2 | How to get GNU Software by Internet FTP or by UUCP. Last updated 1999-01-20 | |

4 | * Please send improvements to this file to gnu@gnu.org. | |

6 | * No Warranties | |
7 | ||
8 | We distribute software in the hope that it will be useful, but without | |
9 | any warranty. No author or distributor of this software accepts | |
10 | responsibility to anyone for the consequences of using it or for | |
11 | whether it serves any particular purpose or works at all, unless he | |
4eb84076 EZ |
12 | says so in writing. This is exactly the same warranty that the proprietary |
13 | software companies offer: None. If the distribution is incomplete or the | |
8a1ef00c DL |
14 | media fails, you can always download a replacement from any of the GNU |
15 | mirrors, free of charge. | |
16 | ||
17 | * Updates | |
18 | ||
4eb84076 | 19 | You can always find the most recent version of this list of GNU FTP sites at |

21 | ||
22 | * How to FTP | |
23 | ||
24 | Use the ftp program on your system (ask locally if you can't find it) | |
25 | to connect to the host you are ftping from. Unless indicated | |
26 | otherwise, login in as user "anonymous", with password: "your e-mail | |
27 | address" and set "binary" mode (to transfer all eight bits in each | |
28 | byte). | |
29 | ||
30 | ALWAYS USE BINARY/IMAGE MODE TO TRANSFER THESE FILES! | |
31 | Text mode does not work for tar files or compressed files. | |
32 | ||
33 | * GNU Software and How To FTP It | |
34 | ||
35 | GNU software is available on ftp.gnu.org under the directory /gnu. | |
36 | diff files to convert between versions exist for some of these | |
37 | programs. Some programs have misc support files as well. Have a look | |
38 | on ftp.gnu.org to see which ones. In most cases, the tar or diff | |
39 | files are compressed with the `gzip' program; this is indicated with | |
4eb84076 EZ |
40 | the .gz suffix. Binaries for gzip can be downloaded from |
41 | http://www.gzip.org. | |

43 | Descriptions of GNU software are available at | |
44 | http://www.gnu.org/software/software.html | |
177c0ea7 | 45 | and in the Free Software Directory at |
4eb84076 | 46 | http://www.gnu.org/directory/index.html |

50 | The canonical GNU ftp site is located at ftp.gnu.org/gnu. |
51 | You should probably use one of the many mirrors of that site - the | |
52 | mirrors will be less busy, and you can find one closer to your site. | |

182 | * How to FTP GNU Emacs | |
183 | ||
184 | Emacs is in the directory /gnu/emacs on ftp.gnu.org. The emacs | |
185 | distribution itself has a filename in the form emacs-M.N.tar.gz, where | |
4eb84076 EZ |
186 | M and N stand for the version numbers; the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual |
187 | is in a separate file, named elisp-manual-NN.tar.gz. | |
8a1ef00c DL |
188 | |
189 | * Scheme and How to FTP It | |
190 | ||
191 | The latest distribution version of C Scheme is available via anonymous FTP | |
192 | from swiss-ftp.ai.mit.edu in /pub/scheme-X.X/ (where X.X is some version | |
193 | number). | |
194 | ||
195 | Read the files INSTALL and README in the top level C Scheme directory. | |
196 | ||
197 | * TeX and How to Obtain It | |
198 | ||
199 | We don't distribute TeX now, but it is free software. | |
200 | ||
201 | TeX is a document formatter that is used, among other things, by the FSF | |
202 | for all its documentation. You will need it if you want to make printed | |
203 | manuals. | |
204 | ||
205 | TeX is freely redistributable. You can get it by ftp, tape, or CD/ROM. | |
206 | ||
207 | ** For FTP instructions, retrieve the file | |
208 | ftp.cs.umb.edu/pub/tex/unixtex.ftp. (We don't include it here because it | |
209 | changes relatively frequently. Sorry.) | |
210 | ||
211 | ** A minimal TeX collection (enough to process Texinfo files, anyway) | |
212 | is included on the GNU source CD-ROM. See the file ORDERS in this | |
213 | directory for more information. | |
214 | ||
4eb84076 | 215 | * GNU Software for VMS |
8a1ef00c | 216 | |
1ab1d7c4 | 217 | - http://www.lp.se/gnu-vms/- lots of GNU ports to VMS, |
4eb84076 | 218 | including Emacs 19, GCC, Bison, Make, RCS. |
8a1ef00c DL |
219 | |
220 | * If You Like The Software | |
221 | ||
222 | If you like the software developed and distributed by the Free | |
223 | Software Foundation, please express your satisfaction with a donation. | |
224 | Your donations will help to support the Foundation and make our future | |
4eb84076 EZ |
225 | efforts successful. The Foundation continues to improve GNU programs |
226 | and encourage the writing of new free software to enhance GNU/Linux | |
227 | and GNU/Hurd systems. For more information on GNU and the Foundation, | |
228 | see our web site at http://www.gnu.org. | |
8a1ef00c DL |
229 | |
230 | Ordering a GNU Source Code CD-ROM or Source Code CD-ROM Subscription | |
4eb84076 EZ |
231 | is a good way for your organization to help support our work. You can |
232 | also purchase printed manuals, reference cards, t-shirts, and other | |
233 | items. See our online ordering form at http://order.fsf.org for | |
234 | details. |
