They have also added a GNU logo to the back of that CD -with the words "Supports the Free Software Foundation". - -The SNOW 2.1 CD producers added the words "Includes $5 donation to the FSF" -to the front of their CD. Potential buyers will know just how much of the -price is for the FSF & how much is for the redistributor. - -The Sun Users Group Deutschland has made it even clearer: their CD says, -"Price 90 DM, + 12 DM donation to the FSF." We thank them for their -contribution to our efforts. - -Kyoto Micro Computer of Japan regularly gives us 10% of their GNU-related -sales. - -Mr. Hiroshi, Mr. Kojima, and the other authors of the `Linux Primer' in Japan -have donated money from the sales of their book. - -Infomagic has continued to make sizable donations to the FSF. - -At the request of author Arnold Robbins, Specialized Systems Consultants, Inc. -continues to donate 3% of their profits from selling `Effective AWK -Programming'. We would also like to acknowledge the many SSC authors who -have donated their royalties and fees to the FSF. - -In the long run, the success of free software depends on how much new free -software people develop. Free software distribution offers an opportunity to -raise funds for such development in an ethical way. These redistributors -have made use of the opportunity. Many others let it go to waste. - -You can help promote free software development by convincing for-a-fee -redistributors to contribute--either by doing development themselves or by -donating to development organizations (the FSF and others). - -The way to convince distributors to contribute is to demand and expect this -of them. This means choosing among distributors partly by how much they give -to free software development. Then you can show distributors they must -compete to be the one who gives the most. - -To make this work, you must insist on numbers that you can compare, such as, -"We will give ten dollars to the Foobar project for each disk sold." A vague -commitment, such as "A portion of the profits is donated," doesn't give you a -basis for comparison. Even a precise fraction "of the profits from this -disk" is not very meaningful, since creative accounting and unrelated -business decisions can greatly alter what fraction of the sales price counts -as profit. - -Also, press developers for firm information about what kind of development -they do or support. Some kinds make much more long-term difference than -others. For example, maintaining a separate version of a GNU program -contributes very little; maintaining a program on behalf of the GNU Project -contributes much. Easy new ports contribute little, since someone else would -surely do them; difficult ports such as adding a new CPU to the GNU compiler -or Mach contribute more; major new features & programs contribute the most. - -By establishing the idea that supporting further development is "the proper -thing to do" when distributing free software for a fee, we can assure a -steady flow of resources for making more free software. - - - -Help from Free Software Companies -********************************* - -When choosing a free software business, ask those you are considering how -much they do to assist free software development, e.g., by contributing money -to free software development or by writing free software improvements -themselves for general use. By basing your decision partially on this -factor, you can help encourage those who profit from free software to -contribute to its growth. - -Wingnut (SRA's special GNU support group) supports the FSF by purchasing -Deluxe Distribution packages on a regular basis. In this way they transfer -10% of their income to the FSF. Listing them here is our way of thanking -them. - - Wingnut Project - Software Research Associates, Inc. - 1-1-1 Hirakawa-cho, Chiyoda-ku - Tokyo 102, Japan - - Phone: (+81-3)3234-2611 - Fax: (+81-3)3942-5174 - E-mail: `info-wingnut@sra.co.jp' - WWW: `http://www.sra.co.jp/public/sra/product/wingnut/' - - - -Major Changes in GNU Software and Documentation -*********************************************** - - * Hurd Progress (Also *note What Is the Hurd::.) - - We have made three test releases of the Hurd, the most recent being 0.2. - The Hurd is currently much more reliable than previously, and various - utilities and file system translators, such as an FTP file system, have - been written that take advantage of the Hurd's unique design. - - One way for people to help out is to compile and run as much third-party - free software as they can; in this way we can find bugs and deficiencies - with some rapidity. Volunteers with a PC are therefore eagerly sought to - get the 0.2 release and compile their favorite Unix programs and games. - - Daily snapshots of the Hurd sources are now available for those that - want to see the latest (non-stable) version; see the Hurd page on the - FSF Web site, `http://www.gnu.ai.mit.edu', for more information. - - * New Source Code CD! (*note July 1997 Source Code CD-ROMs::.) - - We are releasing the July 1997 (Edition 10) Source Code CD-ROM this - month. Once again, it is a two disk set. It includes several new - packages: `aegis', `cook', `guavac', `lesstif', `prcs', `rsync', `swarm', - & `vera'. On the CD-ROMs are full distributions of X11R6.3,, - Emacs, GCC, and current versions of all other GNU Software. *Note GNU - Software::, for more about these packages. - - * New/Updated Manuals since Last Bulletin (*note Documentation::.) - - Since the last bulletin, we have published several updated editions of - our manuals (note the price changes): `GNU Emacs Manual', revised for - GNU Emacs version 20, now $30; & `Texinfo Manual', for version 3.11 of - Texinfo, now $25. We hope to have the following available very soon: - `GNU Tar manual', first time in print, freshly reorganized and - rewritten, $20; `GNU Software for MS-Windows and MS-DOS', a book and - CD-ROM set with a variety of GNU software compiled for MS-DOS and - Windows 3.1/95/97/NT, $35 ($140 for corporate orders). Watch our Web - site, `http://www.gnu.ai.mit.edu', for announcements of these - publications. - - * Fonts freed - - A free commercial-quality set of the basic 35 Postscript Type 1 fonts is - now finally available. The copyright holder of these fonts, URW++ - Design and Development Incorporated, has decided to release them under - the GPL. Each font includes `.pfb' (outlines), `.afm' (metrics), and - `.pfm' (Windows printer metrics) files. The fonts are compatible with - Adobe Type Manager and with general Type 1 manipulation tools, as well - as with Ghostscript and other Postscript language interpreters. - - The fonts are available in `ghostscript-fonts-4.0.tar.gz' on the usual - FTP sites. - - * DDD now works with LessTif (Also *note GNU Software::.) Release 2.1.1 - of DDD, the Data Display Debugger, now works with LessTif, a free Motif - clone. - - * Give to GNU the United Way! - - As a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization, the FSF is eligible to receive - United Way funds. When donating to United Way, one can specify that all - or part of the donation be directed to the FSF. On the donor form, - check the "Specific Requests" box and include the sentence, "Send my - gift to the Free Software Foundation, 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, - Boston, MA 02111." We especially appreciate the donations from Microsoft - matching the United Way donations of their employees. Also see *Note - Donations Translate Into Free Software::, and *Note Cygnus Matches - Donations!::. - - * Tapes and MS-DOS Diskettes No Longer Available from the FSF - - We no longer offer tapes or MS-DOS diskettes due to very low demand. - - * GNU Software Works on MS-DOS (Also *note GNU Software::.) - - GNU Emacs 19 and many other GNU programs have been ported to MS-DOS for - i386/i486/Pentium machines. We ship binaries & sources on the *Note - Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM::. - - * The FSF Takes Discover - - The Free Software Foundation now accepts the Discover card for orders or - donations. We also accept the following: Carte Blanche, Diner's Club, - JCB, MasterCard, Visa, and American Express. Note that we are charged - about 5% of an order's total amount in credit card processing fees; - please consider paying by check instead or adding on a 5% donation to - make up the difference. We do *not* recommend that you send credit card - numbers to us via email, since we have no way of insuring that the - information will remain confidential. - - * MULE Merge Complete - - MULE is the Multi-Lingual Emacs developed by Ken'ichi Handa at the - Electrotechnical Lab in Tsukuba, Japan. This code