+GNU Service Directory
+---------------------
+
+This is a list of people who have asked to be listed as offering
+support services for GNU software, including GNU Emacs, for a fee
+or in some cases at no charge.
+
+The information comes from the people who asked to be listed;
+we do not include any information we know to be false, but we
+cannot check out any of the information; we are transmitting it to
+you as it was given to us and do not promise it is correct.
+Also, this is not an endorsement of the people listed here.
+We have no opinions and usually no information about the abilities of
+any specific person.  We provide this list to enable you to contact
+service providers and decide for yourself whether to hire one.
+
+Before FSF will list your name in the GNU Service Directory, we ask
+that you agree informally to the following terms:
+
+1. You will not restrict (except by copyleft) the use or distribution
+of any software, documentation, or other information you supply anyone
+in the course of modifying, extending, or supporting GNU software.
+This includes any information specifically designed to ameliorate the
+use of GNU software.
+
+2. You will not take advantage of contact made through the Service
+Directory to advertise an unrelated business (e.g., sales of
+non-GNU-related proprietary information).  You may spontaneously
+mention your availability for general consulting, but you should not
+promote a specific unrelated business unless the client asks.
+
+Please include some indication of your rates, because otherwise users
+have nothing to go by.	Please put each e-mail address inside "<>".
+Please put nothing else inside "<>".  Thanks!

+What I do:
+        Primarily I work on GNU software for VMS, both VAX and AXP.  I've
+        been porting GNU Emacs to VMS since spring 1991.  I've  ported a
+        bunch of other GNU programs as well.  I maintain GNU vmslib.
+        For further info, see http://www.lp.se/~levitte/prof/resume.html
+
+Programs supported:
+        To a varying degree (ranging from extension and porting to
+        installation and simple questions) at the time of updating this
+        entry:
+        - GNU vmslib, emacs, autoconf, zip, diffutils, m4, patch, texinfo,
+          C/C++; on both VMS and Unix.
+        - Other GNU programs to a small degree; on Unix.
+        For further info, look at http://www.lp.se/products/gnu.html
+
+Experience:
+        Fluent in TeX/LaTeX and many programming languages.
+        Modified key elements in Emacs (e.g., memory and process management)
+        to work transparently on VMS.  I have very good knowledge in the VMS
+        operating system.  I'm also knowledged in the a few Unix flavors.

+	- I Am Not A Help Desk !  I have no time to do that.
+	  Neither the FSF nor anyone else pays me to offer any such service.
+	- I contribute  source code to the public domain, but I sell my time,
+	  which is Not available as a public service.
+	- I dislike phone calls from strangers seeking free advice on things
+	  I may well not know enough about.  Post such questions to an Internet
+	  newsgroup or list (via a friend if you don't have Internet access)
+	  & let someone with time, best knowledge, & inclination answer.
+	- If you must phone me, immediately ask for a few minutes advice 
+	  "Free Of Charge" (else if you just swamp me in technicalities
+	  without first having the decency to let me know you'r Not a potential
+	  paying customer, you'r just encouraging me to hang up).
+	- Give me an email address, so I can forward follow-up info.
+        - Volunteer to phone back next week to hear subsequent info/solutions/
+          questions I/friends/net have come up with meantime: Almost always the
+          information I have instantly to hand is a small fraction of the
+          useful information I could provide. I despise those who do not phone
+          back later, after I've spent time researching their problem; but I
+          refuse to also waste my money on long distance calls to inform them
+          what I've previously wasted my time learning for their benefit.
+	- Language: Make an effort,  speak some English !  Use no German
+	  dialect, only Hoch Deutsch.  Spell very slowly & clearly, I am Not
+	  good at fast German pronunciation, & don't recognise umlauts !

+I can install GNU software, customize it, fix bugs, answer questions,
+and teach.
+
+I am fluent in C, emacs lisp, Bourne shell, and awk.  I also have a
+good understanding of automake and autoconf.
+
+I have modified identd, cvs, and ftpd to change their security
+procedures; I have modified the GNU fileutils to understand new flag
+bits that were added to the Hurd.  I have been involved in developing
+Hurd translators.  Long ago, I worked on developing a web browser;
+that project was eventually killed, but I learned a lot in the
+process.
+
+I am experienced in webmastering and system administration.
