The FSF will provide the contributor with a receipt to +recognize the contribution (which is tax-deductible on U.S. tax returns). +For more information, please contact Cygnus: + + Cygnus Support + 1937 Landings Drive + Mountain View, CA 94043 + USA + + Telephone: 415-903-1400 + +1-800-Cygnus1 (-294-6871) + Fax: 415-903-0122 + Electronic-Mail: `info@cygnus.com' + FTP: `ftp.cygnus.com' + WWW: `http://www.cygnus.com/' + + + +Free Software Redistributors Donate +*********************************** + +The SNOW 2.1 CD producers added the words "Includes $5 donation to the FSF" +to the front of their CD. Potential buyers will know just how much of the +price is for the FSF & how much is for the redistributor. + +The Sun Users Group Deutschland & ASCII Corporation (Japan) have added +donations to the FSF to the price of their next GNU software CD-ROMs. + +Austin Code Works, a free software redistributor, supports free software +development by giving the FSF 20% of the selling price for the GNU software +CDs they produce & sell. + +Walnut Creek CDROM & Info Magic, free software redistributors, are also +giving us part of their selling price. + +TOHDO-SHA is donating 400 yen to the FSF for each copy of `The GNU Emacs Lisp +Reference Manual, Japanese Edition' sold at bookstores in Japan. + +CQ Publishing made a large donation from the sales of their GAWK book in +Japanese. + +In the long run, the success of free software depends on how much new free +software people develop. Free software distribution offers an opportunity to +raise funds for such development in an ethical way. These redistributors +have made use of the opportunity. Many others let it go to waste. + +You can help promote free software development by convincing for-a-fee +redistributors to contribute--either by doing development themselves or by +donating to development organizations (the FSF and others). + +The way to convince distributors to contribute is to demand and expect this +of them. This means choosing among distributors partly by how much they give +to free software development. Then you can show distributors they must +compete to be the one who gives the most. + +To make this work, you must insist on numbers that you can compare, such as, +"We will give ten dollars to the Foobar project for each disk sold." A vague +commitment, such as "A portion of the profits is donated," doesn't give you a +basis for comparison. Even a precise fraction "of the profits from this +disk" is not very meaningful, since creative accounting and unrelated +business decisions can greatly alter what fraction of the sales price counts +as profit. + +Also, press developers for firm information about what kind of development +they do or support. Some kinds make much more long-term difference than +others. For example, maintaining a separate version of a GNU program +contributes very little; maintaining a program on behalf of the GNU Project +contributes much. Easy new ports contribute little, since someone else would +surely do them; difficult ports such as adding a new CPU to the GNU compiler +or Mach contribute more; major new features and programs contribute the most. + +By establishing the idea that supporting further development is "the proper +thing to do" when distributing free software for a fee, we can assure a +steady flow of resources for making more free software. + + + +Help from Free Software Companies +********************************* + +When choosing a free software business, ask those you are considering how +much they do to assist free software development, e.g., by contributing money +to free software development or by writing free software improvements +themselves for general use. By basing your decision partially on this +factor, you can help encourage those who profit from free software to +contribute to its growth. + +Wingnut (SRA's special GNU support group) regularly donates a part of its +income to the FSF to support the development of new GNU programs. Listing +them here is our way of thanking them. Wingnut has made a pledge to donate +10% of their income to the FSF, and has purchased several Deluxe Distribution +packages in Japan.

(*Note FSF T-shirt::) + + We have a new T-shirt. This design was inspired by the cover of the + `GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual'. + + * GNU Emacs 19.30 (*Note GNU Software::) + + We have just released Emacs 19.30. New features include support for menu + bars on text-only terminals, a total rewrite of GNUS, multiple frames on + Windows NT and Windows 95, & many others. + + * New Programs on the Tapes (*Note GNU Software::) + + `gettext' is now on the *Note Languages Tape::. Termutils & Midnight + Commander have been added to the *Note Utilities Tape::. CLX has been + added to the *Note Lisps/Emacs Tape::. Newer versions of many of our + programs & manuals have been placed on all the media we distribute. + + * New Source Code CD! + + We have just released the December 1995 Source Code CD-ROMs (Edition 7). + Due to increasing amounts of GNU Software, the Source Code CD is now a + two disc set--the price remains unchanged! The new programs included + are: apache, CLX, Elisp archive, `ffcall', `gettext', GN, Gnans, + `gnuserv', Hyperbole, Midnight Commander, Oaklisp, SIPP, SNePS, Spinner, + W3, and `xgrabsc'. *Note GNU Software::, for more information about + these packages. Also on the CD-ROMs are full distributions of MIT X11R6 + (both our Required & Optional distributions), MIT Scheme 7.3, Emacs + 19.30, GCC 2.7.1, and current versions of all other GNU Software. For + more information, see *Note December 1995 Source Code CD-ROMs::. + + * New Compiler Tools CD-ROM + + We have a new edition of the Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM with updated + versions of much of its software. It contains executables of the GNU + compiler tools for some systems that don't normally come with a + compiler. This allows users of those systems to compile their own + software without having to buy a proprietary compiler. + + We hope to include more systems with each update of this CD-ROM. If you + can help build binaries for new systems or have one to suggest, please + contact us at either address on page 1. For more information, see *Note + Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM::. + + * New/Updated Manuals since Last Bulletin (*Note Documentation::) + + We have a new manual: `The GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual, Japanese + Edition' - the FSF would like to thank the team of over 30 Japanese who + did the translation. These new editions include bug fixes and + additional information: `The GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual', `GNU + Make', `Bison', `Programming in Emacs Lisp: An Introduction', and `The + Termcap Manual'. + + * Older FSF CD-ROMs Available at a Reduced Price + + While supplies last, older versions of our CD-ROMs are available at a + reduced price. Note that the newest version has bug fixes and + improvements that the older versions do not. See the *note Free + Software Foundation Order Form::.. + + * GNU Software Works on MS-DOS (Also *note GNU Software::.) + + GNU Emacs 19 and many other GNU programs have been ported to MS-DOS for + i386/i486/Pentium machines. We ship binaries & sources on the *Note + DJGPP Diskettes::; *Note Emacs Diskettes::; *Note Selected Utilities + Diskettes::; & the *Note Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM::. We will ship + binaries & sources on the *Note MS-DOS Book with CD-ROM::, when it is + available. + + * The FSF Takes Credit Cards + + We take these credit cards: Carte Blanche, Diner's Club, MasterCard, JCB, + Visa, and American Express. Please note that we are charged about 5% of + an order's total amount in credit card processing fees. Please consider + paying by check instead or adding on a 5% donation to make up the + difference. + + + +The Deluxe Distribution +*********************** + +The Free Software Foundation has been asked repeatedly to create a package +that provides executables for all of our software. Normally we offer only +sources. In addition to providing binaries with the source code, the Deluxe +Distribution includes a complete set of our printed manuals and reference +cards. + +The FSF Deluxe Distribution contains the binaries and sources to hundreds of +different programs including GNU Emacs, the GNU C Compiler, the GNU Debugger, +the complete X Window System, and all the GNU utilities. + +We will make a Deluxe Distribution for most machines/operating systems. We +may be able to send someone to your office to do the compilation, if we can't +find a suitable machine close to us. However, we can only compile the +programs that already support your chosen machine/system - porting is a +separate matter (to commission a port, consult the GNU Service Directory; +details in *Note Free Software Support::). Compiling all these programs +takes time; a Deluxe Distribution for an unusual machine will take longer to +produce than one for a common machine. Please contact the FSF Office with +any questions. + +We supply the software in one of these tape formats in Unix `tar' format: +1600 or 6250bpi 1/2in reel, Sun DC300XLP 1/4in cartridge - QIC24, IBM RS/6000 +1/4in c.t. - QIC 150, Exabyte 8mm c.t., or DAT 4mm c.t. If your computer +cannot read any of these, please contact us to see if we can handle your +format. + +The manuals included are one each of the `Bison', `Calc', `GAWK', `GNU C +Compiler', `GNU C Library', `GDB', `Flex', `GNU Emacs Lisp Reference', +`Programming in Emacs Lisp: An Introduction', `Make', `Texinfo', & `Termcap' +manuals; six copies of the `GNU Emacs' manual; and a packet of ten reference +cards each for Emacs, Bison, Calc, Flex, & GDB. + +Every Deluxe Distribution also has a copy of the latest editions of our +CD-ROMs that have sources of our software & compiler tool binaries for some +systems. The MS-DOS CD is in ISO 9660 format. The other CDs are in ISO 9660 +format with Rock Ridge extensions. + +The price of the Deluxe Distribution is $5000 (shipping included). These +sales provide enormous financial assistance to help the FSF develop more free +software. To order, please fill out the "Deluxe Distribution" section on the +*note Free Software Foundation Order Form::. and send it to: + + Free Software Foundation, Inc. + 59 Temple Place - Suite 330 + Boston, MA 02111-1307 + USA + + Telephone: +1-617-542-5942 + Fax (including Japan): +1-617-542-2652 + Electronic mail: gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu + + + +GNU Documentation +***************** + +GNU is dedicated to having quality, easy-to-use online & printed +documentation. GNU manuals are intended to explain underlying concepts, +describe how to use all the features of each program, & give examples of +command use. GNU manuals are distributed as Texinfo source files, which +yield both typeset hardcopy via the TeX document formatting system and online +hypertext display via the menu-driven Info system. Source for these manuals +comes with our software; here are the manuals that we publish as printed +books. See the *note Free Software Foundation Order Form::., to order them. + +Most GNU manuals are bound as soft cover books with "lay-flat" bindings. +This allows you to open them so they lie flat on a table without creasing the +binding. They have an inner cloth spine and an outer cardboard cover that +will not break or crease as an ordinary paperback will. Currently, the +`GDB', `Emacs', `Emacs Lisp Reference', `Programming in Emacs Lisp: An +Introduction', `GAWK', `Make', `Bison', & `Texinfo' manuals have this +binding. The other GNU manuals also lie flat when opened, using a GBC or +Wire-O binding. All our manuals are 7in by 9.25in except the 8.5in by 11in +`Calc' manual. + +The edition number of the manual and version number of the program listed +after each manual's name were current at the time this Bulletin was published. + +`Debugging with GDB' (Edition 4.12 for Version 4.14) tells how to run your +program under GNU Debugger control, examine and alter data, modify a +program's flow of control, and use GDB through GNU Emacs. + +The `GNU Emacs Manual' (11th Edition for Version 19.29) describes editing with +GNU Emacs. It explains advanced features, including outline mode and regular +expression search; how to use special programming modes to write languages +like C++ and TeX; how to use the `tags' utility; how to compile and correct +code; how to make your own keybindings; and other elementary customizations. + +`Programming in Emacs Lisp: An Introduction' (Edition 1.04) is for people who +are not necessarily interested in programming, but who do want to customize +or extend their computing environment. If you read it in Emacs under Info +mode, you can run the sample programs directly. + +`The GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual' (Edition 2.4 for Version 19.29) and +`The GNU Emacs Lisp Reference, Japanese Edition' (Japanese DRAFT Revision +1.0, from English Edition 2.4 for Version 19.29) covers this programming +language in depth, including data types, control structures, functions, +macros, syntax tables, searching/matching, modes, windows, keymaps, byte +compilation, and the operating system interface. + +`The GAWK Manual' (Edition 0.16 for Version 2.16) tells how to use the GNU +implementation of `awk'. It is written for those who have never used `awk' +and describes the features of this powerful string and record manipulation +language. + +The `Make Manual' (Edition 0.49 for Version 3.74) describes GNU `make', a +program used to rebuild parts of other programs. The manual tells how to +write "makefiles", which specify how a program is to be compiled and how its +files depend on each other. Included are an introductory chapter for novice +users and a section about automatically generated dependencies. + +The `Flex' manual (Edition 1.03 for Version 2.3.7) teaches you to write a +lexical scanner definition for the `flex' program to create a C++ or C-coded +scanner that recognizes the patterns defined. You need no prior knowledge of +scanners. + +The `Bison' manual (December 1993 Edition for Version 1.23) teaches you how +to write context-free grammars for the Bison program that convert into +C-coded parsers. You need no prior knowledge of parser generators. + +`Using and Porting GNU CC' (September 1994 Edition for Version 2.6) tells how +to run, install, and port the GNU C Compiler to new systems. It lists new +features and incompatibilities of GCC, but people not familiar with C will +still need a good reference on the C programming language. It also covers +G++. We are doing limited copier runs of this manual until it becomes more +stable. + +The `Texinfo' manual (Edition 2.21 for Version 3) explains the markup +language that produces our online Info documentation & typeset hardcopies. +It tells you how to make tables, lists, chapters, nodes, indexes, cross +references, & how to catch mistakes. This second edition describes over 50 +new commands. + +`The Termcap Manual' (2nd Edition for Version 1.2), often described as "twice +as much as you ever wanted to know about termcap," details the format of the +termcap database, the definitions of terminal capabilities, and the process +of interrogating a terminal description. This manual is primarily for +programmers. + +The `C Library Reference Manual' (Edition 0.06 for Version 1.09) describes +the library's facilities, including both what Unix calls "library functions" +& "system calls." We are doing small copier runs of this manual until it +becomes more stable. Please send fixes to `bug-glibc-manual@prep.ai.mit.edu'. + +The `Emacs Calc Manual' (Edition 2.02 for Version 2.02) is both a tutorial +and a reference manual. It tells how to do ordinary arithmetic, how to use +Calc for algebra, calculus, and other forms of mathematics, and how to extend +Calc. + + + +GNU Software +************ + +All our software is available via FTP; see *Note How to Get GNU Software::. +We also offer software on various media and printed documentation: + + * *Note CD-ROMs::. + + * *Note Tapes::. + + * *Note MS-DOS Diskettes::. + + * *Note Documentation::, which includes manuals and reference cards. + +In these articles describing the contents of each medium, the version number +listed after each program name was current when we published this Bulletin. +When you order a distribution tape, diskette, or newer CD-ROM, some of the +programs may be newer and therefore the version number higher. See the *note +Free Software Foundation Order Form::., for ordering information. + +Some of the contents of our tape and FTP distributions are compressed. We +have software on our tapes and FTP sites to uncompress these files. Due to +patent troubles with `compress', we use another compression program, `gzip'. +(Such prohibitions on software development are fought by the League for +Programming Freedom; *note What Is the LPF::., for details.) + +GNU `make' is on several of our tapes because some system vendors supply no +`make' utility at all and some native `make' programs lack the `VPATH' +feature essential for using the GNU configure system to its full extent. The +GNU `make' sources have a shell script to build `make' itself