        !            33: this; see the file `FTP' in the same directory as this file for more
        !            34: information.  Even better, get the latest version of the file from

        !            36: arrangements.  It may also be possible to copy Emacs via uucp; the
        !            37: file `FTP' contains information on that too.
        !            38: 
        !            39: Emacs has been run on both Berkeley Unix and System V Unix, on a
        !            40: variety of types of cpu.  It also works on VMS and on Apollo
        !            41: computers, though with some deficiencies that reflect problems in
        !            42: these operating systems.  See the file MACHINES in this directory for

        !            45: 
        !            46: Note that there is significant variation between Unix systems
        !            47: supposedly running the same version of Unix; it is possible that what
        !            48: works in GNU Emacs for me does not work on your system due to such an
        !            49: incompatibility.  Since I must avoid reading Unix source code, I
        !            50: cannot even guess what such problems may exist.
        !            51: 
        !            52: GNU Emacs is distributed with no warranty (see the General Public

        !            55: support or assistance to users.         The foundation keeps a list of people
        !            56: who are willing to offer support and assistance for hire.  It is

        !            62: reliable, so please send me any complaints and suggestions you have.
        !            63: I will probably fix anything that I consider a malfunction.  I may
        !            64: make improvements that are suggested, but I may choose not to.
        !            65: Improving Emacs is not my highest priority now.

        !            73: 
        !            74: If you are a computer manufacturer, I encourage you to ship a copy of
        !            75: GNU Emacs with every computer you deliver.  The same copying
        !            76: permission terms apply to computer manufacturers as to everyone else.
        !            77: You should consider making a donation to help support the GNU project;
        !            78: if you estimate what it would cost to distribute some commercial
        !            79: product and divide it by five, that is a good amount.
        !            80: 
        !            81: If you like GNU Emacs, please express your satisfaction with a
        !            82: donation: send me or the Foundation what you feel Emacs has been worth
        !            83: to you.         If you are glad that I developed GNU Emacs and distribute it
        !            84: as freeware, rather than following the obstructive and antisocial
        !            85: practices typical of software developers, reward me.  If you would
        !            86: like the Foundation to develop more free software, contribute.
        !            87: 
        !            88: Your donations will help to support the development of more useful
        !            89: software to be distributed on the same basis as GNU Emacs.  Eventually
        !            90: we will have a complete imitation of the Unix operating system, called
        !            91: GNU (Gnu's Not Unix), which will run Unix user programs.  For more
