makes a binary image which
     corresponds to an ISO 9660 file system when written to a block device.

     It can also generate the System Use Sharing Protocol records of the Rock
     Ridge Interchange Protocol (used to further describe the files in an ISO
     9660 file system to a Unix host; it provides information such as longer
     filenames, uid/gid, permissions, and device nodes).

     The `mkisofs' program is often used with `cdwrite'.  The `cdwrite'
     program works by taking the image that `mkisofs' generates and driving a
     cdwriter drive to actually burn the disk.  `cdwrite' works under
     GNU/Linux, and supports popular cdwriter drives.  Older versions of
     `cdwrite' were included with older versions of `mkisofs';

     Our Objective-C Class Library (`gstep-base.tar.gz', `libgnustep-base')
     has general-purpose, non-graphical Objective-C objects written by Andrew
     McCallum & others.  It includes collection classes for maintaining
     groups of objects, I/O streams, coders for formatting objects & C types
     to streams, ports for network packet transmission, distributed objects
     (remote object messaging), string classes, invocations, notifications,
     event loops, timers, exceptions, pseudo-random number generators, &
     more.  It has the base classes for the GNUstep project; all but a few of
     them have already been written.  Send queries & bugs to
     `[e-mail]'.  See "GNUstep" in *Note Forthcoming GNUs::.

   * OBST   (SrcCD)

     OBST is a persistent object management system with bindings to C++.
     OBST supports incremental loading of methods.  Its graphical tools
     require the X Window System.  It features a hands-on tutorial including
     sample programs.  It compiles with G++, and should install easily on
     most Unix platforms.

   * Octave   *Also see* `http://www.che.wisc.edu/octave'   (SrcCD)

     Octave does arithmetic for real and complex scalars and matrices, solves
     sets of nonlinear algebraic equations, integrates systems of ordinary
     differential & differential-algebraic equations, and integrates
     functions over finite & infinite intervals.  Two- & three-dimensional
     plotting is available using `gnuplot'.

     Version 2.0.9 of Octave was released in July.  It includes support for
     dynamically linked functions, user-defined data types, many new
     functions, & a completely revised manual.  Octave works on most Unix
     systems, OS/2, and Windows NT/95.

   * Oleo   (SrcCD)

     Oleo is a spreadsheet program (better for you than the more expensive
     spreadsheets).  It supports the X Window System and character-based
     terminals, and can output Embedded Postscript renditions of spreadsheets.
     Keybindings should be familiar to Emacs users and are configurable.
     Oleo supports multiple variable-width fonts when used under the X Window
     System or outputting to Postscript devices.

   * `p2c'   (SrcCD)

     `p2c' is Dave Gillespie's Pascal-to-C translator.  It inputs many
     dialects (HP, ISO, Turbo, VAX, etc.)  & generates readable,
     maintainable, portable C.

   * `patch'   (SrcCD)

     `patch' applies `diff''s output to a set of original files to generate
     the modified versions.  Recent versions of GNU `patch' can update binary
     files, and can remove files and directories when they become obsolete.

   * PCL   (SrcCD)

     PCL is a free implementation of a large subset of CLOS, the Common Lisp
     Object System.  It runs under both GCL and CLISP, mentioned above.

   * `perl'   (SrcCD)

     Larry Wall's `perl' combines the features & capabilities of C, `sed',
     `awk', & `sh', and provides interfaces to the Unix system calls & many C
     library routines.

   * `phttpd'    (SrcCD)

     `phttpd' is a high speed World Wide Web server using multithreading,
     memory mapping, and dynamic linking to achieve its goals of high speed,
     scalability, and light weight.  It is currently supported only on
     Solaris (SunOS5).

   * plotutils   (SrcCD)

     The GNU plotutils (plotting utilities) package includes `libplot', a
     subroutine library for producing 2-D device-independent vector graphics,
     and `graph', a sample application for plotting 2-D scientific data that
     is built on top of `libplot'.  Supported devices include X Window System
     displays, Postscript devices, and Tektronix emulators.  `xfig' output
     format, which can be edited with the free graphics editor `xfig', is
     also supported.  The Postscript output format includes directives which
     allow it to be edited with the `idraw' graphics editor.  Included with
     `graph' are `spline', a program that uses splines in tension to
     interpolate data, and `ode', an application that will numerically
     integrate a system of ordinary differential equations.

