+
+This directory tree holds version 24.0.50 of GNU Emacs, the extensible,
+customizable, self-documenting real-time display editor.
+
+The file INSTALL in this directory says how to build and install GNU
+Emacs on various systems, once you have unpacked or checked out the
+entire Emacs file tree.
+
+See the file etc/NEWS for information on new features and other
+user-visible changes in recent versions of Emacs.
+
+The file etc/PROBLEMS contains information on many common problems that
+occur in building, installing and running Emacs.
+
+You may encounter bugs in this release.  If you do, please report
+them; your bug reports are valuable contributions to the FSF, since
+they allow us to notice and fix problems on machines we don't have, or
+in code we don't use often.  Please send bug reports to the mailing
+list [e-mail].  If possible, use M-x report-emacs-bug.
+
+See the "Bugs" section of the Emacs manual for more information on how
+to report bugs.  (The file `BUGS' in this directory explains how you
+can find and read that section using the Info files that come with
+Emacs.)  See `etc/MAILINGLISTS' for more information on mailing lists
+relating to GNU packages.
+
+The `etc' subdirectory contains several other files, named in capital
+letters, which you might consider looking at when installing GNU
+Emacs.
+
+The file `configure' is a shell script to acclimate Emacs to the
+oddities of your processor and operating system.  It creates the file
+`Makefile' (a script for the `make' program), which automates the
+process of building and installing Emacs.  See INSTALL for more
+detailed information.
+
+The file `configure.in' is the input used by the autoconf program to
+construct the `configure' script.  Since Emacs has some configuration
+requirements that autoconf can't meet directly, and for historical
+reasons, `configure.in' uses an unholy marriage of custom-baked
+configuration code and autoconf macros.  If you want to rebuild
+`configure' from `configure.in', you will need to install a recent
+version of autoconf and GNU m4.
+
+The file `Makefile.in' is a template used by `configure' to create
+`Makefile'.
+
+The file `make-dist' is a shell script to build a distribution tar
+file from the current Emacs tree, containing only those files
+appropriate for distribution.  If you make extensive changes to Emacs,
+this script will help you distribute your version to others.
+
+There are several subdirectories:
+
+`src'       holds the C code for Emacs (the Emacs Lisp interpreter and
+            its primitives, the redisplay code, and some basic editing
+            functions).
+`lisp'      holds the Emacs Lisp code for Emacs (most everything else).
+`leim'      holds the library of Emacs input methods, Lisp code and
+            auxiliary data files required to type international characters
+            which can't be directly produced by your keyboard.
+`lib-src'   holds the source code for some utility programs for use by or
+            with Emacs, like movemail and etags.
+`etc'       holds miscellaneous architecture-independent data files Emacs
+            uses, like the tutorial text and tool bar images.
+            The contents of the `lisp', `leim', `info', and `doc'
+            subdirectories are architecture-independent too.
+`info'      holds the Info documentation tree for Emacs.
+`doc/emacs' holds the source code for the Emacs Manual.  If you modify the
+            manual sources, you will need the `makeinfo' program to produce
+            an updated manual.  `makeinfo' is part of the GNU Texinfo
+            package; you need a suitably recent version of Texinfo.
+`doc/lispref'   holds the source code for the Emacs Lisp reference manual.
+`doc/lispintro' holds the source code for the Introduction to Programming
+                in Emacs Lisp manual.
+`msdos'     holds configuration files for compiling Emacs under MSDOG.
+`nextstep'  holds instructions and some other files for compiling the
+            Nextstep port of Emacs, for GNUstep and Mac OS X Cocoa.
+`nt'        holds various command files and documentation files that pertain
+            to building and running Emacs on Windows 9X/ME/NT/2000/XP.
+`test'      holds tests for various aspects of Emacs's functionality.
+
+   Building Emacs on non-Posix platforms requires tools that aren't part
+of the standard distribution of the OS.  The platform-specific README
+files and installation instructions should list the required tools.
