| 2 | How to get GNU Software by Internet FTP or by UUCP. Last updated 1999-01-20 | ||
| 3 | |||
| 4 | * Please send improvements to this file to gnu@gnu.org. | ||
| 5 | |||
| 6 | * No Warranties | ||
| 7 | |||
| 8 | We distribute software in the hope that it will be useful, but without | ||
| 9 | any warranty. No author or distributor of this software accepts | ||
| 10 | responsibility to anyone for the consequences of using it or for | ||
| 11 | whether it serves any particular purpose or works at all, unless he | ||
| 12 | says so in writing. This is exactly the same warranty that the commercial | ||
| 13 | software companies offer: None. If the distribution is incomplete or the | ||
| 14 | media fails, you can always download a replacement from any of the GNU | ||
| 15 | mirrors, free of charge. | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | * Updates | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | A possibly more up-to-date list of GNU FTP sites is at | ||
| 20 | http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | * How to FTP | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | Use the ftp program on your system (ask locally if you can't find it) | ||
| 25 | to connect to the host you are ftping from. Unless indicated | ||
| 26 | otherwise, login in as user "anonymous", with password: "your e-mail | ||
| 27 | address" and set "binary" mode (to transfer all eight bits in each | ||
| 28 | byte). | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | ALWAYS USE BINARY/IMAGE MODE TO TRANSFER THESE FILES! | ||
| 31 | Text mode does not work for tar files or compressed files. | ||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | * GNU Software and How To FTP It | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | GNU software is available on ftp.gnu.org under the directory /gnu. | ||
| 36 | diff files to convert between versions exist for some of these | ||
| 37 | programs. Some programs have misc support files as well. Have a look | ||
| 38 | on ftp.gnu.org to see which ones. In most cases, the tar or diff | ||
| 39 | files are compressed with the `gzip' program; this is indicated with | ||
| 40 | the .gz suffix. | ||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | Descriptions of GNU software are available at | ||
| 43 | http://www.gnu.org/software/software.html | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | * Alternative Internet FTP Sources | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | Please do NOT use a site outside your country, until you have checked | ||
| 48 | all sites inside your country, and then your continent. Trans-ocean | ||
| 49 | TCP/IP links are very expensive and usually very low speed. | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | The canonical GNU ftp site is located at ftp.gnu.org/gnu. | ||
| 52 | You should probably use one of the many mirrors of that site - the | ||
| 53 | mirrors will be less busy, and you can find one closer to your site. | ||
| 54 | |||

| 151 | * How to FTP GNU Emacs | ||
| 152 | |||
| 153 | Emacs is in the directory /gnu/emacs on ftp.gnu.org. The emacs | ||
| 154 | distribution itself has a filename in the form emacs-M.N.tar.gz, where | ||
| 155 | M and N stand for the version numbers; the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual | ||
| 156 | is in a separate file, named elisp-manual-NN.tar.gz. | ||
| 157 | |||
| 158 | * Scheme and How to FTP It | ||
| 159 | |||
| 160 | The latest distribution version of C Scheme is available via anonymous FTP | ||
| 161 | from swiss-ftp.ai.mit.edu in /pub/scheme-X.X/ (where X.X is some version | ||
| 162 | number). | ||
| 163 | |||
| 164 | Read the files INSTALL and README in the top level C Scheme directory. | ||
| 165 | |||
| 166 | * TeX and How to Obtain It | ||
| 167 | |||
| 168 | We don't distribute TeX now, but it is free software. | ||
| 169 | |||
