98 How to get GNU Software by Internet FTP or by UUCP: 46
99 47 * Please send improvements to this file to gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu.
100 The XEmacs project is separate from and not managed by the GNU 48
101 project. The latest GNU project FTP and UUCP availability information 49 * No Warranties
102 can be found at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/GNUinfo/FTP 50
103 51 We distribute software in the hope that it will be useful, but without
52 any warranty. No author or distributor of this software accepts
53 responsibility to anyone for the consequences of using it or for
54 whether it serves any particular purpose or works at all, unless he
55 says so in writing.
56
57 * Updates
58
59 If you find this file in the Emacs distribution, there is a chance it
60 is out of date. If you plan to FTP files from a GNU FTP host, you
61 might as well start by FTPing the current version of this file, which
62 is `/pub/gnu/GNUinfo/FTP'.
63
64 * How to FTP
65
66 Use the ftp program on your system (ask locally if you can't find it)
67 to connect to the host you are ftping from. Unless indicated
68 otherwise, login in as user "anonymous", with password: "your e-mail
69 address" and set "binary" mode (to transfer all eight bits in each
70 byte).
71
72 * FTPing GNU Software
73
74 ** How to FTP GNU Emacs
75
76 If you are on the Internet (see also "** Alternative Internet FTP
77 Sources" below), you can at present copy the latest distribution
78 version of GNU Emacs from the file /pub/gnu/emacs-M.N.tar on host
79 prep.ai.mit.edu (or the file /pub/gnu/emacs-M.N.tar.gz which has been
80 run through gzip after tar). M and N stand for version numbers; look
81 at a listing of the directory through ftp to see what version is
82 available. These files are about 11 and 4 megabytes long,
83 respectively. After you unpack the distribution, be sure to look at
84 the files README and INSTALL.
85
86 Because of difficulties in transferring large files, sometimes a split
87 version of the tar file is created. This would be in a directory
88 named /pub/gnu/emacs-M.N.tar-split or perhaps
89 /pub/gnu/emacs-M.N.tar.gz-split, containing files of 100000 characters
90 each. There is generally no trouble in ftping files of this size.
91 They can be combined with cat to make a tar file or compressed tar
92 file. If you can't find such files on prep.ai.mit.edu, have a look at
93 archive.cis.ohio-state.edu.
94
95 ALWAYS USE BINARY/IMAGE MODE TO TRANSFER THESE FILES!
96 Text mode does not work for tar files or compressed files.
97
98 Some ftp'ers have found it necessary for successful file transfer:
99 - to explicitly use prep.ai.mit.edu internet address:
100 18.159.0.42 (as of 18 June 95)
101
102 Files of differences from previous widely distributed GNU Emacs
103 versions to the present version are also available on prep.ai.mit.edu
104 under names of the form emacs.diff-OO.OO-NN.NN in directory /pub/gnu.
105 These are made with diff -rc2. Sometimes there are versions
106 compressed with gzip of these difference files as well; their names
107 have .gz appended.
108
109 The Emacs manual in source form is included in the distribution. The
110 dvi file produced by TeX is not included, but a copy may be available
111 for ftp under the name /pub/gnu/emacs.dvi.
112
113 The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual is in a separate file:
114 /pub/gnu/elisp-manual-NN.tar.gz
115
116 ** VMS FTP sites with GNU Software
117 You can anonymously ftp a VMS version of GNU emacs from:
118 - ftp.stacken.kth.se:[.GNU-VMS] - GNU Emacs and some other VMS
119 ports (and some VMS binaries) of GNU software
120 - mango.rsmas.miami.edu has a VMS version of the GCC/G++ compiler.
121 Contact angel@flipper.miami.edu (angel li) for details.
122 - addvax.llnl.gov - GNU Emacs
123 - VMSD.OAC.UCI.EDU - GNU Emacs
124 - RIGEL.EFD.LTH.SE [130.235.48.3] - GNU Emacs
125 - ctrsci.cc.utah.edu - GNU Emacs - The 00readme.txt file gives details
126 - cc.utah.edu [128.110.8.24] - misc. GNU software - user
127 anonymous, pass guest. The 00README.txt file gives details.
128
129 ** Other GNU Software and How To FTP It
130
131 Other GNU software is available on prep.ai.mit.edu under directory
132 /pub/gnu. diff files to convert between versions (like those used for
133 GNU Emacs), exist for some of these programs. Some programs have misc
134 support files as well. Have a look on prep to see which ones.
135 Compressed versions of the tar or diff files are often available
136 (indicated by a .gz suffix and made with the `gzip' program). Some of
137 this software is in beta test (probably still buggy), and is being
138 made available for use by hackers who like to test software.