   * PRCS   (SrcCD)

     PRCS, the Project Revision Control System, is a version control program
     with purpose similar to that of CVS.  It was designed with simplicity in
     mind.  Like CVS, PRCS uses RCS to accomplish this task, but this is
     inconsequential to the user, as RCS is completely hidden beneath a layer
     of abstraction.

   * `ptx'   (SrcCD)

     GNU `ptx' is our version of the traditional permuted index generator.
     It handles multiple input files at once, has TeX compatible output, &
     outputs readable "KWIC" (KeyWords In Context) indexes without using
     `nroff'.  Plans are to merge this package into `textutils'.

     It does not yet handle input files that do not fit in memory all at once.

   * `rc'   (SrcCD)

     `rc' is a shell that features a C-like syntax (much more so than `csh')
     and far cleaner quoting rules than the C or Bourne shells.  It's
     intended to be used interactively, but is also great for writing
     scripts.  It inspired the shell `es'.

   * RCS   (SrcCD)

     RCS, the Revision Control System, is used for version control &
     management of software projects.  Used with GNU `diff', RCS can handle
     binary files (8-bit data, executables, object files, etc).  RCS now
     conforms to GNU configuration standards & to POSIX 1003.1b-1993.  Also
     see the CVS item above.

   * `readline'   (BinCD, SrcCD)

     Brian Fox wrote the `readline' library one weekend in 1987, so that the
     FSF would have a clean Emacs-like line editing facility that could be
     used across multiple programs.  After installing it in Bash, he went on
     to test the reusability of the code by adding it to GDB, and then later,
     to the GNU FTP client.  The library supplies many entry points--the
     simplest interface gives any program the ability to store a history of
     input lines, and gives the end user a complete Emacs-like (or vi-like)
     editing capability over the input, simply by replacing calls to `gets'
     with calls to `readline'.

   * `recode'   *Also *note Forthcoming GNUs::.*   (SrcCD)

     GNU `recode' converts files between character sets and usages.  When
     exact transliterations are not possible, it may delete the offending
     characters or fall back on approximations.  This program recognizes or
     outputs nearly 150 different character sets and is able to transliterate
     files between almost any pair.  Most RFC 1345 character sets are
     supported.

   * `regex'   (SrcCD)

     The GNU regular expression library supports POSIX.2, except for
     internationalization features.  It is included in many GNU programs which
     do regular expression matching & is available separately.  An alternate
     regular expression package, `rx', is faster than `regex' in many cases;
     we were planning to replace `regex' with `rx', but it is not certain
     this will happen.

   * Roxen   (SrcCD)

     Roxen is a modularized, object-oriented, non-forking World Wide Web
     server with high performance and throughput, and capabilities for on the
     fly image generation (`http://www.roxen.com').  It was formerly named
     Spinner, but was renamed for trademark reasons.

   * `rsync'   (SrcCD)

     `rsync' is a replacement for `rcp' that has many more features.  `rsync'
     uses the "rsync algorithm", which provides a very fast method for
     synchronizing large remote files, sending only the differences across
     the link.  It does not require both versions of a file to be local in
     order to compute the differences.  A technical report describing the
     rsync algorithm is included with the package.

   * `rx'   (SrcCD)

     Tom Lord has written `rx', a new regular expression library which is
     generally faster and more correct than the older GNU `regex' library.

   * SAOimage   (SrcCD)

     SAOimage is an X-based astronomical image viewer.  It reads array data
     images, which may be in specific formats, and displays them with a
     pseudocolor colormap.  There is full interactive control of the
     colormap, panning and zooming, graphical annotation, and cursor tracking
     in pixel and sky coordinates, among other features.

   * `screen'   (SrcCD)

     `screen' is a terminal multiplexer that runs several separate "screens"
     (ttys) on a single character-based terminal.  Each virtual terminal
     emulates a DEC VT100 plus several ISO 2022 and ISO 6429 (ECMA 48, ANSI
     X3.64) functions, including color.  Arbitrary keyboard input translation
     is also supported.  `screen' sessions can be detached and resumed later
     on a different terminal type.  Output in detached sessions is saved for
     later viewing.

   * `sed'   (SrcCD)

     `sed' is a stream-oriented version of `ed'.  It comes with the `rx'
     library.

