-
-* GNU and the Free Software Foundation
-
-Project GNU is organized as part of the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
-The Free Software Foundation has the following goals: 1) to create GNU
-as a full development/operating system.  2) to distribute GNU and
-other useful software with source code and permission to copy and
-redistribute.
-
-Further information on the rationale for GNU is in file
-`/pub/gnu/GNUinfo/GNU' (all files referred to are on the Internet host
-prep.ai.mit.edu).
-
-Information on GNU Internet mailing lists and gnUSENET newsgroups can
-be found in `/pub/gnu/GNUinfo/MAILINGLISTS'.
-
-* How To Get The Software
-
-The easiest way to get a copy of the distribution is from someone else
-who has it.  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.  Ftp and uucp
-information is in `/pub/gnu/GNUinfo/FTP'.
-
-If you cannot get a copy any of these ways, or if you would feel more
-confident getting copies straight from us, or if you would like to get
-some funds to us to help in our efforts, you can order one from the
-Free Software Foundation.  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>.  There are
-two general mailing lists: <info-cscheme@martigny.ai.mit.edu>and
-<scheme@mc.lcs.mit.edu>.  Send requests to join either list to:
-<info-cscheme-request@martigny.ai.mit.edu> or
-<scheme-request@mc.lcs.mit.edu>.
-
-** Other GNU Software
-
-A full list of available software are in `/pub/gnu/GNUinfo/ORDERS' and
-`/pub/gnu/DESCRIPTIONS'.
-
-* No Warranties
-
-We distribute software in the hope that it will be useful, but without
-any warranty.  No author or distributor of this software accepts
-responsibility to anyone for the consequences of using it or for
-whether it serves any particular purpose or works at all, unless he
-says so in writing.
-
-* If You Like The Software
-
-If you like the software developed and distributed by the Free
-Software Foundation, please express your satisfaction with a donation.
-Your donations will help to support the foundation and make our future
-efforts successful, including a complete development and operating
-system, called GNU (Gnu's Not Un*x), which will run Un*x user
-programs.  Please note that donations and funds raised by selling
-tapes, CD-ROMs, and floppy diskettes are the major source of funding
-for our work.
-
-For more information on GNU and the Foundation, contact us at Internet
-address <gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu> or the foundation's US Mail address
-found in file `/pub/gnu/GNUinfo/ORDERS'.
