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.

See `/pub/gnu/GNUinfo/DISTRIB' and -`/pub/gnu/GNUinfo/ORDERS'. - -* What format are the *.gz files in? - -Because the unix `compress' utility is patented (by two separate -patents, in fact), we cannot use it; it's not free software. - -Therefore, the GNU Project has chosen a new compression utility, -`gzip', which is free of any known software patents and which tends to -compress better anyway. As of March 1993, all compressed files in the -GNU anonymous FTP area, `prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu', have been -converted to the new format. Files compressed with this new -compression program end in `.gz' (as opposed to `compress'-compressed -files, which end in `.Z'). - -Gzip can uncompress `compress'-compressed files and `pack'-compressed -files (which end in `.z'). This is possible because the various -decompression algorithms are not patented---only compression is. - -The gzip program is available from any GNU mirror site (see -`/pub/gnu/GNUinfo/FTP' for a list of mirror sites) in shar, tar, or -gzipped tar format (for those who already have a prior version of gzip -and want faster data transmission). It works on virtually every unix -system, MSDOS, OS/2, and VMS. - -* Available Software - -** GNU Emacs - -The GNU Emacs distribution includes: - - manual source in TeX format. - - an enhanced regex (regular expression) library. - -See files `/pub/gnu/GNUinfo/MACHINES*' for the status of porting Emacs -to various machines and operating systems. - -** C Scheme - a block structured dialect of LISP. - -The Free Software Foundation distributes C Scheme for the MIT Scheme -Project on its Scheme tapes. The full ftp distribution can be gotten -via anonymous FTP from altdorf.ai.mit.edu in directory /archive. - -Problems with the C Scheme distribution and its ftp distribution -should be referred to: <bug-cscheme@martigny.ai.mit.edu>.
