Last updated 1999-01-20 - -* Please send improvements to this file to gnu@gnu.org. - -* 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. This is exactly the same warranty that the proprietary -software companies offer: None.

Unless indicated -otherwise, login in as user "anonymous", with password: "your e-mail -address" and set "binary" mode (to transfer all eight bits in each -byte). - -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 It - -GNU software is available on ftp.gnu.org under the directory /gnu. -diff files to convert between versions exist for some of these -programs. Some programs have misc support files as well. Have a look -on ftp.gnu.org to see which ones. In most cases, the tar or diff -files are compressed with the `gzip' program; this is indicated with -the .gz suffix. Binaries for gzip can be downloaded from -http://www.gzip.org. - -Descriptions of GNU software are available at - http://www.gnu.org/software/software.html - and in the Free Software Directory at - http://www.gnu.org/directory/index.html - -* Alternative Internet FTP Sources - -The canonical GNU ftp site is located at ftp.gnu.org/gnu. -You should probably use one of the many mirrors of that site - the -mirrors will be less busy, and you can find one closer to your site. -

The emacs -distribution itself has a filename in the form emacs-M.N.tar.gz, where -M and N stand for the version numbers; the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual -is in a separate file, named elisp-manual-NN.tar.gz. - -* Scheme and How to FTP It - -The latest distribution version of C Scheme is available via anonymous FTP -from swiss-ftp.ai.mit.edu in /pub/scheme-X.X/ (where X.X is some version -number). - -Read the files INSTALL and README in the top level C Scheme directory. - -* TeX and How to Obtain It - -We don't distribute TeX now, but it is free software. - -TeX is a document formatter that is used, among other things, by the FSF -for all its documentation. You will need it if you want to make printed -manuals. - -TeX is freely redistributable. You can get it by ftp, tape, or CD/ROM. - -** For FTP instructions, retrieve the file -ftp.cs.umb.edu/pub/tex/unixtex.ftp. (We don't include it here because it -changes 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 this -directory for more information. - -* GNU Software for VMS - - - http://www.lp.se/gnu-vms/- lots of GNU ports to VMS, -including Emacs 19, GCC, Bison, Make, RCS. - -* 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. The Foundation continues to improve GNU programs -and encourage the writing of new free software to enhance GNU/Linux -and GNU/Hurd systems. For more information on GNU and the Foundation, -see our web site at http://www.gnu.org. - -Ordering a GNU Source Code CD-ROM or Source Code CD-ROM Subscription -is a good way for your organization to help support our work. You can -also purchase printed manuals, reference cards, t-shirts, and other -items. See our online ordering form at http://order.fsf.org for -details.
