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. + +* Updates + +If you find this file in the Emacs distribution, there is a chance it +is out of date. If you plan to FTP files from a GNU FTP host, you +might as well start by FTPing the current version of this file, which +is `/pub/gnu/GNUinfo/FTP'. + +* How to FTP + +Use the ftp program on your system (ask locally if you can't find it) +to connect to the host you are ftping from. 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). + +* FTPing GNU Software + +** How to FTP GNU Emacs + +If you are on the Internet (see also "** Alternative Internet FTP +Sources" below), you can at present copy the latest distribution +version of GNU Emacs from the file /pub/gnu/emacs-M.N.tar on host +prep.ai.mit.edu (or the file /pub/gnu/emacs-M.N.tar.gz which has been +run through gzip after tar). M and N stand for version numbers; look +at a listing of the directory through ftp to see what version is +available. These files are about 11 and 4 megabytes long, +respectively. After you unpack the distribution, be sure to look at +the files README and INSTALL. + +Because of difficulties in transferring large files, sometimes a split +version of the tar file is created. This would be in a directory +named /pub/gnu/emacs-M.N.tar-split or perhaps +/pub/gnu/emacs-M.N.tar.gz-split, containing files of 100000 characters +each. There is generally no trouble in ftping files of this size. +They can be combined with cat to make a tar file or compressed tar +file. If you can't find such files on prep.ai.mit.edu, have a look at +archive.cis.ohio-state.edu. + +ALWAYS USE BINARY/IMAGE MODE TO TRANSFER THESE FILES! +Text mode does not work for tar files or compressed files. + +Some ftp'ers have found it necessary for successful file transfer: + - to explicitly use prep.ai.mit.edu internet address: +18.159.0.42 (as of 18 June 95) + +Files of differences from previous widely distributed GNU Emacs +versions to the present version are also available on prep.ai.mit.edu +under names of the form emacs.diff-OO.OO-NN.NN in directory /pub/gnu. +These are made with diff -rc2. Sometimes there are versions +compressed with gzip of these difference files as well; their names +have .gz appended. + +The Emacs manual in source form is included in the distribution. The +dvi file produced by TeX is not included, but a copy may be available +for ftp under the name /pub/gnu/emacs.dvi. + +The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is in a separate file: + /pub/gnu/elisp-manual-NN.tar.gz + +** VMS FTP sites with GNU Software +You can anonymously ftp a VMS version of GNU emacs from: + - ftp.stacken.kth.se:[.GNU-VMS] - GNU Emacs and some other VMS +ports (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. + - addvax.llnl.gov - GNU Emacs + - VMSD.OAC.UCI.EDU - GNU Emacs + - RIGEL.EFD.LTH.SE [130.235.48.3] - GNU Emacs + - ctrsci.cc.utah.edu - GNU Emacs - The 00readme.txt file gives details + - cc.utah.edu [128.110.8.24] - misc. GNU software - user +anonymous, pass guest. The 00README.txt file gives details. + +** Other GNU Software and How To FTP It + +Other GNU software is available on prep.ai.mit.edu under directory +/pub/gnu. diff files to convert between versions (like those used for +GNU Emacs), exist for some of these programs. Some programs have misc +support files as well. Have a look on prep to see which ones. +Compressed versions of the tar or diff files are often available +(indicated by a .gz suffix and made with the `gzip' program). Some of +this software is in beta test (probably still buggy), and is being +made available for use by hackers who like to test software. + +The file /pub/gnu/DESCRIPTIONS has a list of the packages distributed +on prep.ai.mit.edu with a brief description explaining what +each one can be used for. + +More information about these programs can typically be found in the +GNU Bulletin. To receive a copy, write to gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu. + +** Scheme and How to FTP It + +The latest distribution version of C Scheme is available via anonymous FTP +from altdorf.ai.mit.edu in /archive/scheme-X.XX/ (where X.XX 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.) + +*** For TeX on a single tape (4mm DAT or QIC-24), ordering information is +available from unixtex@u.washington.edu. A distribution fee in the area +of US$210.00 covers administrative costs. Tapes will be available at +least through summer of 1994. + +*** The FSF hopes soon to distribute tapes of TeX itself, after the +University of Washington distribution service goes away. + +*** 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. + +** Alternative Internet FTP Sources + +Please do NOT use a site outside your country, until you have checked +all sites inside your country, and then your continent.