   * Sharutils   (SrcCD)

     `shar' makes so-called shell archives out of many files, preparing them
     for transmission by electronic mail services; `unshar' helps unpack
     these shell archives after reception.  `uuencode' and `uudecode' are
     POSIX compliant implementations of a pair of programs which transform
     files into a format that can be safely transmitted across a 7-bit ASCII
     link.

   * Shellutils   (SrcCD)

     The Shellutils are: `basename', `chroot', `date', `dirname', `echo',
     `env', `expr', `factor', `false', `groups', `hostname', `id', `logname',
     `nice', `nohup', `pathchk', `printenv', `printf', `pwd', `seq', `sleep',
     `stty', `su', `tee', `test', `true', `tty', `uname', `uptime', `users',
     `who', `whoami', & `yes'.

   * Shogi   (SrcCD)

     Shogi is a Japanese game similar to Chess; a major difference is that
     captured pieces can be returned into play.

     GNU Shogi is a variant of GNU Chess; it implements the same features &
     similar heuristics.  As a new feature, sequences of partial board
     patterns can be introduced to help the program play toward specific
     opening patterns.  It has both character and X display interfaces.

     It is primarily supported by Matthias Mutz on behalf of the FSF.

   * SIPP   (SrcCD)

     SIPP is a library for photorealistically rendering 3D scenes.  Scenes can
     be illuminated by an arbitrary number of light sources; they are built up
     of object hierarchies, with arbitrarily many subobjects and subsurfaces.
     Surfaces can be rendered with either Phong, Gouraud, or flat shading.
     The library supports programmable shaders and texture mapping.

   * Smail   (SrcCD)

     Smail is a mail transport system, designed as a compatible drop-in
     replacement for `sendmail'.  It uses a much simpler configuration format
     than `sendmail' and is designed to be setup with minimal effort.

   * Smalltalk   (SrcCD)

     GNU Smalltalk is an interpreted object-oriented programming language
     system written in highly portable C.  It has been ported to MS-DOS, many
     Unixes, & other OSes.  Features include a binary image save capability,
     the ability to call user-written C code with parameters, an Emacs
     editing mode, a version of the X protocol invocable from Smalltalk,
     optional byte-code compilation and/or execution tracing, & automatically
     loaded per-user initialization files.  It implements all of the classes
     & protocol in the book "Smalltalk-80: The Language", except for the
     graphic user interface (GUI) related classes.

   * SNePS   (SrcCD)

     SNePS is the Semantic Network Processing System.  It is an
     implementation of a fully intensional theory of propositional knowledge
     representation and reasoning.  SNePS runs under CLISP or GCL.

   * `spell'   (SrcCD)

     GNU `spell' is a clone of standard Unix `spell', implemented as a
     wrapper to `ispell'.

   * `stow'   (SrcCD)

     `stow' manages the installation of multiple software packages, keeping
     them separate while making them appear (via symbolic links) to be
     installed in the same place.  For example, Emacs can be installed in
     `/usr/local/stow/emacs' and Perl in `/usr/local/stow/perl', permitting
     each to be administered separately, while with `stow' they will both
     appear to be installed in `/usr/local'.

   * Superopt   (SrcCD)

     Superopt is a function sequence generator that uses an exhaustive
     generate-and-test approach to find the shortest instruction sequence for
     a given function.  You provide a function as input, a CPU to generate
     code for, and how many instructions you want.  Its use in GCC is
     described in the `ACM SIGPLAN PLDI'92 Proceedings'.  It supports: SPARC,
     m68k, m68020, m88k, IBM POWER and PowerPC, AMD 29k, Intel x86 & 960,
     Pyramid, DEC Alpha, Hitachi SH, & HP-PA.

   * Swarm   (SrcCD)

     Swarm is a software package for multi-agent simulation of complex systems
     being developed at The Santa Fe Institute.  Swarm is intended to be a
     useful tool for researchers in a variety of disciplines, especially
     artificial life.  The basic architecture of Swarm is the simulation of
     collections of concurrently interacting agents: with this architecture,
     a large variety of agent based models can be implemented.

   * `tar'   (BinCD, SrcCD)

     GNU `tar' includes multi-volume support, the ability to archive sparse
     files, compression/decompression, remote archives, and special features
     that allow `tar' to be used for incremental and full backups.  GNU `tar'
     uses an early draft of the POSIX 1003.1 `ustar' format which is
     different from the final version.  This will be corrected in the future.