on such systems. + +We welcome all bug reports and enhancements sent to the appropriate +electronic mailing list (*note Free Software Support::.). + + + +Configuring GNU Software +------------------------ + +We are using, Autoconf, a uniform scheme for configuring GNU software +packages in order to compile them (see "Autoconf" below, in this article). +The goal is to have all GNU software support the same alternatives for naming +machine and system types. + +Ultimately, it will be possible to configure and build the entire system all +at once, eliminating the need to configure each individual package separately. + +You can also specify both the host and target system to build +cross-compilation tools. Most GNU programs now use Autoconf-generated +configure scripts. + + + +GNU Software currently available +-------------------------------- + +For future programs and features, see *Note Forthcoming GNUs::. + +Key to cross reference: + + + BinCD + December 1994 Binaries CD-ROM + + DjgpD + Djgpp Diskettes + + DosBC + MS-DOS Book with CD-ROM + + EmcsD + Emacs Diskettes + + LangT + Languages Tape + + LiteT + 4.4BSD-Lite Tape + + LspEmcT + Lisps/Emacs Tape + + SchmT + Scheme Tape + + SrcCD + December 1995 Source CD-ROMs + + UtilD + Selected Utilities Diskettes + + UtilT + Utilities Tape + + VMSCmpT + VMS Compiler Tape + + VMSEmcsT + VMS Emacs Tape + + WdwsD + Windows Diskette + + X11OptT + X11 Optional Tape + + X11ReqT + X11 Required Tape + +[FSFman] shows that we sell a manual for that package. [FSFrc] shows we sell +a reference card for that package. To order them, see the *note Free +Software Foundation Order Form::.. *Note Documentation::, for more +information on the manuals. Source code for each manual or reference card is +included with each package. + + * `acm' (SrcCD, UtilT) + + `acm' is a LAN-oriented, multiplayer aerial combat simulation that runs + under the X Window System. Players engage in air to air combat against + one another using heat seeking missiles and cannons. We are working on + a more accurate simulation of real airplane flight characteristics. + + * apache (SrcCD) + + Apache is an HTTP server designed as a plug-in replacement for version + 1.3 or 1.4 of the NCSA server. It fixes numerous bugs in the NCSA + server and includes many frequently requested new features, and has an + API which allows it to be extended to meet users' needs more easily. + + * Autoconf (SrcCD, UtilT) + + Autoconf produces shell scripts which automatically configure source code + packages. These scripts adapt the packages to many kinds of Unix-like + systems without manual user intervention. Autoconf creates a script for + a package from a template file which lists the operating system features + which the package can use, in the form of `m4' macro calls. Autoconf + requires GNU `m4' to operate, but the resulting configure scripts it + generates do not. + + * BASH (SrcCD, UtilT) + + GNU's shell, BASH (Bourne Again SHell), is compatible with the Unix `sh' + and offers many extensions found in `csh' and `ksh'. BASH has job + control, `csh'-style command history, command-line editing (with Emacs + and `vi' modes built-in, and the ability to rebind keys) via the + `readline' library. BASH conforms to the POSIX 1003.2-1992 standard. + + * `bc' (DosBC, SrcCD, UtilT) + + `bc' is an interactive algebraic language with arbitrary precision + numbers. GNU `bc' follows the POSIX 1003.2-1992 standard, with several + extensions including multi-character variable names, an `else' + statement, and full Boolean expressions. The RPN calculator `dc' is now + distributed as part of the same package, but GNU `bc' is not implemented + as a `dc' preprocessor. + + * BFD (BinCD, DjgpD, DosBC, LangT, SrcCD) + + The Binary File Descriptor library allows a program which operates on + object files (e.g., `ld' or GDB) to support many different formats in a + clean way. BFD provides a portable interface, so that only BFD needs to + know the details of a particular format. One result is that all + programs using BFD will support formats such as a.out, COFF, and ELF. + BFD comes with Texinfo source for a manual (not yet published on paper). + + At present, BFD is not distributed separately; it is included with + packages that use it. + + * Binutils (BinCD, DjgpD, DosBC, LangT, SrcCD; `gas' only on VMSCmpT) + + Binutils includes these programs: `ar', `c++filt', `demangle', `gas', + `gprof', `ld', `nlmconv', `nm', `objcopy', `objdump', `ranlib', `size', + `strings', & `strip'. + + Binutils version 2 uses the BFD library. The GNU assembler, `gas', + supports the a29k, Alpha, H8/300, H8/500, HP-PA, i386, i960, m68k, m88k, + MIPS, NS32K, SH, SPARC, Tahoe, Vax and Z8000 CPUs, and attempts to be + compatible with many other assemblers for UNIX and embedded systems. It + can produce mixed C-and-assembly listings, and includes a macro facility + similar to that in some other assemblers. GNU's linker `ld' emits + source-line numbered error messages for multiply-defined symbols and + undefined references, and interprets a superset of AT&T's Linker Command + Language, which gives control over where segments are placed in memory. + `nlmconv' converts object files into Novell NetWare Loadable Modules. + `objdump' can disassemble code for most of the CPUs listed above, and + can display other data (e.g., symbols and relocations) from any file + format read by BFD. + + * Bison (BinCD,DjgpD,DosBC,LangT,SrcCD,VMSCmpT)[FSFman,FSFrc] + + Bison is an upwardly compatible replacement for the parser generator + `yacc'. Texinfo source for the `Bison Manual' and reference card are + included. *Note Documentation::. + + A recent policy change allows non-free programs to use Bison-generated + parsers. *Note Conditions for Using Bison::. + + * C Library (BinCD, LangT, SrcCD) [FSFman] + + The GNU C library supports ANSI C-1989, POSIX 1003.1-1990 and most of the + functions in POSIX 1003.2-1992. It is upwardly compatible with 4.4BSD + and includes many System V functions, plus GNU extensions. + + The C Library performs many functions of the Unix system calls in the + GNU/Hurd. Mike Haertel has written a fast `malloc' which wastes less + memory than the old GNU version. The GNU regular-expression functions + (`regex' and `rx') now nearly conform to the POSIX 1003.2 standard. + + GNU `stdio' lets you define new kinds of streams, just by writing a few + C functions. The `fmemopen' function uses this to open a stream on a + string, which can grow as necessary. You can define your own `printf' + formats to use a C function you have written. For example, you can + safely use format strings from user input to implement a `printf'-like + function for another programming language. Extended `getopt' functions + are already used to parse options, including long options, in many GNU + utilities. + + The C Library runs on Sun-3 (SunOS 4.1), Sun-4 (SunOS 4.1 or Solaris 2), + HP 9000/300 (4.3BSD), SONY News 800 (NewsOS 3 or 4), MIPS DECstation + (Ultrix 4), DEC Alpha (OSF/1), i386/i486/Pentium (System V, SVR4, BSD, + SCO 3.2, & SCO ODT 2.0), Sequent Symmetry i386 (Dynix 3), & SGI (Irix + 4). *Note Forthcoming GNUs::. Texinfo source for the + `GNU C Library Reference Manual' is included (*note Documentation::.. + + * C++ Library (BinCD, DjgpD, DosBC, LangT, SrcCD) + + The GNU C++ library (libg++) contains an extensive collection of C++ + "forest" classes, an IOStream library for input/output routines, and + support tools for use with G++. Supported classes include: Obstacks, + multiple-precision Integers and Rationals, Complex numbers, arbitrary + length Strings, BitSets, and BitStrings. + + The distribution also includes the libstdc++ library. This implements + library facilities defined by the forthcoming ANSI/ISO C++ standard, + including a port of the Standard Template Library. + + * Calc (DosBC, LspEmcT, SrcCD) [FSFman, FSFrc] + + Calc (written by Dave Gillespie in Emacs Lisp) is an extensible, advanced + desk calculator & mathematical tool that runs as part of GNU Emacs. You + can use Calc just as a simple four-function calculator, but it has many + more features including: choice of algebraic or RPN (stack-based) entry; + logarithmic, trigonometric, & financial functions; arbitrary precision; + complex numbers; vectors; matrices; dates; times; infinities; sets; + algebraic simplification; differentiation & integration. It outputs to + `gnuplot', & comes with source for a manual & reference card (*note + Documentation::.). + + * `cfengine' (SrcCD, UtilT) + + `cfengine' is used for maintaining site-wide configuration of a + heterogeneous Unix network using a simple high level language.