has been merged into - Emacs and is included in Emacs 20. - - * GPC, the GNU Pascal Compiler - - The GNU Pascal Compiler (GPC) is part of the GNU compiler family, GNU CC - or GCC. It combines a Pascal front end with the proven GNU compiler - backend for code generation and optimization. Unlike utilities such as - p2c, this is a true compiler, not just a converter. - - Version 2.0 of GPC corresponds to GCC version 2.7.2.1. - - The purpose of the GNU Pascal project is to produce a compiler which: - * combines the clarity of Pascal with powerful tools suitable for - real-life programming, - - * supports both the Pascal standard and the Extended Pascal standard - as defined by ISO, ANSI and IEEE. (ISO 7185:1990, ISO/IEC - 10206:1991, ANSI/IEEE 770X3.160-1989) - - * supports other Pascal standards (UCSD Pascal, Borland Pascal, - Pascal-SC) in so far as this serves the goal of clarity and - usability, - - * can generate code for and run on any computer for which the GNU C - Compiler can generate code and run on. - - The current release (2.0) implements Standard Pascal (ISO 7185, level 0) - and a large subset of Extended Pascal (ISO 10206) and Borland Pascal. - - The upcoming release 2.1 features better conformance to the various - Pascal standards, and of course bug fixes. - - A growing group of GPC enthusiasts contributes to the project with code, - bug reports or fixes. - - `http://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/~gnu-pascal/', also known as - `http://home.pages.de/~gnu-pascal/', is the GNU Pascal home page; - sources may be downloaded from `ftp://kampi.hut.fi/jtv/gnu-pascal/' - (official) or `ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/pub/gnu-pascal/' - (development versions). - - * GUILE - - GUILE 1.2 is released. GNU's Ubiquitous Intelligent Language for - Extension is an SCM-based library that can make any ordinary C program - extensible. (For SCM info, see "JACAL" in *Note GNU Software::.) - Nightly snapshots of the development sources are also available, in - `ftp://ftp.red-bean.com/pub/guile/guile-core-snap.tar.gz'. - - Also being developed are SCSH-compatible system call & Tk interfaces, a - module system, dynamic linking support, & a byte-code interpreter. - Support for Emacs Lisp & a more C-like language is coming. - - * A New FSF T-shirt! - - We have a new T-shirt design. *Note FSF T-shirt::, for the description. - - * New free game - - In August 1995, the action game Abuse by Jonathan Clark was released for - the first time. It wasn't free software then--but now, less than two - years later, the company Crack dot Com has rereleased it as free - software. Abuse was initially developed on Linux-based GNU systems, and - we've included it on our our source CD set. - - Beyond providing the free software community with a game that many - people enjoy, and code that could be useful for developing other free - games, this demonstrates an important fact about the economic - circumstances of computer game development: most non-free games bring - their profit in a very short period of time. Therefore, a game company - can turn a game into free software fairly soon, with little hardship. - - Let's hope that other game developers follow this example. - - - -The Deluxe Distribution -*********************** - -The Free Software Foundation has been asked repeatedly to create a package -that provides executables for all of our software. Normally we offer only -sources. The Deluxe Distribution provides binaries with the source code and -includes six T-shirts, all our CD-ROMs, printed manuals, & reference cards. - -The FSF Deluxe Distribution contains the binaries and sources to hundreds of -different programs including Emacs, the GNU C/C++ Compiler, the GNU Debugger, -the complete X Window System, and all the GNU utilities. - -We will make a Deluxe Distribution for most machines/operating systems. We -may be able to send someone to your office to do the compilation, if we can't -find a suitable machine here. However, we can only compile the programs that -already support your chosen machine/system - porting is a separate matter. -(To commission a port, see the GNU Service Directory; details in *Note Free -Software Support::.) Compiling all these programs takes time; a Deluxe -Distribution for an unusual machine will take longer to produce than one for -a common machine. Please contact the FSF Office with any questions. - -We supply the software on a write-once CD-ROM (in ISO 9660 format with "Rock -Ridge" extensions), or on one of these tapes in Unix `tar' format: 1600 or -6250bpi 1/2in reel, Sun DC300XLP 1/4in cartridge - QIC24, IBM RS/6000 1/4in -c.t. - QIC 150, Exabyte 8mm c.t., or DAT 4mm c.t. If your computer cannot -read any of these, please contact us to see if we can handle your format. - -The manuals included are one each of `Bison', `Calc', `GAWK', `GCC', `GNU C -Library', `GDB', `Flex', `GNU Emacs Lisp Reference', `Programming in Emacs -Lisp: An Introduction', `Make', `Texinfo', & `Termcap' manuals; six copies of -the `GNU Emacs' manual; and ten reference cards each for Emacs, Bison, Calc, -Flex, & GDB. - -Every Deluxe Distribution also has a copy of the latest editions of our -CD-ROMs that have sources of our software & compiler tool binaries for some -systems. The CDs are in ISO 9660 format with Rock Ridge extensions. - -The price of the Deluxe Distribution is $5000 (shipping included). These -sales provide enormous financial assistance to help the FSF develop more free -software. To order, please fill out the "Deluxe Distribution" section on the -*note Free Software Foundation Order Form::. and send it to: - - Free Software Foundation, Inc. - 59 Temple Place - Suite 330 - Boston, MA 02111-1307 - USA - - Telephone: +1-617-542-5942 - Fax (including Japan): +1-617-542-2652 - Electronic Mail: gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu - World Wide Web: http://www.gnu.ai.mit.edu - - - -GNU Documentation -***************** - -GNU is dedicated to having quality, easy-to-use online & printed -documentation. GNU manuals are intended to explain underlying concepts, -describe how to use all the features of each program, & give examples of -command use. GNU manuals are distributed as Texinfo source files, which -yield both typeset hardcopy via the TeX document formatting system and online -hypertext display via the menu-driven Info system. Source for these manuals -comes with our software; here are the manuals that we publish as printed -books. *Note Free Software Foundation Order Form::, to order them. - -Most GNU manuals are bound as soft cover books with "lay-flat" bindings. -This allows you to open them so they lie flat on a table without creasing the -binding. They have an inner cloth spine and an outer cardboard cover that -will not break or crease as an ordinary paperback will. Currently, the -`Using and Porting GNU CC', `GDB', `Emacs', `Emacs Lisp Reference', -`Programming in Emacs Lisp: An Introduction', `GNU Awk User's Guide', `Make', -& `Bison' manuals have this binding. Our other manuals also lie flat when -opened, using a GBC binding. Our manuals are 7in by 9.25in except the 8.5in -by 11in `Calc' manual. - -The edition number of the manual and version number of the program listed -after each manual's name were current at the time this Bulletin was published. - -`Debugging with GDB' (for Version 4.16) tells how to run your program under -GNU Debugger control, examine and alter data, modify a program's flow of -control, and use GDB through GNU Emacs. - -The `GNU Emacs Manual' (13th Edition for Version 20) describes editing with -GNU Emacs. It explains advanced features, including international character -sets; outline mode and regular expression search; how to use special -programming modes to write languages like C++ and TeX; how to use the `tags' -utility; how to compile and correct code; how to make your own keybindings; -and other elementary customizations. - -`Programming in Emacs Lisp: An Introduction' (October 1995 Edition 1.04) is -for people who are not necessarily interested in programming, but who do want -to customize or extend their computing environment. If you read it in Emacs -under Info mode, you can run the sample programs directly. - -`The GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual' (Edition 2.4 for Version 19.29) and -`The GNU Emacs Lisp Reference, Japanese Edition' (Japanese Draft Revision -1.0, from English Edition 2.4 for Version 19.29) cover this programming -language in depth, including data types, control structures, functions, -macros, syntax tables, searching/matching, modes, windows, keymaps, byte -compilation, and the operating system interface. - -`The