   * Termcap Library   (SrcCD)   [FSFman]

     The GNU Termcap library is a drop-in replacement for `libtermcap.a' on
     any system.  It does not place an arbitrary limit on the size of Termcap
     entries, unlike most other Termcap libraries.  Included is source for the
     `Termcap Manual' in Texinfo format (*note Documentation::.).

   * Termutils   (SrcCD)

     The Termutils package contains programs for controlling terminals.
     `tput' is a portable way for shell scripts to use special terminal
     capabilities.  `tabs' is a program to set hardware terminal tab settings.

     for all its printed documentation.  You will need it if you want to make
     printed manuals.  See `http://www.tug.org/web2c/'.

     The Source Code CD-ROM contains a minimal TeX collection, sufficient to
     process Texinfo files.  For a complete TeX distribution, including both
     sources and precompiled binaries for many platforms, consider teTeX.
     This is available on CD-ROM (see `http://www.tug.org/texlive.html'), or
     by FTP.  The FTP instructions change too frequently to include them here;
     see `ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/unixtex.ftp'.

   * Texinfo   (SrcCD)   [FSFman]

     Texinfo is a set of utilities (`makeinfo', `info', `install-info',
     `texi2dvi', `texindex', & `texinfmt.el') which generate printed manuals,
     plain ASCII text, & online hypertext documentation (called "Info"), &
     can read online Info documents; Info files can also be read in Emacs.
     Version 3 has both Emacs Lisp & standalone programs written in C or as
     shell scripts.  Texinfo mode for Emacs enables easy editing & updating
     of Texinfo files.  Source for the `Texinfo Manual' is included (*note
     Documentation::.).

     in C, allowing it to be easily ported to new systems & extended with any
     C-function (graphics, windowing, etc).

     Many documented Forth libraries are available, e.g. top-down parsing,
     multi-threads, & object-oriented programming.

   * `time'   (SrcCD)

     `time' reports (usually from a shell) the user, system, & real time used
     by a process.  On some systems it also reports memory usage, page
     faults, etc.

   * `ucblogo'   (SrcCD)

     `ucblogo' implements the classic teaching language, Logo.

   * `units'

     GNU `units' converts between different units of measurement, such as
     miles/gallon to km/liter.  (It can only handle multiplicative scale
     changes, so it cannot convert Celsius to Fahrenheit though it could
     convert temperature differences between those temperatures scales.)

   * UUCP   (SrcCD)

     GNU's UUCP system (written by Ian Lance Taylor) supports the `f', `g'
     (all window & packet sizes), `v', `G', `t', `e', Zmodem, & two new
     bidirectional (`i' & `j') protocols.  With a BSD sockets library, it can
     make TCP connections.  With TLI libraries, it can make TLI connections.
     Source is included for a manual (not yet published by the FSF).

     World Wide Web browser that runs as part of Emacs.  It supports all the
     bells and whistles you find on the Web today, including frames, tables,
     stylesheets, and much more.  See
     `http://www.cs.indiana.edu/elisp/w3/docs.html'.

   * `wdiff'   (SrcCD)

     `wdiff' is a front-end to GNU `diff'.  It compares two files, finding
     the words deleted or added to the first to make the second.  It has many
     output formats and works well with terminals and pagers.  `wdiff' is
     very useful when two texts differ only by a few words and paragraphs
     have been refilled.  Plans are to merge this package into `diffutils'.

   * `Wget'   (SrcCD)

     `Wget' non-interactively retrieves files from the WWW using HTTP & FTP.
     It is suitable for use in shell scripts.

   * `windows32api'   (SrcCD)

     `windows32' is a set of header files & import libraries that can be used
     by GNU tools for compiling & linking programs to be run on Windows NT/95.

     While supplies last, we will distribute X11R5 on the November 1993
     Source Code CD-ROM.

   * `xboard'   (SrcCD)

     `xboard' is a graphical chessboard for X Windows.  It can serve as a
     user interface to the Crafty or GNU chess programs, the Internet Chess
     Servers, e-mail correspondence chess, or games saved in Portable Game
     Notation.

   * `xgrabsc'   (SrcCD)

     `xgrabsc' is a screen capture program similar to `xwd' but with a
     graphical user interface, more ways of selecting the part of the screen
     to capture, & different types of output: Postscript, color Postscript,
     xwd, bitmap, pixmap, & puzzle.

