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

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
4eb84076
EZ
12says so in writing. This is exactly the same warranty that the proprietary
13software companies offer: None. If the distribution is incomplete or the
8a1ef00c
DL
14media fails, you can always download a replacement from any of the GNU
15mirrors, free of charge.
16
17* Updates
18
4eb84076 19You can always find the most recent version of this list of GNU FTP sites at

21
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
4eb84076
EZ
40the .gz suffix. Binaries for gzip can be downloaded from
41http://www.gzip.org.

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

182* How to FTP GNU Emacs
183
184Emacs is in the directory /gnu/emacs on ftp.gnu.org. The emacs
185distribution itself has a filename in the form emacs-M.N.tar.gz, where
4eb84076
EZ
186M and N stand for the version numbers; the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual
187is in a separate file, named elisp-manual-NN.tar.gz.

188
189* Scheme and How to FTP It
190
191The latest distribution version of C Scheme is available via anonymous FTP
192from swiss-ftp.ai.mit.edu in /pub/scheme-X.X/ (where X.X is some version
193number).
194
195Read the files INSTALL and README in the top level C Scheme directory.
196
197* TeX and How to Obtain It
198
199We don't distribute TeX now, but it is free software.
200
201TeX is a document formatter that is used, among other things, by the FSF
202for all its documentation. You will need it if you want to make printed
203manuals.
204
205TeX is freely redistributable. You can get it by ftp, tape, or CD/ROM.
206
207** For FTP instructions, retrieve the file
208ftp.cs.umb.edu/pub/tex/unixtex.ftp. (We don't include it here because it
209changes relatively frequently. Sorry.)
210
211** A minimal TeX collection (enough to process Texinfo files, anyway)
212is included on the GNU source CD-ROM. See the file ORDERS in this
213directory for more information.
214
4eb84076 215* GNU Software for VMS
8a1ef00c 216
4eb84076
EZ
217 - ftp.vms.stacken.kth.se/MIRRORS/GNU-VMS/- lots of GNU ports to VMS,
218including Emacs 19, GCC, Bison, Make, RCS.

220* If You Like The Software
221
222If you like the software developed and distributed by the Free
223Software Foundation, please express your satisfaction with a donation.
224Your donations will help to support the Foundation and make our future
4eb84076
EZ
225efforts successful. The Foundation continues to improve GNU programs
226and encourage the writing of new free software to enhance GNU/Linux
227and GNU/Hurd systems. For more information on GNU and the Foundation,
228see our web site at http://www.gnu.org.

230Ordering a GNU Source Code CD-ROM or Source Code CD-ROM Subscription
4eb84076
EZ
231is a good way for your organization to help support our work. You can
232also purchase printed manuals, reference cards, t-shirts, and other
233items. See our online ordering form at http://order.fsf.org for
234details.