GNU Awk User's Guide' (Edition 1.0 for Version 3.0) tells how to use -`gawk'. It is written for those who have never used `awk' and describes -features of this powerful string and record manipulation language. It -clearly delineates those features which are part of POSIX `awk' from `gawk' -extensions, providing a comprehensive guide to `awk' program portability. - -`GNU Make' (Edition 0.51 for Version 3.76 Beta) describes GNU `make', a -program used to rebuild parts of other programs. The manual tells how to -write "makefiles", which specify how a program is to be compiled and how its -files depend on each other. Included are an introductory chapter for novice -users and a section about automatically generated dependencies. - -The `Flex' manual (Edition 1.03 for Version 2.3.7) teaches you to write a -lexical scanner definition for the `flex' program to create a C++ or C-coded -scanner that recognizes the patterns defined. You need no prior knowledge of -scanners. - -`The Bison Manual' (November 1995 Edition for Version 1.25) teaches you how -to write context-free grammars for the Bison program that convert into -C-coded parsers. You need no prior knowledge of parser generators. - -`Using and Porting GNU CC' (November 1995 Edition for Version 2.7.2) tells -how to run, install, and port the GNU C Compiler to new systems. It lists -new features and incompatibilities of GCC, but people not familiar with C -will still need a good reference on the C programming language. It also -covers G++. - -The `Texinfo' manual (Edition 2.24 for Version 3) explains the markup -language that produces our online Info documentation & typeset hardcopies. -It tells you how to make tables, lists, chapters, nodes, accented & special -characters, indexes, cross references, & how to catch mistakes. - -`The Termcap Manual' (3rd Edition for Version 1.3), often described as "twice -as much as you ever wanted to know about termcap," details the format of the -termcap database, the definitions of terminal capabilities, and the process -of interrogating a terminal description. This manual is primarily for -programmers. - -The `C Library Reference Manual' (Edition 0.08 for Version 2.0) describes the -library's facilities, including both what Unix calls "library functions" & -"system calls." We are doing small copier runs of this manual until it -becomes more stable. Please send fixes to `bug-glibc-manual@prep.ai.mit.edu'. - -The `Emacs Calc Manual' (for Version 2.02) is both a tutorial and a reference -manual. It tells how to do ordinary arithmetic, how to use Calc for algebra, -calculus, and other forms of mathematics, and how to extend Calc. - - - -GNU Software -************ - -All our software is available via FTP; see *Note How to Get GNU Software::. -We also offer *Note CD-ROMs::, and printed *Note Documentation::, which -includes manuals and reference cards. In the articles describing the -contents of each medium, the version number listed after each program name -was current when we published this Bulletin. When you order a newer CD-ROM, -some of the programs may be newer and therefore the version number higher. -*Note Free Software Foundation Order Form::, for ordering information. - -Some of the contents of our FTP distributions are compressed. We have -software on our FTP sites to uncompress these files. Due to patent troubles -with `compress', we use another compression program, `gzip'. - -You may need to build GNU `make' before you build our other software. Some -vendors supply no `make' utility at all and some native `make' programs lack -the `VPATH' feature essential for using the GNU configure system to its full -extent. The GNU `make' sources have a shell script to build `make' itself on -such systems. - -We welcome all bug reports and enhancements sent to the appropriate -electronic mailing list (*note Free Software Support::.). - - - -Configuring GNU Software ------------------------- - -We are using Autoconf, a uniform scheme for configuring GNU software packages -in order to compile them (see "Autoconf" and "Automake" below, in this -article). The goal is to have all GNU software support the same alternatives -for naming machine and system types. - -Ultimately, it will be possible to configure and build the entire system all -at once, eliminating the need to configure each individual package separately. - -You can also specify both the host and target system to build -cross-compilation tools. Most GNU programs now use Autoconf-generated -configure scripts. - - - -GNU Software Now Available --------------------------- - -For future programs and features, see *Note Forthcoming GNUs::. - -Key to cross reference: - - BinCD January 1997 Binaries CD-ROM - SrcCD July 1997 Source CD-ROMs - -[FSFman] shows that we sell a manual for that package. [FSFrc] shows we sell -a reference card for that package. To order them, *Note Free Software -Foundation Order Form::. *Note Documentation::, for more information on the -manuals. Source code for each manual or reference card is included with each -package. - - * `abuse' *Also *note GNUs Flashes::.* (SrcCD) - - The recently-freed program `abuse' is a dark, side-scrolling game with - Robotron-esque controls: you control your movement with the keyboard and - fire & aim with the mouse. You can get more info at - `http://crack.com/games/abuse'. - - * acct (SrcCD) - - acct is a system accounting package. It includes the programs `ac' - (summarize login accounting), `accton' (turn accounting on or off), - `last' (show who has logged in recently), `lastcomm' (show which - commands have been used), `sa' (summarize process accounting), - `dump-utmp' (print a `utmp' file in human-readable format), & - `dump-acct' (print an `acct' or `pacct' file in human-readable format). - - * `acm' (SrcCD) - - `acm' is a LAN-oriented, multiplayer, aerial combat simulation that runs - under the X Window System. Players engage in air to air combat against - one another using heat seeking missiles and cannons. We are working on - a more accurate simulation of real airplane flight characteristics. - - * aegis (SrcCD) - - Aegis is a transaction-based software configuration management system. - It provides a framework within which a team of developers may work on - many changes to a program concurrently, and Aegis coordinates - integrating these changes back into the master source of the program, - with as little disruption as possible. - - * Apache *Also see* `http://www.apache.org/' (SrcCD) - - Apache is an HTTP server designed as a successor to the NCSA family of - Web servers. It adds a significant amount of new functionality, has an - extensive API for modular enhancements, is extremely flexible without - compromising speed, and has an active development group and user - community. - - * Autoconf (SrcCD) - - Autoconf produces shell scripts which automatically configure source code - packages. These scripts adapt the packages to many kinds of Unix-like - systems without manual user intervention. Autoconf creates a script for - a package from a template file which lists the operating system features - which the package can use, in the form of `m4' macro calls. Autoconf - requires GNU `m4' to operate, but the resulting configure scripts it - generates do not. - - * Automake (SrcCD) - - Automake is a tool for generating `Makefile.in' files for use with - Autoconf. The generated makefiles are compliant with GNU Makefile - standards. - - * BASH (SrcCD) - - GNU's shell, BASH (Bourne Again SHell), is compatible with the Unix `sh' - and offers many extensions found in `csh' and `ksh'. BASH has job - control, `csh'-style command history, command-line editing (with Emacs - and `vi' modes built-in), and the ability to rebind keys via the - `readline' library. BASH conforms to the POSIX 1003.2-1992 standard. - - * bc (SrcCD) - - `bc' is an interactive algebraic language with arbitrary precision - numbers. GNU `bc' follows the POSIX 1003.2-1992 standard with several - extensions, including multi-character variable names, an `else' - statement, and full Boolean expressions. The RPN calculator `dc' is now - distributed as part of the same package, but GNU `bc' is not implemented - as a `dc' preprocessor. - - * BFD (BinCD, SrcCD) - - The Binary File Descriptor library allows a program which operates on - object files (e.g., `ld' or GDB) to support many different formats in a - clean way. BFD provides a portable interface, so that only BFD needs to - know the details of a particular format. One result is that all - programs using BFD will support formats such as a.out, COFF, and ELF. - BFD comes with Texinfo source for a manual (not yet published on paper). - - At