- GNU Emacs availability information, January 1992
- Copyright (C) 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
-
- Permission is granted to anyone to make or distribute
- verbatim copies of this document provided that the
- copyright notice and this permission notice are preserved.
-
- GNU Emacs is legally owned by the Free Software Foundation, but we
- regard the foundation actually as its custodian on behalf of the
- public, since all software ought to be the common property of mankind.
-
- The foundation permits everyone to have and run copies of GNU Emacs,
- at no charge, and to redistribute copies under certain conditions
- which are designed to make sure that that all modified versions of GNU
- Emacs remain as free as the versions we distribute. These conditions
- are stated in the document "GNU Emacs General Public License," a copy
- of which is required to be distributed with every copy of GNU Emacs.
- It is usually in a file named COPYING in the same directory as this
- file.
-
- If you do not know anyone to get a copy of GNU Emacs from, you can
- order a tape from the Free Software Foundation. We distribute Emacs
- version 18 on mag tape in different formats for many machines. We also
- distribute nicely typeset copies of the Emacs user manual, Emacs Lisp
- Reference Manual, the Emacs reference card, etc. See the order form at
- the end of this file.
-
- If you have Internet access, you can copy the latest Emacs
- distribution from host prep.ai.mit.edu. There are several ways to do
- this; see the file `FTP' in the same directory as this file for more
- information. Even better, get the latest version of the file from
- `/pub/gnu/GNUinfo/FTP' on prep.ai.mit.edu for the most current
- arrangements. It may also be possible to copy Emacs via uucp; the
- file `FTP' contains information on that too.
-
- Emacs has been run on both Berkeley Unix and System V Unix, on a
- variety of types of cpu. It also works on VMS and on Apollo
- computers, though with some deficiencies that reflect problems in
- these operating systems. See the file MACHINES in this directory for
- a full list of machines that GNU Emacs has been tested on, with
- machine-specific installation notes and warnings.
-
- Note that there is significant variation between Unix systems
- supposedly running the same version of Unix; it is possible that what
- works in GNU Emacs for me does not work on your system due to such an
- incompatibility. Since I must avoid reading Unix source code, I
- cannot even guess what such problems may exist.
-
- GNU Emacs is distributed with no warranty (see the General Public
- License for full details, in the file COPYING in this directory), and
- neither I nor the Free Software Foundation promises any kind of
- support or assistance to users. The foundation keeps a list of people
- who are willing to offer support and assistance for hire. It is
- usually in a file named SERVICE in the same directory as this file.
- You get the latest version of the file from `/pub/gnu/GNUinfo/SERVICE' on
- prep.ai.mit.edu.
-
- However, we plan to continue to improve GNU Emacs and keep it
- reliable, so please send me any complaints and suggestions you have.
- I will probably fix anything that I consider a malfunction. I may
- make improvements that are suggested, but I may choose not to.
- Improving Emacs is not my highest priority now.
-
- If you are on the Internet, report bugs to
- bug-gnu-emacs@prep.ai.mit.edu; on UUCP, use the address
- ...!uunet!prep.ai.mit.edu!bug-gnu-emacs. Otherwise, phone the
- foundation at the number listed below, or write to the address listed
- below. General questions about the GNU Project can be asked of
- gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu.
-
- If you are a computer manufacturer, I encourage you to ship a copy of
- GNU Emacs with every computer you deliver. The same copying
- permission terms apply to computer manufacturers as to everyone else.
- You should consider making a donation to help support the GNU project;
- if you estimate what it would cost to distribute some commercial
- product and divide it by five, that is a good amount.
-
- If you like GNU Emacs, please express your satisfaction with a
- donation: send me or the Foundation what you feel Emacs has been worth
- to you. If you are glad that I developed GNU Emacs and distribute it
- as freeware, rather than following the obstructive and antisocial
- practices typical of software developers, reward me. If you would
- like the Foundation to develop more free software, contribute.
-
- Your donations will help to support the development of more useful
- software to be distributed on the same basis as GNU Emacs. Eventually
- we will have a complete imitation of the Unix operating system, called
- GNU (Gnu's Not Unix), which will run Unix user programs. For more
- information on GNU, see the file GNU in this directory.
