The FSF will provide the contributor with a receipt +to recognize the contribution (which is tax-deductible on U.S. tax returns). +To see if your employer is a Cygnus customer, or for more information, +please contact Cygnus: + + Cygnus Solutions + 1325 Chesapeake Terrace + Sunnyvale, CA 94089 + USA + + Telephone: +1 408 542 9600 + +1 800 Cygnus1 (-294-6871) + Fax: +1 408 542 9700 + Electronic-Mail: `info@cygnus.com' + FTP: `ftp.cygnus.com' + World Wide Web: `http://www.Cygnus.com/' + + + +Free Software Redistributors Donate +*********************************** + +In adddition to their conference donation, Red Hat Software has agreed to +donate $1.00 to the FSF for every copy of Red Hat Archives sold. They have +also added a GNU logo to the back of that CD with the words "Supports the +Free Software Foundation". + +The SNOW 2.1 CD producers added the words "Includes $5 donation to the FSF" +to the front of their CD. Potential buyers will know just how much of the +price is for the FSF & how much is for the redistributor. + +The Sun Users Group Deutschland has made it even clearer: their CD says, +"Price 90 DM, + 12 DM donation to the FSF." We thank them for their +contribution to our efforts. + +Kyoto Micro Computer of Japan regularly gives us 10% of their GNU-related +sales. + +Mr. Hiroshi, Mr. Kojima, and the other authors of the `Linux Primer' in Japan +have donated money from the sales of their book. + +Infomagic has continued to make sizeable donations to the FSF. + +At the request of author Arnold Robbins, Specialized Systems Consultants, Inc. +continues to donate 3% of their profits from selling `Effective AWK +Programming'. We would also like to acknowledge the many SSC authors who +have donated their royalties and fees to the FSF. + +In the long run, the success of free software depends on how much new free +software people develop. Free software distribution offers an opportunity to +raise funds for such development in an ethical way. These redistributors +have made use of the opportunity. Many others let it go to waste. + +You can help promote free software development by convincing for-a-fee +redistributors to contribute--either by doing development themselves or by +donating to development organizations (the FSF and others). + +The way to convince distributors to contribute is to demand and expect this +of them. This means choosing among distributors partly by how much they give +to free software development. Then you can show distributors they must +compete to be the one who gives the most. + +To make this work, you must insist on numbers that you can compare, such as, +"We will give ten dollars to the Foobar project for each disk sold." A vague +commitment, such as "A portion of the profits is donated," doesn't give you a +basis for comparison. Even a precise fraction "of the profits from this +disk" is not very meaningful, since creative accounting and unrelated +business decisions can greatly alter what fraction of the sales price counts +as profit. + +Also, press developers for firm information about what kind of development +they do or support. Some kinds make much more long-term difference than +others. For example, maintaining a separate version of a GNU program +contributes very little; maintaining a program on behalf of the GNU Project +<contributes much. Easy new ports contribute little, since someone else +would surely do them; difficult ports such as adding a new CPU to the GNU +compiler or Mach contribute more; major new features & programs contribute +the most. + +By establishing the idea that supporting further development is "the proper +thing to do" when distributing free software for a fee, we can assure a +steady flow of resources for making more free software. + + + +Help from Free Software Companies +********************************* + +When choosing a free software business, ask those you are considering how +much they do to assist free software development, e.g., by contributing money +to free software development or by writing free software improvements +themselves for general use. By basing your decision partially on this +factor, you can help encourage those who profit from free software to +contribute to its growth. + +Wingnut (SRA's special GNU support group) regularly donates a part of its +income to the FSF to support the development of new GNU programs. Listing +them here is our way of thanking them. Wingnut has made a pledge to donate +10% of their income to the FSF, and has purchased several Deluxe Distribution +packages in Japan. Also see *Note Cygnus Matches Donations!::. + + Wingnut Project + Software Research Associates, Inc. + 1-1-1 Hirakawa-cho, Chiyoda-ku + Tokyo 102, Japan + + Phone: (+81-3)3234-2611 + Fax: (+81-3)3942-5174 + E-mail: `info-wingnut@sra.co.jp' + WWW: `http://www.sra.co.jp/public/sra/product/wingnut/' + + + +Major Changes in GNU Software and Documentation +*********************************************** + + * Hurd Progress (Also *note What Is the Hurd::.) + + We have made two test releases of the Hurd, and we will make another + (version 0.2) in this month. Stability is improving, and we have begun + modifying various user-level utilities to understand new Hurd filesystem + features (fileutils, shellutils, tar, etc.). + + One way for people to help out is to compile and run as much third-party + free software as they can; in this way we can find bugs and deficiencies + with some rapidity. Volunteers with a PC are therefore eagerly sought + to get the new 0.2 release and compile their favorite Unix programs and + games. + + * GNU System Progress + + Version 0.2 of the GNU system will be released in this month, to coincide + with the 0.2 release of the Hurd. This complete GNU system is available + by FTP. We are working with Ian Murdock to