   * `xinfo'   (SrcCD)

     `xinfo' is an X-windows program for reading Info files.  It uses a
     special widget, which is available for use in other programs.

   * xmcd   *Also see* `http://sunsite.unc.edu/~cddb/xmcd/'   (SrcCD)

     `xmcd' is an X11-based CD player utility and `cda' is a command-line
     driven, non-graphical CD audio player.  `xmcd' is developed to use the
     OSF/Motif API (version 1.1 and later) and can also be used with LessTif,
     the free Motif clone.

     In its evolution over the past few years, `xmcd' has established itself
     as the premier CD player application for the X window system with an
     attractive, easy-to-use user interface.  It is feature-rich and runs on
     virtually all of the popular Unix and OpenVMS platforms.  It also
     supports the widest array of CD-ROM and CD-R devices, including some
     older SCSI-1 drives that do not work with other CD player applications.
     The remote CD database query feature fully utilizes the Internet and
     taps on a vast repository of CD artists/titles, track titles and other
     information.  Multi-disc changers are also supported.

     Like many other CD player applications, `xmcd' supports a CD database of
     disc and track titles and other information.  A distinguishing feature
     of `xmcd' is the ability to connect to a remote CD database server to
     query this information.  Many public Internet CD database servers have
     been established around the world for this purpose, and `xmcd' also
     allows the user to submit new CD entries to the master database.

   * `xshogi'   (SrcCD)

     `xshogi' is a graphical Shogi (Japanese Chess) board for the X Window
     System.  It can serve as a user interface to GNU Shogi, as a referee for

   * `Ygl'   (SrcCD)

     `Ygl' emulates a subset of SGI's GL (Graphics Language) library under
     X11 on most platforms with an ANSI C compiler (including GCC).  It has
     most two-dimensional graphics routines, the queue device & query
     routines, double buffering, RGB mode with dithering, Fortran bindings,
     etc.

   * zlibc   (SrcCD)

     Zlibc is an uncompressing C library for GNU/Linux and SunOS systems.  It
     is a preloadable shared object that allows executables to uncompress the
     datafiles that they need on the fly.  No kernel patch, no recompilation
     of these executables and no recompilation of the libraries is needed;
     the package overrides the `open' function (and other system call
     functions) in the shared library.

CD-ROMs
*******

We have two series of CD-ROMs: the Source Code CD-ROM, and the Compiler
Tools Binaries CD-ROM.

Our CDs are in ISO 9660 format & can be mounted as a read-only file system on
most computers.  If your driver supports it, you can mount each CD with "Rock
Ridge" extensions & it will look like a regular Unix file system, rather than
one full of truncated & otherwise mangled names that fit vanilla ISO 9660.

You can build most of the software without copying the sources off the CD.
You only need enough disk space for object files and intermediate build
targets.

 

Pricing of the GNU CD-ROMs
--------------------------

If a business or organization is ultimately paying, the current GNU Source
CD set costs $240.  The set costs $60 if you, an individual, are paying out
of your own pocket.  The current Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM costs $220
for a business or organization, and $55 for an individual.

 

What Do the Different Prices Mean?
..................................

The software on our disks is free; anyone can copy it and anyone can run it.
What we charge for is the physical disk and the service of distribution.

We charge two different prices depending on who is buying.  When a company
or other organization buys the Source CD-ROMs, we charge $240.  When an
individual buys the same CD-ROMs, we charge just $60.  This distinction is
not a matter of who is allowed to use the software.  In either case, once
you have a copy, you can distribute as many copies as you wish and there's
no restriction on who can have or run them.  The price distinction is
entirely a matter of what kind of entity pays for the CDs.

You, the reader, are certainly an individual, not a company.  If you are
buying a disk "in person", then you are probably doing so as an individual.
But if you expect to be reimbursed by your employer, then the disk is really
for the company; so please pay the company price and get reimbursed for it.
We won't try to check up on you--we use the honor system--so please cooperate.

Buying CDs at the company price is very helpful for GNU; just
150 Source CDs at that price support an FSF programmer or tech writer for a
year.

 

Why Is There an Individual Price?
.................................

In the past, our distribution tapes were ordered mainly by companies.  The CD
at the price of $240 provides them with all of our software for a much lower
price than they would previously have paid for six different tapes.  To lower
the price more would cut into the FSF's funds very badly and decrease the
software development we can do.

