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. + + Richard M Stallman + Chief GNUisance, + President of the Free Software Foundation + + Free Software Foundation Order Form + + This order form is effective 1 January 1992 - 30 June 1992 + +Prices and contents may change without notice. + +Please allow six weeks for delivery (though it won't usually take that long). + +All software and publications are distributed with permission to copy and to +redistribute. + +Texinfo source for each manual is on the appropriate tape.