See Mark Burgess, "A Site Configuration + Engine", `Computing Systems', Vol. 8, No. 3 (ask `office@usenix.org' how + to get a copy). + + * Chess (SrcCD, UtilT, WdwsD) + + GNU Chess enables most modern computers to play a full game of chess. It + supports a plain terminal interface, a curses interface, and a spiffy X + Window interface via `xboard'. + + Improvements this past year include fixes to the game analyzer, book, & + hash table; smartening up draw and mate; improved thinking on opponent's + time; Autoconf installation; a makefile for Windows NT compilation; + forward pruning; unlimited quiescence captures; improved evaluation; + improved null & time control logic; & repetition-detection. + + GNU Chess was originated by Stuart Cracraft. Improvements & rewrites are + from John Stanback, Cha Kong Sian, Mike McGann, and many others. + + Send bugs to `bug-gnu-chess@prep.ai.mit.edu' & general comments to + `info-gnu-chess@prep.ai.mit.edu'. + + * CLISP (LspEmcT, SrcCD) + + CLISP is a Common Lisp implementation by Bruno Haible and Michael Stoll. + It mostly supports the Lisp described by `Common LISP: The Language (2nd + edition)' and the ANSI Common Lisp standard. CLISP includes an + interpreter, a byte-compiler, a large subset of CLOS, a foreign language + interface, and, for some machines, a screen editor. The user interface + language (English, German, French) is choosable at run time. Major + packages that run in CLISP include CLX & Garnet. CLISP needs only 2 MB + of memory & runs on many microcomputers (including MS-DOS systems, OS/2, + Windows NT, Amiga 500-4000, Acorn RISC PC) & Unix-like systems + (GNU/Linux, Sun4, SVR4, SGI, HP-UX, DEC Alpha, NeXTStep, & others). + + * Common Lisp **Note Forthcoming GNUs::* (LspEmcT, SrcCD) + + GNU Common Lisp (GCL, formerly known as Kyoto Common Lisp) is a compiler + & interpreter for Common Lisp. GCL is very portable & extremely + efficient on a wide class of applications, & compares favorably in + performance with commercial Lisps on several large theorem-prover & + symbolic algebra systems. GCL supports the CLtL1 specification but is + moving towards the proposed ANSI standard. + + GCL compiles to C & then uses the native optimizing C compiler (e.g., + GCC). A function with a fixed number of args & one value turns into a C + function of the same number of args, returning one value--so GCL is + maximally efficient on such calls. Its conservative garbage collector + gives great freedom to the C compiler to put Lisp values in registers. + It has a source level Lisp debugger for interpreted code & displays + source code in an Emacs window. Its profiler (based on the C profiling + tools) counts function calls & the time spent in each function. + + There is now a built-in interface to the Tk widget system. It runs in a + separate process, so users may monitor progress on Lisp computations or + interact with running computations via a windowing interface. + + There is also an Xlib interface via C (xgcl-2). CLX runs with GCL, as + does PCL (see "PCL" later in this article). *Note Forthcoming GNUs::, + for plans regarding GCL or for recent developments. + + GCL version 2.2 is released under the GNU Library General Public License. + + * CLX (LspEmcT, SrcCD) + + CLX is an X Window interface library for GCL. + + * `cpio' (DosBC, SrcCD, UtilD, UtilT) + + `cpio' is an archive program with all the features of SVR4 `cpio', + including support for the final POSIX 1003.1 `ustar' standard. `mt', a + program to position magnetic tapes, is included with `cpio'. + + * CVS (SrcCD, UtilT) + + CVS, the Concurrent Version System, manages software revision & release + control at a multi-developer, multi-directory, multi-group site. It + works best with RCS versions 4 and above, but will parse older RCS + formats, losing some of CVS's fancier features. (See Berliner, Brian, + "CVS-II: Parallelizing Software Development," `Proceedings of the Winter + 1990 USENIX Association Conference'; ask `office@usenix.org' how to get + a copy.) + + * DejaGnu (LangT, SrcCD) + + DejaGnu is a framework to test programs with a single front end for all + tests. The framework's flexibility & consistency makes it easy to write + tests. + + DejaGnu comes with `expect', which runs scripts to conduct dialogs with + programs. + + * Diffutils (DjgpD, DosBC, SrcCD, UtilT) + + GNU `diff' compares files showing line-by-line changes in several + flexible formats. It is much faster than traditional Unix versions. The + Diffutils package contains `diff', `diff3', `sdiff', & `cmp'. Recent + improvements include more consistent handling of character sets and a + new `diff' option to do all input/output in binary; this is useful on + some non-POSIX hosts. Plans for the Diffutils package include support + for internationalization (e.g., error messages in Chinese) and for some + non-Unix PC environments. + + * DJGPP (BinCD, DjgpD, DosBC) + + DJ Delorie has ported GCC/G++ (see "GCC" in this article) to i386s + running MS-DOS. DJGPP has a 32-bit i386 DOS extender with a symbolic + debugger; development libraries; & ports of Bison, `flex', & Binutils. + Full source code is provided. It needs at least 5MB of hard disk space + to install & 512K of RAM to use. It supports SVGA (up to 1024x768), XMS + & VDISK memory allocation, `himem.sys', VCPI (e.g., QEMM, DESQview, & + 386MAX), & DPMI (e.g., Windows 3.x, OS/2, QEMM, & QDPMI). + + The FSF offers it on the *Note Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM::, and on + the *Note DJGPP Diskettes::. FTP from `oak.oakland.edu' in + `/simtel/vendors/djgpp/' (or another SimTel mirror site). + + To join a DJGPP users mailing list, ask + `djgpp-request@sun.soe.clarkson.edu'. + + * `dld' (LangT, SrcCD) + + `dld' is a dynamic linker written by W. Wilson Ho. Linking your program + with the `dld' library allows you to dynamically load object files into + the running binary. Currently supported are VAX (Ultrix), Sun 3 (SunOS + 3.4 & 4.0), SPARC (SunOS 4.0), Sequent Symmetry (Dynix), & Atari ST. + + * `doschk' (DosBC, SrcCD, UtilT) + + This program is a utility to help software developers ensure that their + source file names are distinguishable on System V platforms with + 14-character filenames and on MS-DOS systems with 8+3 character + filenames. + + * `ecc' (LangT, SrcCD) + + `ecc' is a Reed-Solomon error correction checking program, which can + correct three byte errors in a block of 255 bytes and detect more severe + errors. Contact `paulf@stanford.edu' for more information. + + * `ed' (SrcCD, UtilT) + + `ed' is the standard text editor. It is line-oriented and can be used + interactively or in scripts. + + * Elib (DosBC, LspEmcT, SrcCD) + + Elib is a small library of Emacs Lisp functions, including routines for + using AVL trees and doubly-linked lists. + + * Elisp archive (SrcCD) + + This is a snapshot of Ohio State's GNU Emacs Lisp FTP Archive. FTP it + from `archive.cis.ohio-state.edu' in `/pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive'. + + * Emacs **Note Forthcoming GNUs:: for future plans.* + + In 1975, Richard Stallman developed the first Emacs, an extensible, + customizable real-time display editor & computing environment. GNU Emacs + is his second implementation. It offers true Lisp--smoothly integrated + into the editor--for writing extensions & provides an interface to the X + Window System. It runs on Unix, MS-DOS, & Windows NT. In addition to + its powerful native command set, Emacs has extensions which emulate the + editors vi & EDT (Digital's VMS editor). Emacs has many other features + which make it a full computing support environment. Source for the `GNU + Emacs Manual' & a reference card comes with the software. Sources for + the `GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual' & `Programming in Emacs Lisp: An + Introduction' are distributed in separate packages. *Note + Documentation::. + + * Emacs 18 (LspEmcT, SrcCD, VMSEmcsT) [FSFrc] + + Emacs 18.59 is the last release of version 18 from the FSF.

