-How to get GNU Software by Internet FTP or by UUCP.  Last updated 1999-01-20
+For information about how to obtain GNU Emacs and other GNU software
+by FTP, please see <http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html>.
 
-* Please send improvements to this file to gnu@gnu.org.
+Information about Emacs is also available at
+<http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/>.
 
-* No Warranties
-
-We distribute software in the hope that it will be useful, but without
-any warranty.  No author or distributor of this software accepts
-responsibility to anyone for the consequences of using it or for
-whether it serves any particular purpose or works at all, unless he
-says so in writing. This is exactly the same warranty that the proprietary
-software companies offer: None.  If the distribution is incomplete or the
-media fails, you can always download a replacement from any of the GNU
-mirrors, free of charge.
-
-* Updates
-
-You can always find the most recent version of this list of GNU FTP sites at
-        http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html
-
-* How to FTP
-
-Use the ftp program on your system (ask locally if you can't find it)
-to connect to the host you are ftping from.  Unless indicated
-otherwise, login in as user "anonymous", with password: "your e-mail
-address" and set "binary" mode (to transfer all eight bits in each
-byte).
-
-ALWAYS USE BINARY/IMAGE MODE TO TRANSFER THESE FILES!
-Text mode does not work for tar files or compressed files.
-
-* GNU Software and How To FTP It
-
-GNU software is available on ftp.gnu.org under the directory /gnu.
-diff files to convert between versions exist for some of these
-programs.  Some programs have misc support files as well.  Have a look
-on ftp.gnu.org to see which ones.  In most cases, the tar or diff
-files are compressed with the `gzip' program; this is indicated with
-the .gz suffix.  Binaries for gzip can be downloaded from
-http://www.gzip.org.
-
-Descriptions of GNU software are available at
-        http://www.gnu.org/software/software.html
- and in the Free Software Directory at
-        http://www.gnu.org/directory/index.html
-
-* Alternative Internet FTP Sources
-
-The canonical GNU ftp site is located at ftp.gnu.org/gnu.
-You should probably use one of the many mirrors of that site - the
-mirrors will be less busy, and you can find one closer to your site.

-* How to FTP GNU Emacs
-
-Emacs is in the directory /gnu/emacs on ftp.gnu.org.  The emacs
-distribution itself has a filename in the form emacs-M.N.tar.gz, where
-M and N stand for the version numbers; the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual
-is in a separate file, named elisp-manual-NN.tar.gz.
-
-* Scheme and How to FTP It
-
-The latest distribution version of C Scheme is available via anonymous FTP
-from swiss-ftp.ai.mit.edu in /pub/scheme-X.X/ (where X.X is some version
-number).
-
-Read the files INSTALL and README in the top level C Scheme directory.
-
-* TeX and How to Obtain It
-
-We don't distribute TeX now, but it is free software.
-
-TeX is a document formatter that is used, among other things, by the FSF
-for all its documentation.  You will need it if you want to make printed
-manuals.
-
-TeX is freely redistributable.  You can get it by ftp, tape, or CD/ROM.
-
-** For FTP instructions, retrieve the file
-ftp.cs.umb.edu/pub/tex/unixtex.ftp. (We don't include it here because it
-changes relatively frequently.  Sorry.)
-
-** A minimal TeX collection (enough to process Texinfo files, anyway)
-is included on the GNU source CD-ROM.  See the file ORDERS in this
-directory for more information.
-
-* GNU Software for VMS
-
-        - http://www.lp.se/gnu-vms/- lots of GNU ports to VMS,
-including Emacs 19, GCC, Bison, Make, RCS.
-
-* If You Like The Software
-
-If you like the software developed and distributed by the Free
-Software Foundation, please express your satisfaction with a donation.
-Your donations will help to support the Foundation and make our future
-efforts successful.  The Foundation continues to improve GNU programs
-and encourage the writing of new free software to enhance GNU/Linux
-and GNU/Hurd systems.  For more information on GNU and the Foundation,
-see our web site at http://www.gnu.org.
-
-Ordering a GNU Source Code CD-ROM or Source Code CD-ROM Subscription
-is a good way for your organization to help support our work.  You can
-also purchase printed manuals, reference cards, t-shirts, and other
-items.  See our online ordering form at http://order.fsf.org for
-details.
