* keyboard.c (Vlast_event_frame): Make this variable exist even when MULTI_FRAME isn't #defined. People might find it necessary for writing correct programs, even when the programs don't explicitly use multiple frames. (read_char, kbd_buffer_store_event, kbd_buffer_get_event): No need to test MULTI_FRAME before setting Vlast_event_frame. (syms_of_keyboard): DEFVAR Vlast_event_frame whether or not MULTI_FRAME is defined. * keyboard.c: Add switch-frame events. (Qswitch_frame): New event header symbol. (head_table): Include Qswitch_frame in the table of event heads. (kbd_buffer_get_event): Detect when a frame switch has occurred, and return a frame switch event before the enqueued event. (make_lispy_switch_frame): New function. (unread_switch_frame): New variable. (read_key_sequence): Don't throw away the key sequence if the user switches frames in the middle of the sequence. Instead, when we receive a switch-frame event in the middle of a key sequence, save it, and stuff it into unread_switch_frame when the sequence is complete. (read_char): If unread_switch_frame is set, return that value. (command_loop_1): No need to check Vlast_event_frame and select new frames here; that's taken care of by switch-frame events now. (syms_of_keyboard): Initialize and staticpro unread_switch_frame. * keyboard.c (follow_key, read_key_sequence): Call access_keymap with T_OK true. * keyboard.c (apply_modifiers): Copy the value of BASE's Qevent_kind property to the new symbol. * keyboard.c (syms_of_keyboard): Qevent_kind should be initialized to intern ("event-kind"), not intern ("event-type").

* 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 its 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