New features in Emacs 19 include: + multiple X windows ("frames" to Emacs), with a separate X window for the + minibuffer or a minibuffer attached to each X window; property lists + associated with regions of text in a buffer; multiple fonts & colors + defined by those properties; simplified/improved processing of function + keys, mouse clicks, and mouse movement; X selection processing, + including clipboard selections; hooks to be run if the point or mouse + moves outside a certain range; menu bars and popup menus defined by + keymaps; scrollbars; before- and after-change hooks; a source-level + debugger for Emacs Lisp programs; floating point numbers; improved + buffer allocation, including returning storage to the system when a + buffer is killed; interfacing with the X resource manager; many updated + libraries; integrated support for version control systems (RCS, CVS, & + SCCS); Autoconf based configuration; and support for European character + sets. + + Recent features include the ability to open frames on more than one X + display from a single Emacs job, operation on MS-DOS, MS Windows, and + Windows NT, displaying multiple views of an outline at the same time, + support for the Athena & Motif widgets, version control support for CVS + and for multiple branches, text properties for formatting text, commands + to edit text properties and save them in files, and GNU-standard + long-named command line options. + + Emacs 19.30 works on: Acorn RISC (RISCiX); Alliant FX/2800 (BSD); Alpha + (OSF/1); Apollo (DomainOS); Bull DPX/2 2nn & 3nn (SysV.3) & sps7 + (SysV.2); Clipper; Convex (BSD); Cubix QBx (SysV); Data General Aviion + (DGUX); DEC MIPS (Ultrix 4.2, OSF/1, not VMS); Elxsi 6400 (SysV); Gould + Power Node & NP1 (4.2 & 4.3BSD); Harris Night Hawk 1200, 3000, 4000 & + 5000 (cxux); Honeywell XPS100 (SysV); HP 9000 series 200, 300, 700, 800 + (but not 500) (4.3BSD; HP-UX 7, 8, 9); Intel i386/i486/Pentium + (GNU/Linux, 386BSD, AIX, BSDI/386, FreeBSD, Esix, ISC, MS-DOS (*note + MS-DOS Diskettes::., & *Note MS-DOS Book with CD-ROM::), NetBSD, + SCO3.2v4, Solaris, SysV, Xenix, WindowsNT); IBM RS/6000 (AIX 3.2) & + RT/PC (AIX, BSD); Motorola Delta 147 & 187 (SysV.3, SysV.4, m88kbcs); + National Semiconductor 32K (Genix); NeXT (BSD, Mach 2 w/ NeXTStep 3.0); + Paragon (OSF/1); Prime EXL (SysV); Pyramid (BSD); Sequent Symmetry (BSD, + ptx); Siemens RM400 & RM600 (SysV); SGI Iris 4D (Irix 4.x & 5.x); Sony + News/RISC (NewsOS); Stardent i860 (SysV); Sun 3 & 4, SPARC 1, 1+, 2, 10, + Classic (SunOS 4.0, 4.1, Solaris 2.0-2.3); Tadpole 68k (SysV); Tektronix + XD88 (SysV.3) & 4300 (BSD); & Titan P2 & P3 (SysV). + + Other configurations supported by Emacs 18 should work with few changes + in Emacs 19; as users tell us more about their experiences with different + systems, we will augment the list. Also see *Note Forthcoming GNUs::. + + * `es' (SrcCD, UtilT) + + `es' is an extensible shell (based on `rc') with first class functions, + lexical scope, exceptions and rich return values (i.e., functions can + return values other than just numbers). `es''s extensibility comes from + the ability to modify and extend the shell's built-in services, such as + path searching and redirection. Like `rc', it is great for both + interactive use and scripting, particularly since its quoting rules are + much less baroque than the C and Bourne shells. + + * `f2c' (LangT, SrcCD) + + `f2c' converts Fortran-77 source into C or C++, which can be compiled + with GCC or G++. Get bug fixes by FTP from site `netlib.att.com' or by + email from `netlib@research.att.com'. See the file + `/netlib/f2c/readme.Z' for a summary. Also see the GNU Fortran item + later in this article, and in *Note Forthcoming GNUs::. + + * `ffcall' (SrcCD) + + `ffcall' is a C library for implementing foreign function calls in + embedded interpreters by Bill Triggs and Bruno Haible. It allows C + functions with arbitrary argument lists and return types to be called or + emulated (callbacks). + + * Fileutils (DosBC, SrcCD, UtilT) + + The Fileutils work on files: `chgrp', `chmod', `chown', `cp', `dd', `df', + `dir', `du', `install', `ln', `ls', `mkdir', `mkfifo', `mknod', `mv', + `rm', `rmdir', `sync', `touch', & `vdir'. + + * Findutils (DosBC, SrcCD, UtilT) + + `find' is frequently used both interactively and in shell scripts to + find files which match certain criteria and perform arbitrary operations + on them. Also included are `locate', which scans a database for file + names that match a pattern, and `xargs', which applies a command to a + list of files. + + * Finger (SrcCD, UtilT) + + GNU Finger has more features than other finger programs. For sites with + many hosts, a single host may be designated as the finger "server" host + and other hosts at that site configured as finger "clients". The server + host collects information about who is logged in on the clients. To + finger a user at a GNU Finger site, a query to any of its client hosts + gets useful information. GNU Finger supports many customization + features, including user output filters and site programmable output for + special target names. + + * `flex' (BinCD, DjgpD, DosBC, LangT, SrcCD, UtilD) [FSFman, FSFrc] + + `flex' is a replacement for the `lex' scanner generator. `flex' was + written by Vern Paxson of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and generates + far more efficient scanners than `lex' does. Sources for the `Flex + Manual' and reference card are included (*note Documentation::.). + + * Fortran (`g77') **Note Forthcoming GNUs::* (LangT, SrcCD) + + GNU Fortran (`g77'), developed by Craig Burley, is available for public + beta testing on the Internet. For now, `g77' produces code that is + mostly object-compatible with `f2c' & uses the same run-time library + (`libf2c'). + + * Fontutils (SrcCD, UtilT) + + The Fontutils convert between font formats, create fonts for use with + Ghostscript or TeX (starting with a scanned type image & converting the + bitmaps to