Getting GNU Software, 19 Sep 90

Copyright (C) 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
|

Permission is granted to anyone to make or distribute
|

verbatim copies of this document provided that the

|
|
* GNU and the Free Software Foundation
|
|
|
|
Project GNU is organized as part of the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
|
|
The Free Software Foundation has the following goals:
|
|
1) to create GNU as a full development/operating system.
|
|
2) to distribute GNU and other useful software with source code and
|
|
permission to copy and redistribute.
|
|
|
|
Further information on the rationale for GNU is in file
|
|
/pub/gnu/etc/GNU (All files referred to are on the Internet host
|
|
prep.ai.mit.edu.
|
|
|
|
Information on GNU Internet mailing lists and gnUSENET newsgroupscan
|
|
be found in file /pub/gnu/etc/MAILINGLISTS.
|
|
|
|
* How To Get The Software
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to get a copy of the distribution is from someone else
|
|
who has it. You need not ask for permission to do so, or tell any one
|
|
else; just copy it. The second easiest is to ftp it over the
|
|
Internet. The third easiest way is to uucp it. Ftp and uucp
|
|
information is in file /pub/gnu/etc/FTP.
|
|
|
|
If you cannot get a copy any of these ways, or if you would feel more
|
|
confident getting copies straight from us, or if you would like to get
|
|
some funds to us to help in our efforts, you can order one from the
|
|
Free Software Foundation. See file /pub/gnu/etc/DISTRIB.
|
|
|
|
* Available Software
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|
The Free Software Foundation distributes C Scheme for the MIT Scheme
|
|
Project on it tapes. A partial ftp distribution can be found on
|

Problems with the C Scheme distribution and it's ftp distribution
|
|
should be referred to: <bug-cscheme@prep.ai.mit.edu>. There are two

<info-cscheme@prep.ai.mit.edu>. Requests to join either list to:
|
|
<info-cscheme-request@prep.ai.mit.edu> or

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