| 170 | TeX is a document formatter that is used, among other things, by the FSF | ||
| 171 | for all its documentation. You will need it if you want to make printed | ||
| 172 | manuals. | ||
| 173 | |||
| 174 | TeX is freely redistributable. You can get it by ftp, tape, or CD/ROM. | ||
| 175 | |||
| 176 | ** For FTP instructions, retrieve the file | ||
| 177 | ftp.cs.umb.edu/pub/tex/unixtex.ftp. (We don't include it here because it | ||
| 178 | changes relatively frequently. Sorry.) | ||
| 179 | |||
| 180 | ** A minimal TeX collection (enough to process Texinfo files, anyway) | ||
| 181 | is included on the GNU source CD-ROM. See the file ORDERS in this | ||
| 182 | directory for more information. | ||
| 183 | |||
| 184 | * VMS FTP sites with GNU Software | ||
| 185 | You can anonymously ftp a VMS version of GNU emacs from: | ||
| 186 | - ftp.vms.stacken.kth.se:[.GNU-VMS] - GNU Emacs and some other VMS | ||
| 187 | ports (and some VMS binaries) of GNU software | ||
| 188 | - mango.rsmas.miami.edu has a VMS version of the GCC/G++ compiler. | ||
| 189 | Contact angel@flipper.miami.edu (angel li) for details. | ||
| 190 | - RIGEL.EFD.LTH.SE [130.235.48.3] - GNU Emacs | ||
| 191 | |||
| 192 | * Getting GNU software in Great Britain | ||
| 193 | |||
| 194 | jpo@cs.nott.ac.uk is willing to distribute those GNU sources he has | ||
| 195 | available. The smaller items are available from the info-server (send | ||
| 196 | to info-server@cs.nott.ac.uk); the larger items by negotiation. Due to | ||
| 197 | communication costs this service is only available within the UK. | ||
| 198 | |||
| 199 | BattenIG@computer-science.birmingham.ac.uk (aka | ||
| 200 | I.G.Batten@fulcrum.bt.co.uk) is also willing to distribute those GNU | ||
| 201 | sources he has. | ||
| 202 | |||
| 203 | wizards@doc.ic.ac.uk is willing to distribute those GNU sources they have | ||
| 204 | along with most other freely distributable software. The SunSITE archive | ||
| 205 | on SunSITE.doc.ic.ac.uk (193.63.255.4) is available via ftp, http, fsp, | ||
| 206 | gopher, NFS and Lanmanger over IP (SMB), and telnet. | ||
| 207 | |||
| 208 | UK sites with just anonymous FTP access are in the above list. | ||
| 209 | |||
| 210 | * Getting GNU software via UUCP | ||
| 211 | |||
| 212 | OSU is distributing via UUCP: most GNU software, MIT C Scheme, | ||
| 213 | Compress, News, RN, NNTP, Patch, some Appletalk stuff, some of the | ||
| 214 | Internet Requests For Comment (RFC) et al.. See their periodic | ||
| 215 | postings on the Usenet newsgroup comp.sources.d for informational | ||
| 216 | updates. Current details from <staff@cis.ohio-state.edu> or | ||
| 217 | <...!osu-cis!staff>. | ||
| 218 | |||
| 219 | Information on how to uucp some GNU programs is available via | ||
| 220 | electronic mail from: uunet!hutch!barber, hqda-ai!merlin, acornrc!bob, | ||
| 221 | hao!scicom!qetzal!upba!ugn!nepa!denny, ncar!noao!asuvax!hrc!dan, | ||
| 222 | bigtex!james (aka james@bigtex.cactus.org), oli-stl!root, | ||
| 223 | src@contrib.de (Germany), toku@dit.co.jp (Japan) and info@ftp.uu.net. | ||
| 224 | |||
| 225 | * If You Like The Software | ||
| 226 | |||
| 227 | If you like the software developed and distributed by the Free | ||
| 228 | Software Foundation, please express your satisfaction with a donation. | ||
| 229 | Your donations will help to support the Foundation and make our future | ||
| 230 | efforts successful, including a complete development and operating | ||
| 231 | system, called GNU (Gnu's Not Unix), which will run Unix user | ||
| 232 | programs. For more information on GNU and the Foundation, contact us | ||
| 233 | at the above address, or see our web site at http://www.gnu.org. | ||
| 234 | |||
| 235 | Ordering a GNU Source Code CD-ROM or Source Code CD-ROM Subscription | ||
| 236 | is a good way for your organization to help support our work. | ||
