3 XEmacs availability information. Last Modified: 10-feb-96.
|
|
|
4
|
|
|
5 XEmacs is available via anonymous FTP from ftp.xemacs.org (128.174.252.16)
|
|
|
6 in the directory /pub/xemacs/.
|
|
|
7
|
|
|
8 ftp.xemacs.org is the primary distribution point, but you may find
|
|
|
9 copies of it at other sites as well. Some sites to try include:
|
|
|
10
|
|
|
11 ftp.ai.mit.edu:/pub/xemacs/
|
|
|
12 ftp.uu.net:/systems/gnu/xemacs/
|
|
|
13 ftp.sunet.se:/pub/gnu/xemacs/
|
|
|
14 ftp.cenatls.cena.dgac.fr:/pub/Emacs/xemacs/

|
|
|
24 The most up-to-date list of distribution sites can always be found on
|
|
|
25 the XEmacs WWW page, http://www.xemacs.org/. Try to pick a site
|
|
|
26 that is networkologically close to you. If you know of other mirrors
|
|
|
27 of the XEmacs archives, please send us mail and we will list them here
|
|
|
28 as well.
|
|
|
29
|
|
|
30 There are mailing lists and newsgroups specifically for discussing and
|
|
|
31 reporting bugs in XEmacs; see the file MAILINGLISTS in this directory.
|
|
|
32
|
|
|
33 The FTP and ordering information in the remainder of this file applies
|
|
|
34 to the versions of GNU Emacs distributed by the Free Software Foundation,
|
|
|
35 not to XEmacs.

38 How to get GNU Software by Internet FTP or by UUCP. Last updated 11 June 95.
|
|
|
39
|
|
|
40 * Please send improvements to this file to gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu.
|
|
|
41
|
|
|
42 * No Warranties
|
|
|
43
|
|
|
44 We distribute software in the hope that it will be useful, but without
|
|
|
45 any warranty. No author or distributor of this software accepts
|
|
|
46 responsibility to anyone for the consequences of using it or for
|
|
|
47 whether it serves any particular purpose or works at all, unless he
|
|
|
48 says so in writing.
|
|
|
49
|
|
|
50 * Updates
|
|
|
51
|
|
|
52 If you find this file in the Emacs distribution, there is a chance it
|
|
|
53 is out of date. If you plan to FTP files from a GNU FTP host, you
|
|
|
54 might as well start by FTPing the current version of this file, which
|
|
|
55 is `/pub/gnu/GNUinfo/FTP'.
|
|
|
56
|
|
|
57 * How to FTP
|
|
|
58
|
|
|
59 Use the ftp program on your system (ask locally if you can't find it)
|
|
|
60 to connect to the host you are ftping from. Unless indicated
|
|
|
61 otherwise, login in as user "anonymous", with password: "your e-mail
|
|
|
62 address" and set "binary" mode (to transfer all eight bits in each
|
|
|
63 byte).
|
|
|
64
|
|
|
65 * FTPing GNU Software
|
|
|
66
|
|
|
67 ** How to FTP GNU Emacs
|
|
|
68
|
|
|
69 If you are on the Internet (see also "** Alternative Internet FTP
|
|
|
70 Sources" below), you can at present copy the latest distribution
|
|
|
71 version of GNU Emacs from the file /pub/gnu/emacs-M.N.tar on host
|
|
|
72 prep.ai.mit.edu (or the file /pub/gnu/emacs-M.N.tar.gz which has been
|
|
|
73 run through gzip after tar). M and N stand for version numbers; look
|
|
|
74 at a listing of the directory through ftp to see what version is
|
|
|
75 available. These files are about 11 and 4 megabytes long,
|
|
|
76 respectively. After you unpack the distribution, be sure to look at
|
|
|
77 the files README and INSTALL.