However, for individuals, $240 is too high a price; hardly anyone could
afford that.  So we decided to make CDs available to individuals at the lower
price of $60.

 

Is There a Maximum Price?
.........................

Our stated prices are minimum prices.  Feel free to pay a higher price if you
wish to support GNU development more.  The sky's the limit; we will accept as
high a price as you can offer.  Or simply give a donation (tax-deductible in
the U.S.) to the Free Software Foundation, a tax-exempt public charity.

 

January 1997 Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM
-------------------------------------------

In January 1997 we released the fourth edition of our CD-ROM that has
binaries and complete sources for GNU compiler tools for some systems which
lack a compiler.  This enables the people who use these systems to compile
GNU and other free software without having to buy a proprietary compiler.
You can also use these GNU tools to compile your own C/C++/Objective-C
programs.  Older editions of this CD are available while supplies last at a
reduced price; *Note Free Software Foundation Order Form::.

We hope to have more systems on each update of this CD.  If you can help
build binaries for new systems (especially those that don't come with a C
compiler), or have one to suggest, please contact us at the addresses on page
1.

Source Code CD-ROMs
-------------------

We have several versions of our Source Code CD-ROMs available, including:

   * July 1997 Source Code CD-ROMs, the newest release, has programs,
     bug fixes, & improvements.  See below.

   * January 1997 Source Code CD-ROMs.

   * July 1996 Source Code CD-ROMss.

   * December 1995 Source Code CD-ROMs.

   * June 1995 Source Code CD-ROM.

   * May 1994 Source Code CD-ROM.

   * November 1993 Source Code CD-ROM.

   * May 1993 Source Code CD-ROM.

   * October 1992 Source Code CD-ROM.

The older Source CDs are available while supplies last at a reduced price
(please note that the December 1994 Source CD is permanently out of stock).
All the Source CDs have Texinfo source for the GNU manuals listed in *Note
Documentation::.

Much of X11 is *not* on the older Source CDs which are just one CD
instead of two.

There are no precompiled programs on these Source CDs.  You will need a C
compiler (programs which need some other interpreter or compiler normally
provide the C source for a bootstrapping program).  We ship C compiler
binaries for some systems on the *Note Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM::.

 

July 1997 Source Code CD-ROMs
.............................

The 10th edition of our Source Code CD is available now with two CD-ROM disks.
It has programs, bug fixes, & improvements not on the older Source CDs.  It
has these packages, & some manuals that are not part of packages.  The
version number of each package listed might be higher on the 10th edition CD
due to new releases being made since this list was generated.

CD-ROM Subscription Service
***************************

Our subscription service enables you to stay current with the latest GNU
developments.  For a one-time cost equivalent to three Source CD-ROMs (plus
shipping in some cases), we will ship you four new versions of the *Note
Source Code CD-ROMs::.  The CD-ROMs are sent as they are issued (currently
twice a year, but we hope to make it more frequent).  We do not yet know if
we will be offering subscriptions to the Compiler Tools Binaries CD.

A subscription is an easy way to keep up with the regular bug fixes to the X
Window System.  Each edition of the *Note Source Code CD-ROMs::, has updated
sources for the X Window System.

Please note: In two cases, you must pay 4 times the normal shipping required
for a single order when you pay for each subscription.  If you're in Alaska,
Hawaii, or Puerto Rico you must add $20.00 for shipping for each
subscription.  If you're outside of the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico, you
must add $80.00 for each subscription.  See "CD-ROMs" and "Tax and Shipping
Costs" on the *note Free Software Foundation Order Form::.

 

FSF T-shirt
***********

The front of our T-shirt has the GNU Emacs Lisp code `(USE 'GNU)' with "`()'"
being the dancing parentheses from the cover of our `GNU Emacs Lisp Reference
Manual' (drawn by Berkeley, CA artist Etienne Suvasa).  The shirt's back has
the Preamble to the GNU General Public License.

These shirts come in black, natural (off-white), burgundy, and blue-green.
When you order, please give 3 choices.  Black is printed in white and the
other colors are printed in black.  All shirts are thick 100% cotton; black
and burgundy come in sizes M, L, XL, and XXL and the others in sizes L and XL
(they run small so you may want a larger size than usual).

GNU T-shirts often create spontaneous friendships at conferences & on
university campuses.  They also make great gifts for friends & family,
including children!