outlines), et al. It includes: `bpltobzr', `bzrto', + `charspace', `fontconvert', `gsrenderfont', `imageto', `imgrotate', + `limn', & `xbfe'. + + * GAWK (DosBC, LangT, SrcCD) [FSFman] + + GAWK is upwardly compatible with the latest POSIX specification of + `awk'. It also provides several useful extensions not found in other + `awk' implementations. Texinfo source for the `GAWK Manual' comes with + the software (*note Documentation::.). + + * GCC (BinCD, DjgpD, DosBC, LangT, SrcCD, VMSCmpT) [FSFman] + + Version 2 of the GNU C Compiler supports the languages C, C++, and + Objective-C; the source file name suffix or a compiler option selects + the language. Objective-C support was donated by NeXT. The runtime + support needed to run Objective-C programs is now distributed with GCC + (this does not include any Objective-C classes aside from `object', but + see "GNUStep" in *Note Forthcoming GNUs::). As much as possible, G++ is + kept compatible with the evolving draft ANSI standard, but not with + `cfront' (AT&T's compiler), which has been diverging from ANSI. + + The GNU C Compiler is a fairly portable optimizing compiler which + performs automatic register allocation, common sub-expression + elimination, invariant code motion from loops, induction variable + optimizations, constant propagation and copy propagation, delayed + popping of function call arguments, tail recursion elimination, + integration of inline functions and frame pointer elimination, + instruction scheduling, loop unrolling, filling of delay slots, leaf + function optimization, optimized multiplication by constants, a certain + amount of common subexpression elimination (CSE) between basic blocks + (though not all of the supported machine descriptions provide for + scheduling or delay slots), a feature for assigning attributes to + instructions, and many local optimizations that are automatically + deduced from the machine description. + + GCC can open-code most arithmetic on 64-bit values (type `long long + int'). It supports extended floating point (type `long double') on the + 68k; other machines will follow. + + GCC supports full ANSI C, traditional C, & GNU C extensions (including: + nested functions support, nonlocal gotos, & taking the address of a + label). + + GCC can generate a.out, COFF, ELF, & OSF-Rose files when used with a + suitable assembler. It can produce debugging information in these + formats: BSD stabs, COFF, ECOFF, ECOFF with stabs, & DWARF. + + GCC generates code for many CPUs, including the a29k, Alpha ARM AT&T + DSP1610 Clipper Convex cN Elxsi Fujitsu Gmicro i370, i860, i960, + MIL-STD-1750a, MIPS, ns32k, PDP-11, Pyramid, ROMP, RS/6000, SH, SPUR, + Tahoe, VAX, & we32k. Position-independent code is generated for the + Clipper, Hitachi H8/300, HP-PA (1.0 & 1.1), i386/i486/Pentium, m68k, + m88k, SPARC, & SPARClite. + + Operating systems supported include: GNU/Hurd, GNU/Linux, ACIS, AIX, AOS, + BSD, Clix, Concentrix, Ctix, DG/UX, Dynix, FreeBSD, Genix, HP-UX, Irix, + ISC, Luna, LynxOS, Minix, NetBSD, NewsOS, NeXTStep, OS/2, OSF, OSF-Rose, + RISCOS, SCO, Solaris 2, SunOS 4, System/370, SysV, Ultrix, Unos, VMS, & + Windows/NT. + + Using the configuration scheme for GCC, building a cross-compiler is as + easy as building a native compiler. + + Version 1 of GCC, G++, & libg++ are no longer maintained. + + Texinfo source for the `Using and Porting GNU CC' manual, is included + with GCC (*note Documentation::.). + + *Note Forthcoming GNUs::, for plans for later releases of GCC. + + * GDB (BinCD, DjgpD, DosBC, LangT, SrcCD) [FSFman, FSFrc] + + GDB, the GNU DeBugger, is a source-level debugger for C, C++, & Fortran. + + GDB can debug both C and C++ programs, and will work with executables + produced by many different compilers; however, C++ debugging will have + some limitations if you do not use GCC. + + GDB has a command line user interface, and Emacs has a GDB mode. Two X + interfaces (not distributed or maintained by the FSF) are: `gdbtk' (FTP + it from `ftp.cygnus.com' in directory `/pub/gdb'); and `xxgdb' (FTP it + from `ftp.x.org' in directory `/contrib/utilities'). + + Executable files and symbol tables are read via the BFD library, which + allows a single copy of GDB to debug programs with multiple object file + formats (e.g., a.out, COFF, ELF). Other features include a rich command + language, remote debugging over serial lines or TCP/IP, and watchpoints + (breakpoints triggered when the value of an expression changes). + + GDB uses a standard remote interface to a simulator library which (so + far) has simulators for the Hitachi H8/300, H8/500, Super-H, & Zilog + Z8001/2. + + GDB can perform cross-debugging. To say that GDB "targets" a platform + means it can perform native or cross-debugging for it. To say that GDB + can "host" a given platform means that it can be built on it, but cannot + necessarily debug native programs. + + GDB can: + + * "target" & "host": Amiga 3000 (Amix), DEC Alpha (OSF/1), DECstation + 3100 & 5000 (Ultrix), HP 9000/300 (BSD, HP-UX), HP 9000/700 (HP-UX + 9, 10), i386 (GNU/Hurd, GNU/Linux, BSD, FreeBSD, LynxOS, NetBSD, + SCO), IBM RS/6000 (AIX, LynxOS), Motorola Delta m88k (System V, + CX/UX), PC532 (NetBSD), Motorola m68k MVME-167 (LynxOS), NCR 3000 + (SVR4), SGI (Irix V3, V4, V5), SONY News (NewsOS 3.x), SPARC + (LynxOS, NetBSD, Solaris, & SunOS 4.1 ) Sun-3 (SunOS 4.1), & + Ultracomputer (a29k running Sym1). + + * "target", but not "host": AMD 29000 (COFF & a.out), Hitachi H8/300, + Hitachi SH, i386 (a.out, COFF, OS/9000), i960 (Nindy, VxWorks), + m68k/m68332 (a.out, COFF, VxWorks), MIPS (ELF, IDT ecoff), Fujitsu + SPARClite (a.out, COFF), & Z8000. + + * "host", but not "target": IBM RT/PC (AIX), HP/Apollo 68k (BSD), & + Apple Macintosh (MacOS). + + Sources for the manual, `Debugging with GDB', and a reference card are + included (*note Documentation::.). + + * `gdbm' (LangT, SrcCD, UtilD) + + `gdbm' is the GNU replacement for the traditional `dbm' and `ndbm' + libraries.

