2How 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
8We distribute software in the hope that it will be useful, but without
9any warranty. No author or distributor of this software accepts
10responsibility to anyone for the consequences of using it or for
11whether it serves any particular purpose or works at all, unless he
12says so in writing. This is exactly the same warranty that the commercial
13software companies offer: None. If the distribution is incomplete or the
14media fails, you can always download a replacement from any of the GNU
15mirrors, free of charge.

22* How to FTP
23
24Use the ftp program on your system (ask locally if you can't find it)
25to connect to the host you are ftping from. Unless indicated
26otherwise, login in as user "anonymous", with password: "your e-mail
27address" and set "binary" mode (to transfer all eight bits in each
28byte).
29
30ALWAYS USE BINARY/IMAGE MODE TO TRANSFER THESE FILES!
31Text mode does not work for tar files or compressed files.
32
33* GNU Software and How To FTP It
34
35GNU software is available on ftp.gnu.org under the directory /gnu.
36diff files to convert between versions exist for some of these
37programs. Some programs have misc support files as well. Have a look
38on ftp.gnu.org to see which ones. In most cases, the tar or diff
39files are compressed with the `gzip' program; this is indicated with
40the .gz suffix.
41
42Descriptions of GNU software are available at
43 http://www.gnu.org/software/software.html
44
45* Alternative Internet FTP Sources
46
47Please do NOT use a site outside your country, until you have checked
48all sites inside your country, and then your continent. Trans-ocean
49TCP/IP links are very expensive and usually very low speed.
50
51The canonical GNU ftp site is located at ftp.gnu.org/gnu.
52You should probably use one of the many mirrors of that site - the
53mirrors will be less busy, and you can find one closer to your site.

178* How to FTP GNU Emacs
179
180Emacs is in the directory /gnu/emacs on ftp.gnu.org. The emacs
181distribution itself has a filename in the form emacs-M.N.tar.gz, where
2bf92717 182M and N stand for the version numbers.

183
184* Scheme and How to FTP It
185
186The latest distribution version of C Scheme is available via anonymous FTP
187from swiss-ftp.ai.mit.edu in /pub/scheme-X.X/ (where X.X is some version
188number).
189
190Read the files INSTALL and README in the top level C Scheme directory.
191
192* TeX and How to Obtain It
193
194We don't distribute TeX now, but it is free software.
195
196TeX is a document formatter that is used, among other things, by the FSF
197for all its documentation. You will need it if you want to make printed
198manuals.
199
200TeX is freely redistributable. You can get it by ftp, tape, or CD/ROM.
201
202** For FTP instructions, retrieve the file
203ftp.cs.umb.edu/pub/tex/unixtex.ftp. (We don't include it here because it
204changes relatively frequently. Sorry.)
205
206** A minimal TeX collection (enough to process Texinfo files, anyway)
207is included on the GNU source CD-ROM. See the file ORDERS in this
208directory for more information.
209
210* VMS FTP sites with GNU Software
211You can anonymously ftp a VMS version of GNU emacs from:
212 - ftp.vms.stacken.kth.se:[.GNU-VMS] - GNU Emacs and some other VMS
213ports (and some VMS binaries) of GNU software
214 - mango.rsmas.miami.edu has a VMS version of the GCC/G++ compiler.
215Contact angel@flipper.miami.edu (angel li) for details.
216 - RIGEL.EFD.LTH.SE [130.235.48.3] - GNU Emacs
217
218* Getting GNU software in Great Britain
219
220jpo@cs.nott.ac.uk is willing to distribute those GNU sources he has
221available. The smaller items are available from the info-server (send
222to info-server@cs.nott.ac.uk); the larger items by negotiation. Due to
223communication costs this service is only available within the UK.
224
225BattenIG@computer-science.birmingham.ac.uk (aka
226I.G.Batten@fulcrum.bt.co.uk) is also willing to distribute those GNU
227sources he has.
228
229wizards@doc.ic.ac.uk is willing to distribute those GNU sources they have
230along with most other freely distributable software. The SunSITE archive
231on SunSITE.doc.ic.ac.uk (193.63.255.4) is available via ftp, http, fsp,
232gopher, NFS and Lanmanger over IP (SMB), and telnet.
233
234UK sites with just anonymous FTP access are in the above list.
235
236* Getting GNU software via UUCP
237
238OSU is distributing via UUCP: most GNU software, MIT C Scheme,
239Compress, News, RN, NNTP, Patch, some Appletalk stuff, some of the
240Internet Requests For Comment (RFC) et al.. See their periodic
241postings on the Usenet newsgroup comp.sources.d for informational
242updates. Current details from <staff@cis.ohio-state.edu> or
243<...!osu-cis!staff>.
244
245Information on how to uucp some GNU programs is available via
246electronic mail from: uunet!hutch!barber, hqda-ai!merlin, acornrc!bob,
247hao!scicom!qetzal!upba!ugn!nepa!denny, ncar!noao!asuvax!hrc!dan,
248bigtex!james (aka james@bigtex.cactus.org), oli-stl!root,
249src@contrib.de (Germany), toku@dit.co.jp (Japan) and info@ftp.uu.net.
250
251* If You Like The Software
252
253If you like the software developed and distributed by the Free
254Software Foundation, please express your satisfaction with a donation.
255Your donations will help to support the Foundation and make our future
256efforts successful, including a complete development and operating
257system, called GNU (Gnu's Not Unix), which will run Unix user
258programs. For more information on GNU and the Foundation, contact us
259at the above address, or see our web site at http://www.gnu.org.
260
261Ordering a GNU Source Code CD-ROM or Source Code CD-ROM Subscription
262is a good way for your organization to help support our work.