|
|
|
78
|
|
|
79 Because of difficulties in transferring large files, sometimes a split
|
|
|
80 version of the tar file is created. This would be in a directory
|
|
|
81 named /pub/gnu/emacs-M.N.tar-split or perhaps
|
|
|
82 /pub/gnu/emacs-M.N.tar.gz-split, containing files of 100000 characters
|
|
|
83 each. There is generally no trouble in ftping files of this size.
|
|
|
84 They can be combined with cat to make a tar file or compressed tar
|
|
|
85 file. If you can't find such files on prep.ai.mit.edu, have a look at
|
|
|
86 archive.cis.ohio-state.edu.
|
|
|
87
|
|
|
88 ALWAYS USE BINARY/IMAGE MODE TO TRANSFER THESE FILES!
|
|
|
89 Text mode does not work for tar files or compressed files.
|
|
|
90
|
|
|
91 Some ftp'ers have found it necessary for successful file transfer:
|
|
|
92 - to explicitly use prep.ai.mit.edu internet address:
|
|
|
93 18.159.0.42 (as of 18 June 95)
|
|
|
94
|
|
|
95 Files of differences from previous widely distributed GNU Emacs
|
|
|
96 versions to the present version are also available on prep.ai.mit.edu
|
|
|
97 under names of the form emacs.diff-OO.OO-NN.NN in directory /pub/gnu.
|
|
|
98 These are made with diff -rc2. Sometimes there are versions
|
|
|
99 compressed with gzip of these difference files as well; their names
|
|
|
100 have .gz appended.
|
|
|
101
|
|
|
102 The Emacs manual in source form is included in the distribution. The
|
|
|
103 dvi file produced by TeX is not included, but a copy may be available
|
|
|
104 for ftp under the name /pub/gnu/emacs.dvi.
|
|
|
105
|
|
|
106 The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is in a separate file:
|
|
|
107 /pub/gnu/elisp-manual-NN.tar.gz
|
|
|
108
|
|
|
109 ** VMS FTP sites with GNU Software
|
|
|
110 You can anonymously ftp a VMS version of GNU emacs from:
|
|
|
111 - ftp.stacken.kth.se:[.GNU-VMS] - GNU Emacs and some other VMS
|
|
|
112 ports (and some VMS binaries) of GNU software
|
|
|
113 - mango.rsmas.miami.edu has a VMS version of the GCC/G++ compiler.
|
|
|
114 Contact angel@flipper.miami.edu (angel li) for details.
|
|
|
115 - addvax.llnl.gov - GNU Emacs
|
|
|
116 - VMSD.OAC.UCI.EDU - GNU Emacs
|
|
|
117 - RIGEL.EFD.LTH.SE [130.235.48.3] - GNU Emacs
|
|
|
118 - ctrsci.cc.utah.edu - GNU Emacs - The 00readme.txt file gives details
|
|
|
119 - cc.utah.edu [128.110.8.24] - misc. GNU software - user
|
|
|
120 anonymous, pass guest. The 00README.txt file gives details.
|
|
|
121
|
|
|
122 ** Other GNU Software and How To FTP It
|
|
|
123
|
|
|
124 Other GNU software is available on prep.ai.mit.edu under directory
|
|
|
125 /pub/gnu. diff files to convert between versions (like those used for
|
|
|
126 GNU Emacs), exist for some of these programs. Some programs have misc
|
|
|
127 support files as well. Have a look on prep to see which ones.
|
|
|
128 Compressed versions of the tar or diff files are often available
|
|
|
129 (indicated by a .gz suffix and made with the `gzip' program). Some of
|
|
|
130 this software is in beta test (probably still buggy), and is being
|
|
|
131 made available for use by hackers who like to test software.
|
|
|
132
|
|
|
133 The file /pub/gnu/DESCRIPTIONS has a list of the packages distributed
|
|
|
134 on prep.ai.mit.edu with a brief description explaining what
|
|
|
135 each one can be used for.