Features include the + ability to use the fonts provided by the platform on which Ghostscript + runs (X Window System & Microsoft (MS) Windows), resulting in much + better-looking screen displays; improved text file printing (like + `enscript'); a utility to extract the text from a Postscript language + document; a much more reliable (and faster) MS Windows implementation; + support for MS C/C++ 7.0; drivers for many new printers ( e.g. the + SPARCprinter), & for TIFF/F (Fax) file format; many more Postscript Level + 2 facilities, including most of the color space facilities (but not + patterns); & the ability to switch between Level 1 & Level 2 + dynamically. Version 2.6.2 adds a LaserJet 4 driver & several important + bug fixes to version 2.6.1. + + Ghostscript executes commands in the Postscript language by writing + directly to a printer, drawing on an X window, or writing to files for + printing later or manipulating with other graphics programs. + + Ghostscript includes a C-callable graphics library (for client programs + that do not want to deal with the Postscript language). It also supports + i386/i486/Pentiums running MS-DOS with EGA, VGA or SuperVGA graphics (but + please do *not* ask the FSF staff any questions about this; we do not + use MS-DOS). + + * Ghostview (DosBC, SrcCD, UtilT) + + Tim Theisen, `ghostview@cs.wisc.edu', created Ghostview, a previewer for + multi-page files with an X Window interface. Ghostview & Ghostscript + work together; Ghostview creates a viewing window & Ghostscript draws in + it. + + * GIT (SrcCD, UtilT) + + GIT is a set of interactive tools: an extensible file system browser, an + ASCII/hex file viewer, a process viewer/killer, & other related + utilities & shell scripts. It can be used to increase the speed & + efficiency of many daily tasks, such as copying & moving files & + directories, invoking editors, compressing/uncompressing files, creating + & expanding archives, compiling programs, sending mail, etc. It looks + nice, has colors (if the standard ANSI color sequences are supported), & + is user-friendly. + + * `gmp' **Note Forthcoming GNUs::* (LangT, SrcCD) + + GNU `mp' is a library for arbitrary precision arithmetic on signed + integers and rational numbers. It has a rich set of functions with a + regular interface. + + * GN (SrcCD) + + GN is a gopher/HTTP server. It recognizes whether the request came from + an HTTP (World Wide Web) or gopher client and responds accordingly. + + * Gnans (SrcCD) + + Gnans is a program (and language) for the numerical study of + deterministic and stochastic dynamical systems. The dynamical systems + may evolve in continuous or discrete time. Gnans has graphical & + command line interfaces. + + * GNATS (SrcCD, UtilT) + + GNATS (GNats: A Tracking System, not to be confused with GNAT, The GNU + Ada Translator) is a bug-tracking system. It is based upon the paradigm + of a central site or organization which receives problem reports and + negotiates their resolution by electronic mail. Although it has been + used primarily as a software bug-tracking system so far, it is + sufficiently generalized that it could be used for handling system + administration issues, project management, or any number of other + applications. + + * `gnuplot' (SrcCD, UtilT, WdwsD) + + `gnuplot' is an interactive program for plotting mathematical + expressions and data. It plots both curves (2 dimensions) & surfaces (3 + dimensions). Curiously, it was neither written nor named for the GNU + Project; the name is a coincidence. Various GNU programs use `gnuplot'. + + * `gnuserv' (LspEmcT, SrcCD) + + `gnuserv' is a enhanced version of Emacs' `emacsclient' program. It + lets the user direct a running Emacs to edit files or evaluate arbitrary + Emacs Lisp constructs from another process. + + * GnuGo (SrcCD, UtilT) + + GnuGo plays the game of Go (Wei-Chi); version 1.2 was released with minor + changes for portability, but it is not yet very sophisticated. + + * `gperf' (LangT, SrcCD) + + `gperf' generates perfect hash tables. The C version is in package + cperf. The C++ version is in libg++. Both produce hash functions in + either C or C++. + + * Graphics (SrcCD, UtilT) + + GNU Graphics produces x-y plots from ASCII or binary data. It outputs + in Postscript, Tektronix 4010 compatible, and Unix device-independent + "plot" formats. It has a previewer for the X Window System. Features + include a `spline' interpolation program; examples of shell scripts + using `graph' and `plot'; a statistics toolkit; and output in TekniCAD + TDA and ln03 file formats. Email bugs or queries to Rich Murphey, + `Rich@lamprey.utmb.edu'. + + * grep (DosBC, SrcCD, UtilT) + + This package has GNU `grep', `egrep', and `fgrep', which find lines that + match entered patterns. They are much faster than the traditional Unix + versions. + + * Groff (DjgpD, DosBC, SrcCD, UtilT) + + Groff is a document formatting system based on a device-independent + version of `troff' & includes: `eqn', `nroff', `pic', `refer', `tbl', + `troff'; the `man', `ms', & `mm' macros; & drivers for Postscript, TeX + `dvi' format, and typewriter-like devices. Groff's `mm' macro package + is almost compatible with the DWB `mm' macros with several extensions. + Also included is a modified version of the Berkeley `me' macros and an + enhanced version of the X11 `xditview' previewer. A driver for the + LaserJet 4 series of printers is currently in test. Written in C++, + these programs can be compiled with GNU C++ Version 2.5 or later. + + Groff users are encouraged to contribute enhancements.

It was designed at +MIT and other universities to teach students the art of programming and to +research new parallel programming constructs and compilation techniques. + +This tape now has MIT Scheme 7.3, which conforms to the "Revised^4 Report On +the Algorithmic Language Scheme" (MIT AI Lab Memo 848b), for which TeX source +is included. It is written partly in C, but is presently hard to bootstrap. +Binaries that can be used to bootstrap it exist for: HP 9000 series 300, 400, +700, & 800 (running HP-UX 9.0), NeXT (NeXT OS 2 or 3.2), DEC Alpha (OSF/1), +IBM RS/6000 (AIX), Sun-3 or Sun-4 (SunOS 4.1), DECstation 3100/5100 (Ultrix +4.0), Sony NeWS-3250 (NEWS OS 5.01), & Intel i386 (MS-DOS, Windows 3.1 or NT). +If your system is not on this list & you don't enjoy the bootstrap challenge, +see "JACAL" in *Note GNU Software::. + + + +X11 Tapes +--------- + +The two X11 tapes contain Version 11, Release 6 of the X Window System. The +first tape has all of the core software, documentation, & some contributed +clients. We call this the "required" X tape since it is necessary for +running X or Emacs under X. The second, "optional" tape has contributed +libraries & toolkits, the Andrew User Interface System, games, etc. + +The X11 Required tape also contains all fixes and patches released to date. +We update this tape as new fixes and patches are released for programs on +both tapes. *Note Tape & CD-ROM Subscription Service::. + +While supplies last, we will distribute X11R5 on the *Note November 1993 +Source Code CD-ROM::. + + + +Berkeley 4.4BSD-Lite Tape +------------------------- + +The "4.4BSD-Lite" release is the last from the Computer Systems Research +Group at the University of California at Berkeley. It has most of the BSD +software system, except for a few files that remain proprietary. It is much +more complete than the previous "Net2" release. + + + +VMS Emacs and VMS Compiler Tapes +-------------------------------- + +We offer two VMS tapes. One has just GNU Emacs 18.59 (none of the other +software on the *Note Lisps/Emacs Tape::, is included). The other has GCC +2.3.3, Bison 1.19 (to compile GCC), `gas' 1.38 (to assemble GCC's output), and +some library and include files (none of the other software on the *Note +Languages Tape::, is included). We are not aware of a GDB port for VMS. +Both VMS tapes have DEC VAX executables from which you can bootstrap, as the +DEC VMS C compiler cannot compile GCC. We do not have executables for DEC +Alpha VMS systems. Please do not ask us to devote effort to VMS support, +because it is peripheral to the GNU Project. + + + +CD-ROMs +******* + +We offer these CD-ROMs: + + * Several editions of our *Note Source Code CD-ROMs::. + + * *Note December 1995 Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM::. + + * *Note December 1994 Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM::. + + * *Note December 1993 Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM::. + + * *Note MS-DOS Book with CD-ROM::. + + * *Note Debian GNU/Linux Book with CD-ROM::. + +Our CD-ROMs are in ISO 9660 format & can be mounted as a read-only file +system on most computers. If your driver supports it you can mount each CD +with "Rock Ridge" extensions (the MS-DOS CD-ROM is only in ISO 9660 format), +& it will look just like an ordinary Unix file system, rather than one full +of truncated & otherwise mangled names that fit vanilla ISO 9660. + +You can build most of the software without copying the sources off the CD. +You only need enough disk space for object files and intermediate build +targets. + + + +Pricing of the GNU CD-ROMs +-------------------------- + +If a business or organization is ultimately paying, the December 1995 Source +CDs costs $240. It costs $60 if you, an individual, are paying out of your +own pocket. The December 1995 Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM costs $220 for +a business or organization, and $55 for an individual. + + + +What do the individual and company prices mean? +............................................... + +The software on our disks is free; anyone can copy it and anyone can run it. +What we charge for is the physical disk and the service of distribution. + +We charge two different prices depending on who is buying. When a company or +other organization buys the December 1995 Source CD-ROMs, we charge $240. +When an individual buys the same CD-ROM, we charge just $60. This +distinction is not a matter of who is allowed to use the software. In either +case, once you have a copy, you can distribute as many copies as you wish and +there's no restriction on who can have or run them. The price distinction is +entirely a matter of what kind of entity pays for the CD. + +You, the reader, are certainly an individual, not a company. If you are +buying a disk "in person", then you are probably doing so as an individual. +But if you expect to be reimbursed by your employer, then the disk is really +for the company; so please pay the company price and get reimbursed for it. +We won't try to check up on you--we use the honor system--so please cooperate. + +Buying CDs at the company price is very helpful for GNU; just +140 Source CDs at that price support an FSF programmer or tech writer for a +year. + + + +Why is there an individual price? +................................. + +In the past, our distribution tapes have been ordered mainly by companies. +The CD at the price of $240 provides them with all of our software for a much +lower price than they would previously have paid for six different tapes. To +lower the price more would cut into the FSF's funds very badly and decrease +the software development we can do. + +However, for individuals, $240 is too high a price; hardly anyone could +afford that. So we decided to make CDs available to individuals at the lower +price of $60. + + + +Is there a maximum price? +......................... + +Our stated prices are minimum prices. Feel free to pay a higher price if you +wish to support GNU development more. The sky's the limit; we will accept as +high a price as you can offer. Or simply give a donation (tax-deductible in +the U.S.) to the Free Software Foundation, a tax-exempt public charity. + + + +December 1995 Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM +-------------------------------------------- + +We now have the third edition of our CD-ROM that has binaries and complete +sources for GNU compiler tools for some systems which lack a compiler. This +enables the people who use these systems to compile GNU and other free +software without having to buy a proprietary compiler. You can also use +these GNU tools to compile your own C/C++/Objective-C programs. Older +editions of this CD are available while supplies last at a reduced price; see +the *note Free Software Foundation Order Form::.. + +We hope to have more systems on each update of this CD.