139
140 The file /pub/gnu/DESCRIPTIONS has a list of the packages distributed
141 on prep.ai.mit.edu with a brief description explaining what
142 each one can be used for.
143
144 More information about these programs can typically be found in the
145 GNU Bulletin. To receive a copy, write to gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu.
146
147 ** Scheme and How to FTP It
148
149 The latest distribution version of C Scheme is available via anonymous FTP
150 from altdorf.ai.mit.edu in /archive/scheme-X.XX/ (where X.XX is some version
151 number).
152
153 Read the files INSTALL and README in the top level C Scheme directory.
154
155 ** TeX and How to Obtain It
156
157 We don't distribute TeX now, but it is free software.
158
159 TeX is a document formatter that is used, among other things, by the FSF
160 for all its documentation. You will need it if you want to make printed
161 manuals.
162
163 TeX is freely redistributable. You can get it by ftp, tape, or CD/ROM.
164
165 *** For FTP instructions, retrieve the file
166 ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/unixtex.ftp. (We don't include it here because it
167 changes relatively frequently. Sorry.)
168
169 *** For TeX on a single tape (4mm DAT or QIC-24), ordering information is
170 available from unixtex@u.washington.edu. A distribution fee in the area
171 of US$210.00 covers administrative costs. Tapes will be available at
172 least through summer of 1994.
173
174 *** The FSF hopes soon to distribute tapes of TeX itself, after the
175 University of Washington distribution service goes away.
176
177 *** A minimal TeX collection (enough to process Texinfo files, anyway)
178 is included on the GNU source CD/ROM. See the file ORDERS in this
179 directory for more information.
180
181 ** Alternative Internet FTP Sources
182
183 Please do NOT use a site outside your country, until you have checked
184 all sites inside your country, and then your continent. Trans-ocean
185 TCP/IP links are very expensive and usually very low speed.
186
187 The administrators of louie.udel.edu maintains copies of GNU Emacs.
188 The files are available via anonymous ftp under directory ~ftp/gnu.
189

234 * Getting GNU software in Great Britain
235
236 jpo@cs.nott.ac.uk is willing to distribute those GNU sources he has
237 available. The smaller items are available from the info-server (send
238 to info-server@cs.nott.ac.uk) the larger items by negotiation. Due to
239 communication costs this service is only available within the UK.
240
241 BattenIG@computer-science.birmingham.ac.uk (aka
242 I.G.Batten@fulcrum.bt.co.uk) is also willing to distribute those GNU
243 sources he has. He can also write tapes in qic-21 and qic-24 formats.
244
245 lmjm@doc.ic.ac.uk is willing to distribute those GNU sources he has
246 along with comp.sources.unix, comp.sources.x, X windows et al. The
247 archive, on src.doc.ic.ac.uk in directory /gnu, is available via ftp
248 over the Internet (on 146.169.3.7), ftam over IXI, HTTP, FSP, Gopher,
249 ftpmail, NFS, Lanmanger over IP, telnet, and uucp. Due to
250 communication costs this service is only available within the UK.
251 Mail to info-server@doc.ic.ac.uk for details. He can also write sun
252 cartridge or exabyte tapes.
253
254 UK sites with just anonymous FTP access are in the above list.
255
256 * Getting GNU software via UUCP
257
258 OSU is distributing via UUCP: most GNU software, MIT C Scheme,
259 Compress, News, RN, NNTP, Patch, some Appletalk stuff, some of the
260 Internet Requests For Comment (RFC) et al.. See their periodic
261 postings on the Usenet newsgroup comp.sources.d for informational
262 updates. Current details from <staff@cis.ohio-state.edu> or
263 <...!osu-cis!staff>.
264
265 Information on how to uucp some GNU programs is available via
266 electronic mail from: uunet!hutch!barber, hqda-ai!merlin, acornrc!bob,
267 hao!scicom!qetzal!upba!ugn!nepa!denny, ncar!noao!asuvax!hrc!dan,
268 bigtex!james (aka james@bigtex.cactus.org), oli-stl!root,

271 * If You Like The Software
272
273 If you like the software developed and distributed by the Free
274 Software Foundation, please express your satisfaction with a donation.
275 Your donations will help to support the Foundation and make our future
276 efforts successful, including a complete development and operating
277 system, called GNU (Gnu's Not Un*x), which will run Un*x user
278 programs. For more information on GNU and the Foundation, contact us
279 at the above address.
280
281 Ordering a distribution tape from the Foundation is often a good
282 way to bring your company or university to make a donation.
