+ − 2 GNU Service Directory
+ − 3 ---------------------
+ − 4
+ − 5 This is a list of people who have asked to be listed as offering
+ − 6 support services for GNU software, including GNU Emacs, for a fee
+ − 7 or in some cases at no charge.
+ − 8
+ − 9 The information comes from the people who asked to be listed;
+ − 10 we do not include any information we know to be false, but we
+ − 11 cannot check out any of the information; we are transmitting it to
+ − 12 you as it was given to us and do not promise it is correct.
+ − 13 Also, this is not an endorsement of the people listed here.
+ − 14 We have no opinions and usually no information about the abilities of
+ − 15 any specific person. We provide this list to enable you to contact
+ − 16 service providers and decide for yourself whether to hire one.
+ − 17
+ − 18 Before FSF will list your name in the GNU Service Directory, we ask
+ − 19 that you agree informally to the following terms:
+ − 20
+ − 21 1. You will not restrict (except by copyleft) the use or distribution
+ − 22 of any software, documentation, or other information you supply anyone
+ − 23 in the course of modifying, extending, or supporting GNU software.
+ − 24 This includes any information specifically designed to ameliorate the
+ − 25 use of GNU software.
+ − 26
+ − 27 2. You will not take advantage of contact made through the Service
+ − 28 Directory to advertise an unrelated business (e.g., sales of
+ − 29 non-GNU-related proprietary information). You may spontaneously
+ − 30 mention your availability for general consulting, but you should not
+ − 31 promote a specific unrelated business unless the client asks.
+ − 32
+ − 33 Please include some indication of your rates, because otherwise users
+ − 34 have nothing to go by. Please put each e-mail address inside "<>".
+ − 35 Please put nothing else inside "<>". Thanks!

+ − 64 package distribution. In general, we want to give you an unbelievably strong
+ − 65 level of support, so where we can, we will also answer questions concerning
+ − 66 any add-on Lisp code that is used at your site. Setup and customization
+ − 67 help, bug fixes, and announcements of new releases are, of course, included.
+ − 68

+ − 551 What I do:

+ − 554 SunOS (version 4.x.x), BSD (version 4.2 and up),
+ − 555 Ultrix (version 4.2 and up).
+ − 556 I've been porting GNU Emacs to VMS since spring 1991. This
+ − 557 includes versions 18.57 to 18.59 and version 19.22.
+ − 558 I maintain GNU vmslib.

+ − 576 Fluent in C, C++, Emacs Lisp, Pascal as well as assembler
+ − 577 on VAX, Motorola 680x0, Intel 8086 and 80x86. Modified key
+ − 578 elements in Emacs (e.g., memory and process management) to work
+ − 579 transparently on VMS. I have very good knowledge in the VMS
+ − 580 operating system, as well as MS-DOS and IBM PC compatibles.
+ − 581 I have worked for four and a half years as a VMS system manager.
+ − 582 I've also provided consulting services on IBM PC compatibles,

+ − 872 language theory. My primary programming languages are Emacs Lisp,
+ − 873 Perl, and Bourne shell, but of course I can program in any language.
+ − 874 I have written numerous Emacs Lisp packages. I started the USENET
+ − 875 "List of Frequently Asked Questions about GNU Emacs with Answers" and
+ − 876 maintained it for more than two years. Most of my work has been
+ − 877 related to the telephone system (modems, voice mail, etc.), but I am
