-How to get GNU Software by Internet FTP or by UUCP. Last updated 1999-01-20
-
-* Please send improvements to this file to gnu@gnu.org.
-
-* 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. This is exactly the same warranty that the commercial
-software companies offer: None. If the distribution is incomplete or the
-media fails, you can always download a replacement from any of the GNU
-mirrors, free of charge.
-
-* Updates
-
-A possibly more up-to-date list of GNU FTP sites is at
- http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html
-
-* How to FTP
-
-Use the ftp program on your system (ask locally if you can't find it)
-to connect to the host you are ftping from. Unless indicated
-otherwise, login in as user "anonymous", with password: "your e-mail
-address" and set "binary" mode (to transfer all eight bits in each
-byte).
-
-ALWAYS USE BINARY/IMAGE MODE TO TRANSFER THESE FILES!
-Text mode does not work for tar files or compressed files.
-
-* GNU Software and How To FTP It
-
-GNU software is available on ftp.gnu.org under the directory /gnu.
-diff files to convert between versions exist for some of these
-programs. Some programs have misc support files as well. Have a look
-on ftp.gnu.org to see which ones. In most cases, the tar or diff
-files are compressed with the `gzip' program; this is indicated with
-the .gz suffix.
-
-Descriptions of GNU software are available at
- http://www.gnu.org/software/software.html
-
-* Alternative Internet FTP Sources
-
-Please do NOT use a site outside your country, until you have checked
-all sites inside your country, and then your continent. Trans-ocean
-TCP/IP links are very expensive and usually very low speed.
-
-The canonical GNU ftp site is located at ftp.gnu.org/gnu.
-You should probably use one of the many mirrors of that site - the
-mirrors will be less busy, and you can find one closer to your site.

-* How to FTP GNU Emacs
-
-Emacs is in the directory /gnu/emacs on ftp.gnu.org. The emacs
-distribution itself has a filename in the form emacs-M.N.tar.gz, where
-M and N stand for the version numbers; the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual
-is in a separate file, named elisp-manual-NN.tar.gz.
-
-* Scheme and How to FTP It
-
-The latest distribution version of C Scheme is available via anonymous FTP
-from swiss-ftp.ai.mit.edu in /pub/scheme-X.X/ (where X.X is some version
-number).
-
-Read the files INSTALL and README in the top level C Scheme directory.
-
-* TeX and How to Obtain It
-
-We don't distribute TeX now, but it is free software.
-
-TeX is a document formatter that is used, among other things, by the FSF
-for all its documentation. You will need it if you want to make printed
-manuals.
-
-TeX is freely redistributable. You can get it by ftp, tape, or CD/ROM.
-
-** For FTP instructions, retrieve the file
-ftp.cs.umb.edu/pub/tex/unixtex.ftp. (We don't include it here because it
-changes relatively frequently. Sorry.)
-
-** A minimal TeX collection (enough to process Texinfo files, anyway)
-is included on the GNU source CD-ROM. See the file ORDERS in this
-directory for more information.
-
-* VMS FTP sites with GNU Software
-You can anonymously ftp a VMS version of GNU emacs from:
- - ftp.vms.stacken.kth.se:[.GNU-VMS] - GNU Emacs and some other VMS
-ports (and some VMS binaries) of GNU software
- - mango.rsmas.miami.edu has a VMS version of the GCC/G++ compiler.
-Contact angel@flipper.miami.edu (angel li) for details.
- - RIGEL.EFD.LTH.SE [130.235.48.3] - GNU Emacs
-
-* Getting GNU software in Great Britain
-
-jpo@cs.nott.ac.uk is willing to distribute those GNU sources he has
-available. The smaller items are available from the info-server (send
-to info-server@cs.nott.ac.uk); the larger items by negotiation. Due to
-communication costs this service is only available within the UK.
-
-BattenIG@computer-science.birmingham.ac.uk (aka
-I.G.Batten@fulcrum.bt.co.uk) is also willing to distribute those GNU
-sources he has.
-
-wizards@doc.ic.ac.uk is willing to distribute those GNU sources they have
-along with most other freely distributable software. The SunSITE archive
-on SunSITE.doc.ic.ac.uk (193.63.255.4) is available via ftp, http, fsp,
-gopher, NFS and Lanmanger over IP (SMB), and telnet.
-
-UK sites with just anonymous FTP access are in the above list.
-
-* Getting GNU software via UUCP
-
-OSU is distributing via UUCP: most GNU software, MIT C Scheme,
-Compress, News, RN, NNTP, Patch, some Appletalk stuff, some of the
-Internet Requests For Comment (RFC) et al.. See their periodic
-postings on the Usenet newsgroup comp.sources.d for informational
-updates. Current details from <staff@cis.ohio-state.edu> or
-<...!osu-cis!staff>.
-
-Information on how to uucp some GNU programs is available via
-electronic mail from: uunet!hutch!barber, hqda-ai!merlin, acornrc!bob,
-hao!scicom!qetzal!upba!ugn!nepa!denny, ncar!noao!asuvax!hrc!dan,
-bigtex!james (aka james@bigtex.cactus.org), oli-stl!root,
-src@contrib.de (Germany), toku@dit.co.jp (Japan) and info@ftp.uu.net.
-
-* 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 Unix), which will run Unix user
-programs. For more information on GNU and the Foundation, contact us
-at the above address, or see our web site at http://www.gnu.org.
-
-Ordering a GNU Source Code CD-ROM or Source Code CD-ROM Subscription
-is a good way for your organization to help support our work.
