4: GNU Emacs availability information, January 1992
5: Copyright (C) 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
6:
7: Permission is granted to anyone to make or distribute
8: verbatim copies of this document provided that the
9: copyright notice and this permission notice are preserved.
10:
11: GNU Emacs is legally owned by the Free Software Foundation, but we
12: regard the foundation actually as its custodian on behalf of the
13: public, since all software ought to be the common property of mankind.
14:
15: The foundation permits everyone to have and run copies of GNU Emacs,
16: at no charge, and to redistribute copies under certain conditions
17: which are designed to make sure that that all modified versions of GNU
18: Emacs remain as free as the versions we distribute. These conditions
19: are stated in the document "GNU Emacs General Public License," a copy
20: of which is required to be distributed with every copy of GNU Emacs.
21: It is usually in a file named COPYING in the same directory as this
22: file.
23:
24: If you do not know anyone to get a copy of GNU Emacs from, you can
25: order a tape from the Free Software Foundation. We distribute Emacs
26: version 18 on mag tape in different formats for many machines. We also
27: distribute nicely typeset copies of the Emacs user manual, Emacs Lisp
28: Reference Manual, the Emacs reference card, etc. See the order form at
29: the end of this file.
30:
31: If you have Internet access, you can copy the latest Emacs
32: distribution from host prep.ai.mit.edu. There are several ways to do
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
35: `/pub/gnu/GNUinfo/FTP' on prep.ai.mit.edu for the most current
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
43: a full list of machines that GNU Emacs has been tested on, with
44: machine-specific installation notes and warnings.
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
53: License for full details, in the file COPYING in this directory), and
54: neither I nor the Free Software Foundation promises any kind of
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
57: usually in a file named SERVICE in the same directory as this file.
58: You get the latest version of the file from `/pub/gnu/GNUinfo/SERVICE' on
59: prep.ai.mit.edu.
60:
61: However, we plan to continue to improve GNU Emacs and keep it
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.
66:
67: If you are on the Internet, report bugs to
68: [email protected]; on UUCP, use the address
69: ...!uunet!prep.ai.mit.edu!bug-gnu-emacs. Otherwise, phone the
70: foundation at the number listed below, or write to the address listed
71: below. General questions about the GNU Project can be asked of
72: [email protected].
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
92: information on GNU, see the file GNU in this directory.