present, BFD is not distributed separately; it is included with - packages that use it. - - * Binutils (BinCD, SrcCD) - - Binutils includes these programs: `addr2line', `ar', `c++filt', `gas', - `gprof', `ld', `nm', `objcopy', `objdump', `ranlib', `size', `strings', & - `strip'. - - Binutils version 2 uses the BFD library. The GNU assembler, `gas', - supports the a29k, Alpha, ARM, D10V, H8/300, H8/500, HP-PA, i386, i960, - M32R, m68k, m88k, MIPS, Matsushita 10200 and 10300, NS32K, PowerPC, - RS/6000, SH, SPARC, Tahoe, Vax, and Z8000 CPUs, and attempts to be - compatible with many other assemblers for Unix and embedded systems. It - can produce mixed C and assembly listings, and includes a macro facility - similar to that in some other assemblers. GNU's linker, `ld', supports - shared libraries on many systems, emits source-line numbered error - messages for multiply-defined symbols and undefined references, and - interprets a superset of AT&T's Linker Command Language, which gives - control over where segments are placed in memory. `objdump' can - disassemble code for most of the CPUs listed above, and can display - other data (e.g., symbols and relocations) from any file format read by - BFD. - - * Bison (BinCD, SrcCD) [FSFman, FSFrc] - - Bison is an upwardly compatible replacement for the parser generator - `yacc'. Texinfo source for the `Bison Manual' and reference card are - included. - - * C Library (`glibc') (BinCD, SrcCD) [FSFman] - - The GNU C library supports ISO C-1989, ISO C/amendment 1-1995, POSIX - 1003.1-1990, POSIX 1003.1b-1993, POSIX 1003.1c-1995 (when the underlying - system permits), & most of the functions in POSIX 1003.2-1992. It is - nearly compliant with the extended XPG4.2 specification which guarantees - upward compatibility with 4.4BSD & many System V functions. - - When used with the GNU Hurd, the C Library performs many functions of the - Unix system calls directly. Mike Haertel has written a fast `malloc' - which wastes less memory than the old GNU version. - - GNU `stdio' lets you define new kinds of streams, just by writing a few - C functions. Two methods for handling translated messages help writing - internationalized programs & the user can adopt the environment the - program runs in to conform with local conventions. Extended `getopt' - functions are already used to parse options, including long options, in - many GNU utilities. The name lookup functions now are modularized which - makes it easier to select the service which is needed for the specific - database & the document interface makes it easy to add new services. - Texinfo source for the `GNU C Library Reference Manual' is included - (*note Documentation::.). - - Previous versions of the GNU C library ran on a large number of systems. - The architecture-dependent parts of the C library have not been updated - since development on version 2.0 started, so today it runs out of the - box only on GNU/Hurd (all platforms GNU/Hurd also runs on) & GNU/Linux - (ix86, Alpha, m68k, MIPS, Sparc, PowerPC; work is in progress for ARM). - Other architectures will become available again as soon as somebody does - the port. - - * C++ Library (`libg++') (BinCD, SrcCD) - - The GNU C++ library (traditionally called `libg++') includes libstdc++, - which implements the library facilities defined by the forthcoming ISO - C++ standard. This includes strings, iostream, and various container - classes. All of this is templatized. - - The package also contains the older libg++ library for backward - compatibility, but new programs should avoid using it. - - * Calc (SrcCD) [FSFman, FSFrc] - - Calc (written by Dave Gillespie in Emacs Lisp) is an extensible, advanced - desk calculator & mathematical tool that runs as part of GNU Emacs. You - can use Calc as a simple four-function calculator, but it has many more - features including: choice of algebraic or RPN (stack-based) entry; - logarithmic, trigonometric, & financial functions; arbitrary precision; - complex numbers; vectors; matrices; dates; times; infinities; sets; - algebraic simplification; & differentiation & integration. It outputs - to `gnuplot', & comes with source for a manual & reference card (*note - Documentation::.). - - * `cfengine' (SrcCD) - - `cfengine' is used to maintain site-wide configuration of a - heterogeneous Unix network using a simple high level language. Its - appearance is similar to `rdist', but allows many more operations to be - performed automatically. See Mark Burgess, "A Site Configuration - Engine", `Computing Systems', Vol. 8, No. 3 (ask `office@usenix.org' how - to get a copy). - - * Chess (SrcCD) - - GNU Chess enables you to play a game of chess with a computer instead of - a person. It is useful to practice with when there are significant - spare cpu cycles and a real person is unavailable. - - The program offers a plain terminal interface, one using curses, and a - reasonable X Windows interface `xboard'. Best results are obtained by - compiling with GNU C. - - Improvements this past year are in the Windows-compatible version, - mostly bugfixes. - - Stuart Cracraft started the GNU mascot back in the mid-1980's. John - Stanback (and innumerable contributors) are responsible for GNU's brain - development and its fair play. Acknowledgements for the past year's - work are due Conor McCarthy. - - Send bugs to `bug-gnu-chess@prep.ai.mit.edu' & general comments to - `info-gnu-chess@prep.ai.mit.edu'. Visit the author's Web site at - `http://www.earthlink.net/~cracraft/index.html'. Play GNU Chess on the - Web at `http://www.delorie.com/game-room/chess'. - - * CLISP (SrcCD) - - CLISP is a Common Lisp implementation by Bruno Haible & Michael Stoll. - It mostly supports the Lisp described by `Common LISP: The Language (2nd - edition)' & the ANSI Common Lisp standard. CLISP includes an - interpreter, a byte-compiler, a large subset of CLOS & a foreign language - interface. The user interface language (English, German, French) can be - chosen at run time. An X11 API is available through CLX & Garnet. - CLISP needs only 2 MB of memory & runs on all kinds of Unix systems & on - many microcomputers (including MS-DOS systems, OS/2, Windows NT, Windows - 95, Amiga 500-4000, & Acorn RISC PC). See also item "Common Lisp", - which describes GCL, a complete Common Lisp implementation with compiler. - - * CLX (SrcCD) - - CLX is an X Window interface library for GCL. This is separate from the - built-in TK interface. - - * Common Lisp (`gcl') (SrcCD) - - GNU Common Lisp (GCL, formerly known as Kyoto Common Lisp) is a compiler - & interpreter for Common Lisp. GCL is very portable & extremely - efficient on a wide class of applications, & compares favorably in - performance with commercial Lisps on several large theorem-prover & - symbolic algebra systems. GCL supports the CLtL1 specification but is - moving towards the proposed ANSI standard. - - GCL compiles to C & then uses the native optimizing C compiler (e.g., - GCC). A function with a fixed number of args & one value turns into a C - function of the same number of args, returning one value--so GCL is - maximally efficient on such calls. Its conservative garbage collector - gives great freedom to the C compiler to put Lisp values in registers. - It has a source level Lisp debugger for interpreted code & displays - source code in an Emacs window. Its profiler (based on the C profiling - tools) counts function calls & the time spent in each function. - - There is now a built-in interface to the Tk widget system. It runs in a - separate process, so users may monitor progress on Lisp computations or - interact with running computations via a windowing interface. - - There is also an Xlib interface via C (xgcl-2). CLX runs with GCL, as - does PCL (see "PCL" later in this article). - - GCL version 2.2.2 is released under the GNU Library General Public - License. - - * cook (SrcCD) - - Cook is a tool for constructing files, and maintaining referential - integrity between files. It is given a set of files to create, and - recipes of how to create and maintain them. In any non-trivial program - there will be prerequisites to performing the actions necessary to - creating any file, such as include files. The `cook' program provides a - mechanism to define these. - - Some features which distinguish Cook include a strong procedural - description language, and fingerprints to supplement file modification - time stamps. There is also a `make2cook' utility included to ease - transition. - - * `cpio' (SrcCD) - - `cpio' is an archive program with all the features of SVR4 `cpio', - including support for the final POSIX 1003.1 `ustar' standard. `mt', a - program to position magnetic