Last updated 1999-01-20* Please send improvements to this file to gnu@gnu.org.* No WarrantiesWe distribute software in the hope that it will be useful, but withoutany warranty. No author or distributor of this software acceptsresponsibility to anyone for the consequences of using it or forwhether it serves any particular purpose or works at all, unless hesays so in writing. This is exactly the same warranty that the commercialsoftware companies offer: None. If the distribution is incomplete or themedia fails, you can always download a replacement from any of the GNUmirrors, free of charge.* UpdatesA possibly more up-to-date list of GNU FTP sites is at http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html* How to FTPUse the ftp program on your system (ask locally if you can't find it)to connect to the host you are ftping from. Unless indicatedotherwise, login in as user "anonymous", with password: "your e-mailaddress" and set "binary" mode (to transfer all eight bits in eachbyte).ALWAYS USE BINARY/IMAGE MODE TO TRANSFER THESE FILES!Text mode does not work for tar files or compressed files.* GNU Software and How To FTP ItGNU software is available on ftp.gnu.org under the directory /gnu.diff files to convert between versions exist for some of theseprograms. Some programs have misc support files as well. Have a lookon ftp.gnu.org to see which ones. In most cases, the tar or difffiles are compressed with the `gzip' program; this is indicated withthe .gz suffix.Descriptions of GNU software are available at http://www.gnu.org/software/software.html* Alternative Internet FTP SourcesPlease do NOT use a site outside your country, until you have checkedall sites inside your country, and then your continent. Trans-oceanTCP/IP links are very expensive and usually very low speed.The canonical GNU ftp site is located at ftp.gnu.org/gnu.You should probably use one of the many mirrors of that site - themirrors will be less busy, and you can find one closer to your site.* GNU FTP Site Mirror ListUnited States:California - labrea.stanford.edu/pub/gnu, gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/GNU, ftp.keystealth.org/pub/gnuHawaii - ftp.hawaii.edu/mirrors/gnuIllinois - uiarchive.cso.uiuc.edu/pub/gnu (Internet address 128.174.5.14)Kentucky - ftp.ms.uky.edu/pub/gnuMaryland - ftp.digex.net/pub/gnu (Internet address 164.109.10.23)Massachusetts - aeneas.mit.edu/pub/gnuMichigan - gnu.egr.msu.edu/pub/gnuMissouri - wuarchive.wustl.edu/systems/gnuNew Mexico - ftp.cs.unm.edu/mirrors/gnuNew York - ftp.cs.columbia.edu/archives/gnu/prepNew York - ftp.stealth.net/pub/mirrors/ftp.gnu.org (Internet address 206.252.192.18)North Carolina - http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/gnuOhio - ftp.cis.ohio-state.edu/mirror/gnuPennsylvania - boron.club.cc.cmu.edu/gnuTennessee - sunsite.utk.edu/pub/gnu/ftpVirginia - ftp.uu.net/archive/systems/gnuWashington - ftp.nodomainname.net/pub/mirrors/gnuWisconsin - ftp.twtelecom.net/pub/GNUAfrica:South Africa - ftp.sun.ac.za/gnuThe Americas:Brazil - ftp.unicamp.br/pub/gnuBrazil - master.softaplic.com.br/pub/gnuBrazil - ftp.matrix.com.br/pub/gnuCanada - ftp.cs.ubc.ca/mirror2/gnuChile - ftp.inf.utfsm.cl/pub/gnu (Internet address 146.83.198.3)Costa Rica - sunsite.ulatina.ac.cr/Mirrors/GNUMexico - ftp.uaem.mx/pub/gnuAustralia:Australia - ftp.progsoc.uts.edu.au/pub/gnuAustralia - mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/gnuAsia:China - ftp.sea9.com/pub/gnuChina - ftp.cs.cuhk.edu.hk/pub/gnu/China - sunsite.ust.hk/pub/gnu/Japan - tron.um.u-tokyo.ac.jp/pub/GNU/prepJapan - ftp.cs.titech.ac.jp/pub/gnuJapan - mirror.nucba.ac.jp/mirror/GNU/Japan - core.ring.gr.jp/pub/GNUJapan - ftp.ring.gr.jp/pub/GNUKorea - cair-archive.kaist.ac.kr/pub/gnu (Internet address 143.248.186.3)Korea - ftpmirror.hanyang.ac.kr/GNU Saudi Arabia - ftp.isu.net.sa/pub/mirrors/prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnuTaiwan - coda.nctu.edu.tw/UNIX/gnuTaiwan - ftp1.sinica.edu.tw/pub3/GNU/gnu/Thailand - ftp.nectec.or.th/pub/mirrors/gnu (Internet address - 192.150.251.32)Europe:Austria - ftp.gnu.vbs.at/gnuAustria - ftp.univie.ac.at/packages/gnuAustria - gd.tuwien.ac.at/gnu/gnusrcBelgium - ftp.be.gnu.orgAustria - http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/gnu/gnusrc/Czech Republic - ftp.fi.muni.cz/pub/gnu/Denmark - ftp.denet.dk/mirror/ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnuDenmark - ftp.dkuug.dk/pub/gnu/Finland - ftp.funet.fi/pub/gnuFrance - ftp.univ-lyon1.fr/pub/gnuFrance - ftp.irisa.fr/pub/gnuFrance - ftp.medasys-digital-systems.fr/pub/gnuFrance - ftp.fuitad.net/mirrors/ftp.gnu.orgGermany - ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/unix/gnu/Germany - ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/gnuGermany - ftp.de.uu.net/pub/gnuGermany - ftp.freenet.de/pub/ftp.gnu.org/gnu/Germany - ftp.gigabell.net/pub/gnuGermany - ftp.cs.uni-bonn.de/pub/gnu/Germany - ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/ftp.gnu.orgGermany - http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/ftp.gnu.orgGreece - ftp.forthnet.gr/pub/gnuGreece - ftp.ntua.gr/pub/gnuGreece - ftp.duth.gr/pub/gnuGreece - ftp.aua.gr/pub/mirrors/GNU (Internet address 143.233.187.61)Hungary - ftp.kfki.hu/pub/gnuIreland - ftp.esat.net/pub/gnu (Internet address 193.120.14.241)Israel - iglu.org.il/pub/GNUItaly - ftp.oasi.gpa.it/pub/gnuNetherlands - ftp.eu.net/gnu (Internet address 192.16.202.1)Netherlands - ftp.nluug.nl/pub/gnuNetherlands - ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/gnu (Internet address 131.155.70.19)Netherlands - ftp.mirror.nl/pub/mirror/gnuNetherlands - ftp.nl.uu.net/pub/gnuNorway - ftp.ntnu.no/pub/gnu (Internet address 129.241.11.142)Norway - sunsite.uio.no/pub/gnuPoland - ftp.task.gda.pl/pub/gnuPoland - sunsite.icm.edu.pl/pub/gnuPortugal - ftp.ci.uminho.pt/pub/mirrors/gnu Portugal - http://ciumix.ci.uminho.pt/mirrors/gnu/Portugal - ftp.ist.utl.pt/pub/gnuPortugal - mirrors.netvisao.pt/gnuRomania - archive.logicnet.ro/mirrors/ftp.gnu.org/gnu/Russia - ftp.chg.ru/pub/gnuSlovenia - ftp.arnes.si/gnuSpain - ftp.etsimo.uniovi.es/pub/gnuSpain - ftp.rediris.es/pub/gnuSweden - ftp.isy.liu.se/pub/gnuSweden - ftp.stacken.kth.seSweden - ftp.luth.se/pub/unix/gnuSweden - ftp.sunet.se/pub/gnu (Internet address 130.238.127.3) Also mirrors the Mailing List Archives.Sweden - ftp.chl.chalmers.se/pub/gnu/Switzerland - ftp.eunet.ch/mirrors4/gnuSwitzerland - sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/mirror/gnu (Internet address 193.5.24.1)Turkey - ftp.baskent.edu.tr/gnu/ftpUnited Kingdom - ftp.mcc.ac.uk/pub/gnu (Internet address 130.88.203.12)United Kingdom - ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/United Kingdom - ftp.warwick.ac.uk/pub/gnu (Internet address 137.205.192.13)United Kingdom - SunSITE.doc.ic.ac.uk/gnu (Internet address 193.63.255.4)* How to FTP GNU EmacsEmacs is in the directory /gnu/emacs on ftp.gnu.org. The emacsdistribution itself has a filename in the form emacs-M.N.tar.gz, whereM and N stand for the version numbers; the Emacs Lisp Reference Manualis in a separate file, named elisp-manual-NN.tar.gz.* Scheme and How to FTP ItThe latest distribution version of C Scheme is available via anonymous FTPfrom swiss-ftp.ai.mit.edu in /pub/scheme-X.X/ (where X.X is some versionnumber).Read the files INSTALL and README in the top level C Scheme directory.* TeX and How to Obtain ItWe don't distribute TeX now, but it is free software.TeX is a document formatter that is used, among other things, by the FSFfor all its documentation. You will need it if you want to make printedmanuals.TeX is freely redistributable. You can get it by ftp, tape, or CD/ROM.** For FTP instructions, retrieve the fileftp.cs.umb.edu/pub/tex/unixtex.ftp. (We don't include it here because itchanges relatively frequently. Sorry.)** A minimal TeX collection (enough to process Texinfo files, anyway)is included on the GNU source CD-ROM. See the file ORDERS in thisdirectory for more information.* VMS FTP sites with GNU SoftwareYou can anonymously ftp a VMS version of GNU emacs from: - ftp.vms.stacken.kth.se:[.GNU-VMS] - GNU Emacs and some other VMSports (and some VMS binaries) of GNU software - mango.rsmas.miami.edu has a VMS version of the GCC/G++ compiler.Contact angel@flipper.miami.edu (angel li) for details. - RIGEL.EFD.LTH.SE [130.235.48.3] - GNU Emacs* Getting GNU software in Great Britainjpo@cs.nott.ac.uk is willing to distribute those GNU sources he hasavailable. The smaller items are available from the info-server (sendto info-server@cs.nott.ac.uk); the larger items by negotiation. Due tocommunication costs this service is only available within the UK.BattenIG@computer-science.birmingham.ac.uk (akaI.G.Batten@fulcrum.bt.co.uk) is also willing to distribute those GNUsources he has.wizards@doc.ic.ac.uk is willing to distribute those GNU sources they havealong with most other freely distributable software. The SunSITE archiveon SunSITE.doc.ic.ac.uk (193.63.255.4) is available via ftp, http, fsp,gopher, NFS and Lanmanger over IP (SMB), and telnet.UK sites with just anonymous FTP access are in the above list.* Getting GNU software via UUCPOSU is distributing via UUCP: most GNU software, MIT C Scheme,Compress, News, RN, NNTP, Patch, some Appletalk stuff, some of theInternet Requests For Comment (RFC) et al..