|
|
|
136
|
|
|
137 More information about these programs can typically be found in the
|
|
|
138 GNU Bulletin. To receive a copy, write to gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu.
|
|
|
139
|
|
|
140 ** Scheme and How to FTP It
|
|
|
141
|
|
|
142 The latest distribution version of C Scheme is available via anonymous FTP
|
|
|
143 from altdorf.ai.mit.edu in /archive/scheme-X.XX/ (where X.XX is some version
|
|
|
144 number).
|
|
|
145
|
|
|
146 Read the files INSTALL and README in the top level C Scheme directory.
|
|
|
147
|
|
|
148 ** TeX and How to Obtain It
|
|
|
149
|
|
|
150 We don't distribute TeX now, but it is free software.
|
|
|
151
|
|
|
152 TeX is a document formatter that is used, among other things, by the FSF
|
|
|
153 for all its documentation. You will need it if you want to make printed
|
|
|
154 manuals.
|
|
|
155
|
|
|
156 TeX is freely redistributable. You can get it by ftp, tape, or CD/ROM.
|
|
|
157
|
|
|
158 *** For FTP instructions, retrieve the file
|
|
|
159 ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/unixtex.ftp. (We don't include it here because it
|
|
|
160 changes relatively frequently. Sorry.)
|
|
|
161
|
|
|
162 *** For TeX on a single tape (4mm DAT or QIC-24), ordering information is
|
|
|
163 available from unixtex@u.washington.edu. A distribution fee in the area
|
|
|
164 of US$210.00 covers administrative costs. Tapes will be available at
|
|
|
165 least through summer of 1994.
|
|
|
166
|
|
|
167 *** The FSF hopes soon to distribute tapes of TeX itself, after the
|
|
|
168 University of Washington distribution service goes away.
|
|
|
169
|
|
|
170 *** A minimal TeX collection (enough to process Texinfo files, anyway)
|
|
|
171 is included on the GNU source CD/ROM. See the file ORDERS in this
|
|
|
172 directory for more information.
|
|
|
173
|
|
|
174 ** Alternative Internet FTP Sources
|
|
|
175
|
|
|
176 Please do NOT use a site outside your country, until you have checked
|
|
|
177 all sites inside your country, and then your continent. Trans-ocean
|
|
|
178 TCP/IP links are very expensive and usually very low speed.
|
|
|
179
|
|
|
180 The administrators of louie.udel.edu maintains copies of GNU Emacs.
|
|
|
181 The files are available via anonymous ftp under directory ~ftp/gnu.
|
|
|
182
|
|
|
183 Emacs and other GNU programs may be available via anonymous ftp from
|
|
|

227 * Getting GNU software in Great Britain
|
|
|
228
|
|
|
229 jpo@cs.nott.ac.uk is willing to distribute those GNU sources he has
|
|
|
230 available. The smaller items are available from the info-server (send
|
|
|
231 to info-server@cs.nott.ac.uk) the larger items by negotiation. Due to
|
|
|
232 communication costs this service is only available within the UK.
|
|
|
233
|
|
|
234 BattenIG@computer-science.birmingham.ac.uk (aka
|
|
|
235 I.G.Batten@fulcrum.bt.co.uk) is also willing to distribute those GNU
|
|
|
236 sources he has. He can also write tapes in qic-21 and qic-24 formats.
|
|
|
237
|
|
|
238 lmjm@doc.ic.ac.uk is willing to distribute those GNU sources he has
|
|
|
239 along with comp.sources.unix, comp.sources.x, X windows et al. The
|
|
|
240 archive, on src.doc.ic.ac.uk in directory /gnu, is available via ftp
|
|
|
241 over the Internet (on 146.169.3.7), ftam over IXI, HTTP, FSP, Gopher,
|
|

|
|
250
|
|
|
251 OSU is distributing via UUCP: most GNU software, MIT C Scheme,
|
|
|
252 Compress, News, RN, NNTP, Patch, some Appletalk stuff, some of the
|
|
|
253 Internet Requests For Comment (RFC) et al.. See their periodic