tapes, is included with `cpio'. - - * CVS (SrcCD) - - CVS is a version control system (like RCS or SCCS) which allows you to - keep old versions of files (usually source code), keep a log of who, - when, and why changes occurred, etc. It handles multiple developers, - multiple directories, triggers to enable/log/control various operations, - and can work over a wide area network. It does not handle build - management or bug-tracking; these are handled by `make' and GNATS, - respectively. - - * `cxref' (SrcCD) - - `cxref' is a program that will produce documentation (in LaTeX or HTML) - including cross-references from C program source code. It has been - designed to work with ANSI C, incorporating K&R, and most popular GNU - extensions. The documentation for the subject program is produced from - comments in the code that are appropriately formatted. The cross - referencing comes from the code itself and requires no extra work. - - * DDD (SrcCD) - - The Data Display Debugger (DDD) is a common graphical user interface to - GDB, DBX, and XDB, the popular Unix debuggers. DDD provides a graphical - data display where complex data structures can be explored incrementally - and interactively. DDD has been designed to compete with well-known - commercial debuggers; as of release 2.1.1, DDD also compiles and runs - with LessTif, a free Motif clone, without loss of functionality. For - more details, see the DDD WWW page at - `http://www.cs.tu-bs.de/softech/ddd/'. - - * DejaGnu (SrcCD) - - DejaGnu is a framework to test programs with a single front end for all - tests. DejaGnu's flexibility & consistency makes it easy to write tests. - DejaGnu will also work with remote hosts and embedded systems. - - DejaGnu comes with `expect', which runs scripts to conduct dialogs with - programs. - - * Diffutils (SrcCD) - - GNU `diff' compares files showing line-by-line changes in several - flexible formats. It is much faster than traditional Unix versions. The - Diffutils package has `diff', `diff3', `sdiff', & `cmp'. Future plans - include support for internationalization (e.g., error messages in - Chinese) & some non-Unix PC environments, & a library interface that can - be used by other free software. - - * DJGPP *Also see "GCC" below* (BinCD) - - DJ Delorie has ported GCC/G++ to i386s running DOS. DJGPP has a 32-bit - i386 DOS extender with a symbolic debugger, development libraries, & - ports of Bison, `flex', & Binutils. Full source code is provided. It - needs at least 5MB of hard disk space to install & 512K of RAM to use. - It supports SVGA (up to 1024x768), XMS & VDISK memory allocation, - `himem.sys', VCPI (e.g., QEMM, DESQview, & 386MAX), & DPMI (e.g., - Windows 3.x, OS/2, QEMM, & QDPMI). Version 2 was released in Feb. 1996, - & needs a DPMI environment; a free DPMI server is included. - - WWW at `http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/' or FTP from `ftp.simtel.net' in - `/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/' (or a SimTel mirror site). - - Ask `listserv@delorie.com', to join a DJGPP users mailing list. - - * `dld' (SrcCD) - - `dld' is a dynamic linker written by W. Wilson Ho. Linking your program - with the `dld' library allows you to dynamically load object files into - the running binary. `dld' supports a.out object types on the following - platforms: Convex C-Series (BSD), i386/i486/Pentium (GNU/Linux), Sequent - Symmetry i386 (Dynix 3), Sun-3 (SunOS 3 & 4), Sun-4 (SunOS 4), & VAX - (Ultrix). - - * `doschk' (SrcCD) - - This program is a utility to help software developers ensure that their - source file names are distinguishable on System V platforms with - 14-character filenames and on MS-DOS systems with 8+3 character - filenames. - - * `ed' (SrcCD) - - `ed' is the standard text editor. It is line-oriented and can be used - interactively or in scripts. - - * Elib (SrcCD) - - Elib is a small library of Emacs Lisp functions, including routines for - using AVL trees and doubly-linked lists. - - * Elisp archive (SrcCD) - - This is a snapshot of Ohio State's GNU Emacs Lisp FTP Archive.

GNU Emacs - is his second implementation. It offers true Lisp--smoothly integrated - into the editor--for writing extensions & provides an interface to the X - Window System. It runs on Unix, MS-DOS, & Windows NT or 95. In - addition to its powerful native command set, Emacs can emulate the - editors vi & EDT (DEC's VMS editor). Emacs has many other features which - make it a full computing support environment. Source for the `GNU Emacs - Manual' & a reference card comes with the software. Sources for the - `GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual', & `Programming in Emacs Lisp: An - Introduction' are distributed in separate packages. *Note - Documentation::. - - * Emacs 20 (SrcCD) [FSFman(s), FSFrc] - - Emacs 20.1 was just released recently. Its main new features include - support for many languages and many character codes (the MULE facility) - and a new convenient customization feature. The text-filling commands - handle indented and bulleted paragraphs conveniently; there are new help - facilities for looking up documentation about functions and symbols in - various languages. A new method of file-locking works even when using - NFS. Some dired commands have been made more systematic. - - We believe Emacs 20 operates on the same systems as Emacs 19, but we do - not have confirmation for all of them. - - * Emacs 19 (SrcCD) [FSFman(s), FSFrc] - - Emacs 19 works with character-only terminals & with the X Window System - (with or without an X toolkit). It also runs on MS-DOS, MS Windows, and - with multiple-window support on MS Windows 95/NT. - - Emacs 19 works on: Acorn RISC (RISCiX); Alliant FX/2800 (BSD); Alpha - (OSF/1 or GNU/Linux); Apollo (DomainOS); Bull DPX/2 2nn & 3nn (SysV.3) & - sps7 (SysV.2); Clipper; Convex (BSD); Cubix QBx (SysV); Data General - Aviion (DGUX); DEC MIPS (Ultrix 4.2, OSF/1, not VMS); Elxsi 6400 (SysV); - Gould Power Node & NP1 (4.2 & 4.3BSD); Harris Night Hawk 1200, 3000, - 4000 & 5000 (cxux); Harris Night Hawk Power PC (powerunix); Honeywell - XPS100 (SysV); HP 9000 series 200, 300, 700, 800 (but not 500) (4.3BSD; - HP-UX 7, 8, 9; NextStep); Intel i386/i486/Pentium (GNU/Hurd, GNU/Linux, - 386BSD, AIX, BSDI/386, FreeBSD, Esix, ISC, MS-DOS, NetBSD, SCO3.2v4, - Solaris, SysV, Xenix, WindowsNT, Windows95); IBM RS/6000 (AIX 3.2) & - RT/PC (AIX, BSD); Motorola Delta 147 & 187 (SysV.3, SysV.4, m88kbcs); - National Semiconductor 32K (Genix); NeXT (BSD, Mach 2 w/ NeXTStep 3.0); - Paragon (OSF/1); Prime EXL (SysV); Pyramid (BSD); Sequent Symmetry (BSD, - ptx); Siemens RM400 & RM600 (SysV); SGI Iris 4D (Irix 4.x & 5.x); Sony - News/RISC (NewsOS); Stardent i860 (SysV); Sun 3 & 4, SPARC 1, 1+, 2, 10, - Classic (SunOS 4.0, 4.1, Solaris 2.0-2.3); Tadpole 68k (SysV); Tektronix - XD88 (SysV.3) & 4300 (BSD); & Titan P2 & P3 (SysV). - - * Emacs 18 (SrcCD) [FSFrc] - - Emacs 18 is several years old. We no longer maintain it, but still - distribute it for those using platforms which Emacs 19 does not support. - - * `enscript' (SrcCD) - - `enscript' is an upwardly-compatible replacement for the Adobe - `enscript' program. It formats ASCII files (outputting in Postscript) - and stores generated output to a file or sends it directly to the - printer. - - * `es' (SrcCD) - - `es' is an extensible shell (based on `rc') with first-class functions, - lexical scope, exceptions, and rich return values (i.e., functions can - return values other than just numbers). `es''s extensibility comes from - the ability to modify and extend the shell's built-in services, such as - path searching and redirection. Like `rc', it is great for both - interactive use and scripting, particularly since its quoting rules are - much less baroque than the C and Bourne shells. - - * Exim (SrcCD) - - Exim is a new Internet mail transfer agent, similar in style to Smail 3. - It can handle relatively high volume mail systems, header rewriting, - control over which hosts/nets may use it as a relay, blocking of - unwanted mail from specified hosts/nets/senders, and multiple local - domains on one mail host ("virtual domains") with several options for - the way these are handled. - - * `f2c' *Also see "Fortran" below & in *Note Forthcoming GNUs::.* - (SrcCD) - - `f2c' converts Fortran-77 source into C or C++, which can be compiled - with GCC or G++. Get bug fixes by FTP from site `netlib.bell-labs.com' - or by email from `netlib@netlib.bell-labs.com'. For a summary, see the - file `/netlib/f2c/readme.gz'. - - * `ffcall' (SrcCD) - - `ffcall' is a C library for implementing foreign function calls in - embedded interpreters by Bill Triggs and Bruno Haible.

