+How to get GNU Software by Internet FTP or by UUCP. Last updated 11 June 95.
+
+* Please send improvements to this file to gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu.
+
+* 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.
+
+* 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+is out of date.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. Trans-ocean
+TCP/IP links are very expensive and usually very low speed.
+
+The administrators of louie.udel.edu maintains copies of GNU Emacs.
+The files are available via anonymous ftp under directory ~ftp/gnu.
+
+Emacs and other GNU programs may be available via anonymous ftp from
+these US sites: ftp.kpc.com/pub/mirror/gnu (Silicon Valley, CA)

+
+* Getting GNU software in Great Britain
+
+jpo@cs.nott.ac.uk is willing to distribute those GNU sources he has
+available. The smaller items are available from the info-server (send
+to info-server@cs.nott.ac.uk) the larger items by negotiation. Due to
+communication costs this service is only available within the UK.
+
+BattenIG@computer-science.birmingham.ac.uk (aka
+I.G.Batten@fulcrum.bt.co.uk) is also willing to distribute those GNU
+sources he has. He can also write tapes in qic-21 and qic-24 formats.
+
+lmjm@doc.ic.ac.uk is willing to distribute those GNU sources he has
+along with comp.sources.unix, comp.sources.x, X windows et al. The
+archive, on src.doc.ic.ac.uk in directory /gnu, is available via ftp
+over the Internet (on 146.169.3.7), ftam over IXI, HTTP, FSP, Gopher,
+ftpmail, NFS, Lanmanger over IP, telnet, and uucp. Due to
+communication costs this service is only available within the UK.
+Mail to info-server@doc.ic.ac.uk for details. He can also write sun
+cartridge or exabyte tapes.
+
+UK sites with just anonymous FTP access are in the above list.
+
+* Getting GNU software via UUCP
+
+OSU is distributing via UUCP: most GNU software, MIT C Scheme,
+Compress, News, RN, NNTP, Patch, some Appletalk stuff, some of the
+Internet Requests For Comment (RFC) et al.. See their periodic
+postings on the Usenet newsgroup comp.sources.d for informational
+updates. Current details from <staff@cis.ohio-state.edu> or
+<...!osu-cis!staff>.
+
+Information on how to uucp some GNU programs is available via
+electronic mail from: uunet!hutch!barber, hqda-ai!merlin, acornrc!bob,
+hao!scicom!qetzal!upba!ugn!nepa!denny, ncar!noao!asuvax!hrc!dan,
+bigtex!james (aka james@bigtex.cactus.org), oli-stl!root,
+src@contrib.de (Germany), toku@dit.co.jp (Japan) and info@ftp.uu.net.
+
+* 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
+at the above address.
+
+Ordering a distribution tape from the Foundation is often a good
+way to bring your company or university to make a donation.
