        !             3: .SH NAME
        !             4: gdb \- Project GNU's DeBugger
        !             5: .SH SYNOPSIS
        !             6: \fBgdb\fP [ \fBoptions\fP ]   See documentation mentioned below.
        !             7: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !             8: \fIgdb\fP is a source level symbolic debugger for C programs, created by
        !             9: Richard M. Stallman (rms) for the GNU Project, and distributed by the
        !            10: Free Software Foundation.  Eventually GNU (Gnu's Not Unix) will be a
        !            11: complete replacement for Berkeley Unix, all of which everyone will be
        !            12: able to use freely.  See the \fIGNU Emacs\fP man page for pointers to more
        !            13: information.
        !            14: .PP
        !            15: \fIgdb\fP has something of the flavor of \fIdbx\fP,
        !            16: but has more features and power.  It can also be used to debug o/s
        !            17: kernels, but needs to be configured differently for that task.
        !            18: .PP
        !            19: Project GNU isn't using Unix man pages.  Its style of complete
        !            20: documentation can be found by:
        !            21: .PP
        !            22: The help and info commands inside \fIgdb\fP.
        !            23: .PP
        !            24: In the Info system in \fIGNU Emacs\fP.  Type C-h i, and follow the
        !            25: directions.  This is equivalent to the reference manual for 
        !            26: \fIgdb\fP, and has about 55 pages of text.
        !            27: .PP
        !            28: \fIgdb\fP could be extended to work with other languages (e.g. Pascal) and
        !            29: machines (e.g. encores).  If you like, copy the sources and give it a
        !            30: try.  When you have it working send \fIdiff -c\fP's of the changed files to
        !            31: [email protected] (fuller details below), so they can benefit everyone.
        !            32: .SH DISTRIBUTION
        !            33: \fIgdb\fP is free; anyone may redistribute copies of
        !            34: \fIgdb\fP to anyone under the terms stated in the
        !            35: \fIgdb\fP General Public License, a copy of which accompanies each copy of
        !            36: \fIgdb\fP, is readable with the info command inside \fIgdb\fP,
        !            37: and which also appears in the \fIgdb\fP reference manual.
        !            38: .PP
        !            39: Copies of \fIgdb\fP may sometimes be received packaged with
        !            40: distributions of Unix systems, but it is never included in the scope
        !            41: of any license covering those systems.  Such inclusion would violate
        !            42: the terms on which distribution is permitted.  In fact, the primary
        !            43: purpose of the General Public License is to prohibit anyone from
        !            44: attaching any other restrictions to redistribution of \fIgdb\fP.

        !            56: The TeX source to the \fIgdb\fP reference

        !            66: There is a mailing list, [email protected] on the internet

        !            68: bugs and fixes.  But before reporting something as a bug, please try
        !            69: to be sure that it really is a bug, not a misunderstanding or a
        !            70: deliberate feature.  We ask you to read the section ``Reporting Emacs
        !            71: Bugs'' near the end of the \fIGNU Emacs\fP reference manual
        !            72: (or Info system) for hints
        !            73: on how and when to report bugs.  Also, include the version number of
        !            74: the \fIgdb\fP you are running in \fIevery\fR bug report that you send in.
        !            75: .PP
        !            76: Do not expect a personal answer to a bug report.  The purpose of reporting
        !            77: bugs is to get them fixed for everyone in the next release, if possible.
        !            78: For personal assistance, look in the SERVICE file
        !            79: (see the \fIGNU Emacs\fP man page) for
        !            80: a list of people who offer it.
        !            81: .PP
        !            82: Please do not send anything but bug reports to this mailing list.
        !            83: Send other stuff to [email protected] (or the
        !            84: corresponding UUCP address).  For more information about GNU mailing
        !            85: lists, see the file MAILINGLISTS (see the \fIGNU Emacs\fP man page).  Bugs tend
        !            86: actually to be fixed if they can be isolated, so it is in your
        !            87: interest to report them in such a way that they can be easily
        !            88: reproduced.
        !            89: .PP