For sites with - many hosts, a single host may be designated as the finger "server" host - and other hosts at that site configured as finger "clients". The server - host collects information about who is logged in on the clients. To - finger a user at a GNU Finger site, a query to any of its client hosts - gets useful information. GNU Finger supports many customization - features, including user output filters and site-programmable output for - special target names. - - * `flex' (BinCD, SrcCD) [FSFman, FSFrc] - - `flex' is a replacement for the `lex' scanner generator. `flex' was - written by Vern Paxson of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and generates - far more efficient scanners than `lex' does.

It also provides several useful extensions not found in other - `awk' implementations. Texinfo source for the `The GNU Awk User's - Guide' comes with the software (*note Documentation::.). - - * `gcal' (SrcCD) - - `gcal' is a program for printing calendars. It displays different - styled calendar sheets, eternal holiday lists, and fixed date warning - lists. - - * GCC (BinCD, SrcCD) [FSFman] - - Version 2 of the GNU C Compiler supports the languages C, C++, and - Objective-C; the source file name suffix or a compiler option selects - the language. (Also see "GNAT" later in this article for Ada language - supports.) Objective-C support was donated by NeXT. The runtime support - needed to run Objective-C programs is now distributed with GCC. (This - does not include any Objective-C classes aside from `object', but see - "GNUstep" in *Note Forthcoming GNUs::.) G++ seeks to be compliant with - the ANSI C++ language standard. See - `http://www.cygnus.com/misc/wp/index.html' for the latest draft. - - GCC is a fairly portable optimizing compiler which performs many - optimizations.

It supports extended floating point (type `long double') on the - 68k; other machines will follow. GCC supports full ANSI C, traditional - C, & GNU C extensions (including: nested functions support, nonlocal - gotos, & taking the address of a label). - - GCC can generate a.out, COFF, ELF, & OSF-Rose files when used with a - suitable assembler. It can produce debugging information in these - formats: BSD stabs, COFF, ECOFF, ECOFF with stabs, & DWARF. - - GCC generates code for many CPUs, including the a29k, Alpha, ARM, AT&T, - DSP1610, Clipper, Convex cN, Elxsi, Fujitsu Gmicro, i370, i860, i960, - MIL-STD-1750a, MIPS, ns32k, PDP-11, Pyramid, ROMP, RS/6000, SH, SPUR, - Tahoe, VAX, & we32k. - - Position-independent code is generated for the Clipper, Hitachi H8/300, - HP-PA (1.0 & 1.1), i386/i486/Pentium, m68k, m88k, SPARC, & SPARClite. - - Operating systems supported include: GNU/Hurd, GNU/Linux, ACIS, AIX, AOS, - BSD, Clix, Concentrix, Ctix, DG/UX, Dynix, FreeBSD, Genix, HP-UX, Irix, - ISC, Luna, LynxOS, Minix, NetBSD, NewsOS, NeXTStep, OS/2, OSF, OSF-Rose, - RISCOS, SCO, Solaris 2, SunOS 4, System/370, SysV, Ultrix, Unos, VMS, & - Windows/NT. - - Using the configuration scheme for GCC, building a cross-compiler is as - easy as building a native compiler. - - Texinfo source for the `Using and Porting GNU CC' manual is included - with GCC (*note Documentation::.). - - * GDB (BinCD, SrcCD) [FSFman, FSFrc] - - GDB, the GNU DeBugger, is a source-level debugger for C, C++, & Fortran. - It provides partial support for Modula-2 & Chill. - - GDB can debug both C & C++, & will work with executables made by many - different compilers; but, C++ debugging will have some limitations if - you do not use GCC. - - GDB has a command line user interface, and Emacs has GDB mode as an - interface. Two X interfaces (not distributed or maintained by the FSF) - are: `gdbtk' (FTP it from `ftp.cygnus.com' in directory `/pub/gdb'); and - `xxgdb' (FTP it from `ftp.x.org' in directory `/contrib/utilities'). - - Executable files and symbol tables are read via the BFD library, which - allows a single copy of GDB to debug programs with multiple object file - formats (e.g., a.out, COFF, ELF). Other features include a rich command - language, remote debugging over serial lines or TCP/IP, and watchpoints - (breakpoints triggered when the value of an expression changes). - - GDB uses a standard remote interface to a simulator library which - includes simulators for the ARM, Hitachi H8/300, Hitachi SH, & PowerPC. - - GDB can perform cross-debugging. To say that GDB "targets" a platform - means it can perform native or cross-debugging for it. To say that GDB - can "host" a given platform means that it can be built on it, but cannot - necessarily debug native programs. - - GDB can: - - * "target" & "host": Amiga 3000 (AmigaOS, Amix, NetBSD), DEC Alpha - (OSF/1), DECstation 3100 & 5000 (Ultrix), HP 9000/300 (BSD, HP-UX), - HP 9000/700 (HP-UX 9, 10), i386/i486/Pentium (GNU/Hurd, GNU/Linux, - BSD, FreeBSD, LynxOS, NetBSD, SCO, Windows NT), IBM RS/6000 (AIX - 3.x, AIX 4.x, LynxOS), Motorola Delta m88k (System V, CX/UX), - Motorola m68k MVME-167 (LynxOS), NCR 3000 (SVR4), PC532 (NetBSD), - PowerPC (AIX 4.x, MacOS, Windows NT), SGI (Irix V3, V4, V5), SONY - News (NewsOS 3.x), SPARC (LynxOS, NetBSD, Solaris 2.x, & SunOS 4.1), - & Sun-3 (SunOS 4.1). - - * "target", but not "host": AMD 29000, ARM (RDP), Fujitsu SPARClite, - Hitachi H8/300, Hitachi SH (CMON, SH3, E7000), HP PA Pro (Winbond, - Oki), i960 (MON960, Nindy, VxWorks), m68k/m68332 (CPU32BUG, EST, - ROM68K, VxWorks), Matra Sparclet, MIPS (IDT, PMON, VxWorks), - PowerPC (PPCBug), & Z8000. - - * "host", but not "target": HP/Apollo 68k (BSD), IBM RT/PC (AIX), & - m68k Apple Macintosh (MacOS).

