* frame.c (Qheight, Qicon, Qmodeline, Qname, Qnone, Qonly, Qunsplittable, Qwidth, Qx): New symbols, with lisp code to rebuild syms_of_frame. (syms_of_xfns): Initialize and staticpro them. (Fframep, Fframe_visible_p, Fframe_parameters): Use the new Q... variables, instead of interning things. (store_in_alist): Change the argument char *PROPNAME into a Lisp_Object PROP; let the caller take care of interning the atom. * frame.c (Fframe_visible_p): Doc fix. * frame.c (Fframe_parameters): When figuring the `minibuffer' parameter, if FRAME doesn't have a minibuffer, return `none', not nil. If it does have a minibuffer with other windows, return the window. * frame.c (Fmodify_frame_parameters): Don't write out the loop for processing X frame parameters here; do it in the x specific code. Call the function which deals with this stuff x_set_frame_parameters, not x_set_frame_parameter. * frame.c (Fmake_frame_visible, Fmake_frame_invisible, Ficonify_frame, Fframe_parameters, Fmodify_frame_parameters, Fset_frame_height, Fset_frame_width, Fset_frame_size, Fset_frame_position): Place clauses controlled by FRAME_X_P inside `#ifdef HAVE_X_WINDOWS ... #endif' clauses. * frame.c (Fset_frame_position): Doc fix. * frame.c [MULTI_SCREEN] (Fset_frame_height, Fset_frame_width, Fset_frame_size): Call change_frame_size with a DELAY of 0. [not MULTI_SCREEN] (Fset_frame_height, Fset_frame_width, Fset_frame_size, Fset_screen_height, Fset_screen_width): Same. * frame.c [not MULTI_SCREEN] (Fset_frame_height, Fset_frame_width, Fset_frame_size, Fframe_height, Fframe_width): New functions, for use when Emacs is not compiled with multiple screens. [not MULTI_SCREEN] (Fset_screen_height, Fset_screen_width): Functions added for backward compatibility with Emacs 18. These would be just aliases, except that the version 18 functions don't take a FRAME argument. [not MULTI_SCREEN] (syms_of_frame): New function, to defsubr the above and add screen-height and screen-width as aliases for Fframe_height and Fframe_width. * frame.c (Fset_frame_width): Change the size of FRAME, not of selected_frame. * frame.c (Fset_frame_width, Fset_frame_height): Declare the `frame' argument to be a Lisp_Object. It used to be undeclared. * frame.c (FRAME_IS_TERMCAP, FRAME_IS_X, FRAME_HAS_MINIBUF): Renamed these to FRAME_TERMCAP_P, FRAME_X_P, and FRAME_HAS_MINIBUF_P, for consistency with the rest of the frame macros.

* GNU and the Free Software Foundation

Project GNU is organized as part of the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
The Free Software Foundation has the following goals:
  1) to create GNU as a full development/operating system.
  2) to distribute GNU and other useful software with source code and
permission to copy and redistribute.

Further information on the rationale for GNU is in file
/pub/gnu/GNUinfo/GNU (All files referred to are on the Internet host
prep.ai.mit.edu.

Information on GNU Internet mailing lists and gnUSENET newsgroupscan
be found in file /pub/gnu/GNUinfo/MAILINGLISTS.

* How To Get The Software

The easiest way to get a copy of the distribution is from someone else
who has it.  You need not ask for permission to do so, or tell any one
else; just copy it.  The second easiest is to ftp it over the
Internet.  The third easiest way is to uucp it.  Ftp and uucp
information is in file /pub/gnu/GNUinfo/FTP.

If you cannot get a copy any of these ways, or if you would feel more
confident getting copies straight from us, or if you would like to get
some funds to us to help in our efforts, you can order one from the
Free Software Foundation.  See file /pub/gnu/GNUinfo/DISTRIB.

* Available Software

**  GNU Emacs

The GNU Emacs distribution includes:
	- manual source in TeX format.
	- an enhanced regex (regular expression) library.

See file /pub/gnu/GNUinfo/MACHINES for the status of porting Emacs to
various machines and operating systems.

** C Scheme - a block structured dialect of LISP.

The Free Software Foundation distributes C Scheme for the MIT Scheme
Project on it tapes.  A partial ftp distribution can be found on
prep.ai.mit.edu.  The full ftp distribution can be found on
zurich.ai.mit.edu.

Problems with the C Scheme distribution and it's ftp distribution
should be referred to: <[e-mail]>.  There are two
general mailing lists: <[e-mail]> and
<[e-mail]>.  Requests to join either list to:
<[e-mail]> or
<[e-mail]>.

** Other GNU Software

A fuller list of available software are in the files
/pub/gnu/GNUinfo/DISTRIB and /pub/gnu/GNUinfo/FTP.

* No Warranties

We distribute software in the hope that it will be useful, but without
any warranty.  No author or distributor of this software accepts
responsibility to anyone for the consequences of using it or for
whether it serves any particular purpose or works at all, unless he
says so in writing.

* If You Like The Software

If you like the software developed and distributed by the Free
Software Foundation, please express your satisfaction with a donation.
Your donations will help to support the foundation and make our future
efforts successful, including a complete development and operating
system, called GNU (Gnu's Not Un*x), which will run Un*x user
programs.  For more information on GNU and the Foundation, contact us