This will allow users +of those systems to compile GNU and other free software without having to buy +a proprietary compiler. + +The CD-ROM is in ISO 9660 format and can be mounted as a read-only file +system on most operating systems. If your driver supports it you can mount +the CD-ROM with "Rock Ridge" extensions and it will look just like an +ordinary Unix file system, rather than one full of truncated and otherwise +mangled names that fit the vanilla ISO 9660 specifications. + +We hope to have more systems included with each update of this CD-ROM.

Please do NOT contact us about this book +until we announce it on our mailing lists (ask +`info-gnu-request@prep.ai.mit.edu' to subscribe), because it just slows us +down. + +A CD will be inside the book with sources & binaries for Debian GNU/Linux, +which is a complete operating system for i386/i486/Pentium. It is a +GNU/Linux system--that is to say, a variant GNU system which uses Linux as +the kernel. (All the systems now available that use the Linux kernel are +GNU/Linux systems, see item "Linux" in *Note Free Software for +Microcomputers::.) + +Debian is being developed by Ian Murdock and the Debian Association in +conjunction with the Free Software Foundation. We are distributing it as an +interim measure until the GNU kernel (the Hurd) is ready for users. + +For details on Debian & how to help, see URL: `http://www.debian.org/' or +FTP, `/pub/gnu/GNUinfo/DEBIAN' from a GNU FTP host (*note How to Get GNU +Software::.). FTP Debian under `/debian' from `ftp.debian.org'. + + + +MS-DOS Diskettes +**************** + +The FSF distributes some of the GNU software ported to MS-DOS, on 3.5inch +1.44MB diskettes. These disks have both sources and executables. + + + +DJGPP Diskettes +--------------- + +We offer DJGPP on 30 diskettes. For further details, see *Note GNU +Software::. The DJGPP diskettes contain the following: + + * Binutils 2.5.2 + * Bison 1.22 + * Diffutils 2.6 + * DJGPP 1.12m4 + * flex 2.4.7 + * GCC/G++ 2.6.3 + * GDB 4.12 + * Groff 1.09 + * gzip 1.24 + * libg++ 2.6.2 + * make 3.71 + * patch 2.1 + * sed 1.18 + * Texinfo 3.1 + + + +Emacs Diskettes +--------------- + +Two versions of GNU Emacs are included on the Emacs diskettes we distribute: +GNU Emacs version 19.29 handles 8-bit character sets; the other, MULE version +2.2, handles 16-bit character sets including Kanji. + + + +Selected Utilities Diskettes +---------------------------- + +The GNUish MS-DOS Project ported GNU software to PC compatibles. Though +GNUish is no longer active, users still ask for these ports done some years +ago. We offer these ports on five diskettes. In general, the ports run on +8086/80286-based 16-bit machines; an 80386 is not required. Some are +necessarily missing features. + +Included are: `cpio', `diff', `find', `flex', `gdbm', `grep', `indent', +`less', `m4', `make', `ptx', RCS, `sed', `shar', `sort', & Texinfo. + + + +Windows Diskette +---------------- + +We offer GNU Chess and `gnuplot' for Microsoft Windows on a single diskette. + + + +Tape & CD-ROM Subscription Service +********************************** + +If you do not have net access, our subscription service enables you to stay +current with the latest GNU developments. For a one-time cost equivalent to +three tapes or CD-ROMs (plus shipping in some cases), we will ship you four +new versions of the tape of your choice or the Source Code CD-ROM. The tapes +are sent each quarter; the CD-ROMs are sent as they are issued (currently +twice a year, but we hope to make it more frequent). + +Regularly, we will send you a new version of a Lisps/Emacs, Languages, +Utilities, or X Window System (X11R6) Required tape, or the Source CD-ROM. +The MIT Scheme and X Window System Optional tapes are not changed often +enough to warrant quarterly updates. We do not yet know if we will be +offering subscriptions to the Compiler Tools Binaries or our new Books with +CD-ROM. + +Since Emacs 19 is on the Lisps/Emacs Tape and the Source CD-ROM, a +subscription to either is an easy way to keep current with Emacs 19 as it +evolves. + +A subscription is an easy way to keep up with the regular bug fixes to the X +Window System. We update the X11R6 Required tape as fixes and patches are +issued throughout the year. Each edition of the *Note Source Code CD-ROMs::, +also has updated sources for the required part of the X Window System. + +Please note: In two cases, you must pay 4 times the normal shipping required +for a single order when you pay for each subscription. If you're in Alaska, +Hawaii, or Puerto Rico you must add $20.00 for shipping for each +subscription. If you're outside of U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico, you must +add $80.00 for each subscription. See "Unix and VMS Software" and "Shipping +Instructions" on the *note Free Software Foundation Order Form::.. + + + +FSF T-shirt +*********** + +There is a GNU & improved T-shirt. The front has the GNU Emacs Lisp code +`(USE 'GNU)' with "`()'" being the dancing parentheses from the cover of our +`GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual' (drawn by Berkeley, CA artist Etienne +Suvasa). The back of the shirt is still imprinted with the Preamble to the +GNU General Public License. + +These shirts come in two colors, Natural & Black. Natural is an off-white, +unbleached, undyed, environment-friendly cotton, printed with black ink, & is +great for tye-dyeing or displaying as is. Black is printed with white ink & +is perfect for late night hacking. All shirts are thick 100% cotton, & come +in sizes M, L, XL, & XXL. GNU shirts often create spontaneous friendships at +technical conferences and on major university campuses!