On some systems it also reports memory usage, page - faults, etc. - - * `ucblogo' (SrcCD) - - `ucblogo' implements the classic teaching language, Logo. - - * `units' - - GNU `units' converts between different units of measurement, such as - miles/gallon to km/liter. (It can only handle multiplicative scale - changes, so it cannot convert Celsius to Fahrenheit though it could - convert temperature differences between those temperatures scales.) - - * UUCP (SrcCD) - - GNU's UUCP system (written by Ian Lance Taylor) supports the `f', `g' - (all window & packet sizes), `v', `G', `t', `e', Zmodem, & two new - bidirectional (`i' & `j') protocols. With a BSD sockets library, it can - make TCP connections. With TLI libraries, it can make TLI connections. - Source is included for a manual (not yet published by the FSF). - - * vera (SrcCD) - - VERA (Virtual Entity of Relevant Acronyms) is a document listing - thousands of acronyms of the computer field. - - * viewfax (SrcCD) - - Viewfax is a tool for displaying fax files on an X display. It can - display raw, digifax or tiff/f files, such as those received by HylaFAX. - - * W3 (SrcCD) - - W3 (written by William Perry in Emacs Lisp) is an extensible, advanced - World Wide Web browser that runs as part of Emacs. It supports all the - bells and whistles you find on the Web today, including frames, tables, - stylesheets, and much more. See - `http://www.cs.indiana.edu/elisp/w3/docs.html'. - - * `wdiff' (SrcCD) - - `wdiff' is a front-end to GNU `diff'. It compares two files, finding - the words deleted or added to the first to make the second. It has many - output formats and works well with terminals and pagers. `wdiff' is - very useful when two texts differ only by a few words and paragraphs - have been refilled. Plans are to merge this package into `diffutils'. - - * `Wget' (SrcCD) - - `Wget' non-interactively retrieves files from the WWW using HTTP & FTP. - It is suitable for use in shell scripts. - - * `windows32api' (SrcCD) - - `windows32' is a set of header files & import libraries that can be used - by GNU tools for compiling & linking programs to be run on Windows NT/95. - - * WN (SrcCD) - - WN is a World Wide Web server designed to be secure and flexible. It - offers many different capabilities in pre-parsing files before passing - them to the client, and has a very different design from Apache and the - NCSA server. - - * X11 (SrcCD) - - We distribute Version 11, Release 6.3 of the X Window System with the - latest patches & bug fixes. X11 includes all of the core software, - documentation, contributed clients, libraries, & toolkits, games, etc. - - While supplies last, we will distribute X11R5 on the November 1993 - Source Code CD-ROM. - - * `xboard' (SrcCD) - - `xboard' is a graphical chessboard for X Windows. It can serve as a - user interface to the Crafty or GNU chess programs, the Internet Chess - Servers, e-mail correspondence chess, or games saved in Portable Game - Notation. - - * `xgrabsc' (SrcCD) - - `xgrabsc' is a screen capture program similar to `xwd' but with a - graphical user interface, more ways of selecting the part of the screen - to capture, & different types of output: Postscript, color Postscript, - xwd, bitmap, pixmap, & puzzle. - - * `xinfo' (SrcCD) - - `xinfo' is an X-windows program for reading Info files. It uses a - special widget, which is available for use in other programs. - - * xmcd *Also see* `http://sunsite.unc.edu/~cddb/xmcd/' (SrcCD) - - `xmcd' is an X11-based CD player utility and `cda' is a command-line - driven, non-graphical CD audio player. `xmcd' is developed to use the - OSF/Motif API (version 1.1 and later) and can also be used with LessTif, - the free Motif clone. - - In its evolution over the past few years, `xmcd' has established itself - as the premier CD player application for the X window system with an - attractive, easy-to-use user interface. It is feature-rich and runs on - virtually all of the popular Unix and OpenVMS platforms. It also - supports the widest array of CD-ROM and CD-R devices, including some - older SCSI-1 drives that do not work with other CD player applications. - The remote CD database query feature fully utilizes the Internet and - taps on a vast repository of CD artists/titles, track titles and other - information. Multi-disc changers are also supported. - - Like many other CD player applications, `xmcd' supports a CD database of - disc and track titles and other information. A distinguishing feature - of `xmcd' is the ability to connect to a remote CD database server to - query this information. Many public Internet CD database servers have - been established around the world for this purpose, and `xmcd' also - allows the user to submit new CD entries to the master database. - - * `xshogi' (SrcCD) - - `xshogi' is a graphical Shogi (Japanese Chess) board for the X Window - System. It can serve as a user interface to GNU Shogi, as a referee for - games between two humans, or as a client for the Internet Shogi Server. - - * `Ygl' (SrcCD) - - `Ygl' emulates a subset of SGI's GL (Graphics Language) library under - X11 on most platforms with an ANSI C compiler (including GCC). It has - most two-dimensional graphics routines, the queue device & query - routines, double buffering, RGB mode with dithering, Fortran bindings, - etc. - - * zlibc (SrcCD) - - Zlibc is an uncompressing C library for GNU/Linux and SunOS systems. It - is a preloadable shared object that allows executables to uncompress the - datafiles that they need on the fly. No kernel patch, no recompilation - of these executables and no recompilation of the libraries is needed; - the package overrides the `open' function (and other system call - functions) in the shared library. - - - -Program/Package Cross Reference -******************************* - -Here is a list of the package each GNU program or library is in.

- - - - - -CD-ROMs -******* - -We have two series of CD-ROMs: the Source Code CD-ROM, and the Compiler -Tools Binaries CD-ROM. - -Our CDs are in ISO 9660 format & can be mounted as a read-only file system on -most computers. If your driver supports it, you can mount each CD with "Rock -Ridge" extensions & it will look like a regular Unix file system, rather than -one full of truncated & otherwise mangled names that fit vanilla ISO 9660. - -You can build most of the software without copying the sources off the CD. -You only need enough disk space for object files and intermediate build -targets. - - - -Pricing of the GNU CD-ROMs --------------------------- - -If a business or organization is ultimately paying, the current GNU Source -CD set costs $240. The set costs $60 if you, an individual, are paying out -of your own pocket. The current Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM costs $220 -for a business or organization, and $55 for an individual. - - - -What Do the Different Prices Mean? -.................................. - -The software on our disks is free; anyone can copy it and anyone can run it. -What we charge for is the physical disk and the service of distribution. - -We charge two different prices depending on who is buying. When a company -or other organization buys the Source CD-ROMs, we charge $240. When an -individual buys the same CD-ROMs, we charge just $60. This distinction is -not a matter of who is allowed to use the software. In either case, once -you have a copy, you can distribute as many copies as you wish and there's -no restriction on who can have or run them. The price distinction is -entirely a matter of what kind of entity pays for the CDs. - -You, the reader, are certainly an individual, not a company. If you are -buying a disk "in person", then you are probably doing so as an individual. -But if you expect to be reimbursed by your employer, then the disk is really -for the company; so please pay the company price and get reimbursed for it. -We won't try to check up on you--we use the honor system--so please cooperate. - -Buying CDs at the company price is very helpful for GNU; just -150 Source CDs at that price support an FSF programmer or tech writer for a -year. - - - -Why Is There an Individual Price? -................................. - -In the past, our distribution tapes were ordered mainly by companies. The CD -at the price of $240 provides them with all of our software for a much lower -price than they would previously have paid for six different tapes. To lower -the price more would cut into the FSF's funds very badly and decrease the -software development we can do. - -However, for individuals, $240 is too high a price; hardly anyone could -afford that. So we decided to make CDs available to individuals at the lower -price of $60. - - - -Is There a Maximum Price? -......................... - -Our stated prices are minimum prices. Feel free to pay a higher price if you -wish to support GNU development more. The sky's the limit; we will accept as -high a price as you can offer. Or simply give a donation (tax-deductible in -the U.S.) to the Free Software Foundation, a tax-exempt public charity. - - - -January 1997 Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM -------------------------------------------- - -In January 1997 we released the fourth edition of our CD-ROM that has -binaries and complete sources for GNU compiler tools for some systems which -lack a compiler. This enables the people who use these systems to compile -GNU and other free software without having to buy a proprietary compiler. -You can also use these GNU tools to compile your own C/C++/Objective-C -programs. Older editions of this CD are available while supplies last at a -reduced price; *Note Free Software Foundation Order Form::. - -We hope to have more systems on each update of this CD. If you can help -build binaries for new systems (especially those that don't come with a C -compiler), or have one to suggest, please contact us at the addresses on page -1. - -These packages: - - * DJGPP - * GCC/G++/Objective-C - * GNU C Library - * GDB - * Binutils - * Bison - * Emacs (MS-DOS only) - * Flex - * Make - * libg++ - -On these platforms: - - * `i386-msdos' - * `hppa1.1-hp-hpux9' - * `hppa1.1-hp-hpux10' - * `powerpc-ibm-aix4.2' - * `sparc-sun-solaris2.4' - * `sparc-sun-solaris2.5' - * `sparc-sun-sunos4.1' - - - -Source Code CD-ROMs -------------------- - -We have several versions of our Source Code CD-ROMs available, including: - - * July 1997 Source Code CD-ROMs, the newest release, has programs, - bug fixes, & improvements. See below. - - * January 1997 Source Code CD-ROMs. - - * July 1996 Source Code CD-ROMss. - - * December 1995 Source Code CD-ROMs. - - * June 1995 Source Code CD-ROM. - - * May 1994 Source Code CD-ROM. - - * November 1993 Source Code CD-ROM. - - * May 1993 Source Code CD-ROM. - - * October 1992 Source Code CD-ROM. - -The older Source CDs are available while supplies last at a reduced price -(please note that the December 1994 Source CD is permanently out of stock). -All the Source CDs have Texinfo source for the GNU manuals listed in *Note -Documentation::. - -Much of X11 is *not* on the older Source CDs which are just one CD -instead of two. - -There are no precompiled programs on these Source CDs. You will need a C -compiler (programs which need some other interpreter or compiler normally -provide the C source for a bootstrapping program). We ship C compiler -binaries for some systems on the *Note Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM::. - - - -July 1997 Source Code CD-ROMs -............................. - -The 10th edition of our Source Code CD is available now with two CD-ROM disks. -It has programs, bug fixes, & improvements not on the older Source CDs. It -has these packages, & some manuals that are not part of packages. The -version number of each package listed might be higher on the 10th edition CD -due to new releases being made since this list was generated. - - - * abuse 2.0 - * acct 6.3 - * acm 4.8 - * aegis 2.3 - * apache 1.2.4 - * Autoconf 2.12 - * Automake 1.2 - * BASH 2.01 - * bc 1.04 - * Binutils 2.8.1 - * Bison 1.25 - * C Library 2.0.5 - * Calc 2.02f - * cfengine 1.4.1 - * Chess 4.0.pl77 - * CLISP 1997.08.07 - * Common Lisp 2.2.2 - * cook 1.10 - * cperf 2.1a - * cpio 2.4.2 - * CVS 1.9 - * cxref 1.4 - * ddd 2.1.1 - * DejaGnu 1.3 - * Diffutils 2.7 - * dld 3.3 - * doschk 1.1 - * ed 0.2 - * Elib 1.0 - * elisp archive 1997.08.19 - * Emacs 18.59 - * Emacs 19.34 - * Emacs 20.1 - * enscript 1.5.0 - * es 0.84 - * Exim 1.70 - * f2c 1997.07.13 - * ffcall 1.1 - * Fileutils 3.16 - * Findutils 4.1 - * Finger 1.37 - * flex 2.5.4 - * Fontutils 0.6 - * g77 0.5.19.1 - * gawk 3.0.3 - * gcal 2.10 - * GCC/G++/Objective-C 2.7.2.3 - * GDB 4.16 - * gdbm 1.7.3 - * Generic NQS 3.50.2 - * geomview 1.6.1 - * gettext 0.10 - * gforth 0.3.0 - * Ghostscript 3.33 - * Ghostview 1.5 - * Ghostview for Windows 2.1 - * GIT 4.3.16 - * gmp 2.0.2 - * GN 2.24 - * Gnans 1.5.1 - * gnat 3.09 - * GNATS 3.2 - * GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual 1.03 - * GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual 2.4.2 - * GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual 2.4.jp2.0 - * GnuGo 1.2 - * gnuplot 3.5 - * gnuserv 2.1alpha - * gnussl 0.2.1 - * gpc 2.0 - * grep 2.0 - * Groff 1.11 - * guavac 0.3.1 - * guile 1.2 - * gzip 1.2.4 - * hello 1.3 - * hp2xx 3.1.4 - * HylaFAX 4.0pl1 - * Hyperbole 4.01 - * ID Utils 3.2 - * ilisp 5.8.a04 - * indent 1.9.1 - * Inetutils 1.3a - * Ispell 3.1.20 - * jargon 4.0.0 - * karma 1.6 - * less 332 - * LessTif 0.80 - * libg++ 2.7.2 - * libobjects 0.1.19 - * libtool 1.0 - * lynx 2.7.1 - * m4 1.4 - * make 3.75 - * MandelSpawn 0.07 - * maxima 5.2 - * mc 4.0 - * MCSim 4.1 - * mesa 2.1 - * <Meta-HTML> 5.04 - * miscfiles 1.1 - * mkisofs 1.11 - * mm 1.07 - * mtools 3.8 - * MULE 2.3 - * mutt 0.81 - * NetHack 3.2.2 - * NIHCL 3.1.4 - * nvi 1.79 - * Oaklisp 930720 - * OBST 3.4.3 - * Octave 2.0.9 - * Oleo 1.6 - * p2c 1.20 - * patch 2.5 - * pcl-gcl 2.2 - * perl 4.036 - * perl 5.003 - * phttpd 0.99.76 - * pips 1.01 - * plotutils 1.1 - * prcs 1.2 - * Programming in Emacs Lisp an Introduction 1.04 - * ptx 0.4 - * rc 1.4 - * RCS 5.7 - * readline 2.1 - * recode 3.4 - * regex 0.12 - * Roxen 1.1 - * rsync 1.6.3 - * rx 1.5 - * SAOimage 1.20 - * screen 3.7.4 - * sed 2.05 - * Sharutils 4.2 - * Shellutils 1.16 - * Shogi 1.2p03 - * SIPP 3.1 - * smail 3.2 - * Smalltalk 1.1.5 - * sneps 2.3.1 - * spell 1.0 - * stow 1.3.2 - * Superopt 2.5 - * swarm 1.0.2 - * tar 1.12 - * Termcap 1.3 - * Termutils 2.0 - * TeX 3.1415 - * Texinfo 3.11 - * Textutils 1.22 - * tiff 3.4 - * Tile Forth 2.1 - * time 1.7 - * ucblogo 4.1 - * units 1.53 - * UUCP 1.06.1 - * vera 1.0 - * vrweb 1.5 - * W3 2.2.26 - * wdiff 0.5 - * wget 1.4.5 - * windows32api 0.1.2 - * WN 1.18.1 - * X11R6.3 - * xboard 3.6.2 - * xgrabsc 2.41 - * xinfo 1.01.01 - * xmcd 2.2 - * xshogi 1.2p03 - * Ygl 3.1 - * zlibc 0.9e - - - -January 1997 Source Code CD-ROMs -................................ - -We still have copies of the 9th edition of our Source CD with two CD-ROM -disks.