develop an excellent package + management system for GNU. This will make administering and upgrading + the system much easier. Because of features only the Hurd has, the GNU + package management system will be simpler and more featureful than + similar package systems for various GNU/Linux distributions. + + * New Source Code CD! (See *Note January 1997 Source Code CD-ROMs::) + + We are releasing the January 1997 (Edition 9) Source Code CD-ROM this + month. Once again, it is a two disk set. It includes several new + programs: `gforth', `gpc', <Meta-HTML>, `stow', `units', VRweb, `wget', + `windows32api', and `xinfo'. On the CD-ROMs are full distributions of + X11R6.3, MIT Scheme, Emacs, GCC, and current versions of all other GNU + Software. *Note GNU Software::, for more about these packages. + + * New Compiler Tools CD-ROM + + We are releasing the January 1997 (Edition 4) Compiler Tools Binaries + CD. Support is included for several new operating systems. + + The Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM contains executables of the GNU + compiler tools for some systems that don't normally come with a + compiler. This allows users of those systems to compile their own + software without having to buy a proprietary compiler. + + We hope to include more systems with each update of this CD-ROM. If you + can help build binaries for new systems or have one to suggest, please + contact us at either address on the top menu. For more information, see + *Note Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM::. + + * New/Updated Manuals since Last Bulletin (See *Note Documentation::) + + Since the last bulletin, we have published new editions of: `Debugging + with GDB', for version 4.16 with a new color cover; `Texinfo' Manual, + edition 2.24; & the `GNU Emacs Manual', for version 19.33 with a new + color cover. `Using and Porting GNU CC' has been re-printed in a + lay-flat bound edition with a new color cover. A new Bison Manual with + a new color cover is planned. + + * Give to GNU the United Way! + + As a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization, the FSF is eligible to receive + United Way funds. When donating to United Way, one can specify that all + or part of the donation be directed to the FSF. On the donor form, + check the "Specific Requests" box and include the sentence, "Send my + gift to the Free Software Foundation, 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, + Boston, MA 02111." We especially appreciate the donations from Microsoft + matching the United Way donations of their employees. Also see *Note + Donations Translate Into Free Software:: and *Note Cygnus Matches + Donations!::. + + * GNU Software Works on MS-DOS (Also *note GNU Software::.) + + GNU Emacs 19 and many other GNU programs have been ported to MS-DOS for + i386/i486/Pentium machines. We ship binaries & sources on the *Note + Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM::. + + * MULE Merge Almost Complete + + MULE is the Multi-Lingual Emacs developed by Ken'ichi Handa at the + Electro-Technical Lab in Tsukuba, Japan. Handa has readied the code for + merging into Emacs and we expect to complete the merge soon. + + * GCC (For current status on GCC and GNAT, *note GNU Software::.) + + New front ends for GCC are being done for Pascal & Chill. Pascal, + `gpc', stagnated for some years, but should be released by the time you + read this. See `http://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/~gnu-pascal'. + + * GUILE + + GUILE is currently available as a test release. GNU's Ubiquitous + Intelligent Language for Extension is an SCM-based library that can make + any ordinary C program extensible. (For SCM info, see "JACAL" in *Note + GNU Software::.) + + Also being developed are SCSH-compatible system call & Tk interfaces, a + module system, dynamic linking support, & a byte-code interpreter. + Support for Emacs Lisp & a more C-like language is coming. + + * Texinfo (For current status, *note GNU Software::.) + + Texinfo now provides macro facilities and supports multicolumn tables. + It comes with an `install-info' program that packages can use to update + the `dir' file automatically when they install their Info files. + + * GNU Common Lisp (For current status, *note GNU Software::.) + + Version 2.2.1 of GNU Common Lisp (GCL) was released in December '96. It + now includes a graphical interface to the Tk widget system. All + documentation is now Texinfo-based, with built-in regexp matching used + to access the documentation. A first pass at the Common Lisp condition + system is also included. Version 2.2.1 contains mainly updates to allow + GCL 2.2 to work correctly with current operating system levels, and to + fix bugs. Volunteers to help with the move to the ANSI standard are + most welcome; please contact `schelter@math.utexas.edu'. + + * Experimental Electronic Cash + + `http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/NCash' is an experimental + implementation of anonymous electronic cash which is to be released as + free software. + + * HTML Professional and GPL + + The recent development and release of HTML Professional was made under + the terms of the GNU GPL. In order to facilitate distribution, the GPL + text was re-encoded into this more recent version of HTML, and is now + distributed with HTML Pro. An online copy can be retrieved at + `http://www.arbornet.org/~silmaril/dtds/html/gnugpl.html'. + + HTML Pro is an unofficial version of the HTML DTD. HTML Pro is + distributed for discussion by the `www-html' mailing list. It + composites all other known versions, and allows World Wide Web designers + to use recent experimental additions in a rational and structured manner. + It comes with a `.ced' file for GNU Emacs/psgml-mode and can be gotten at + `ftp://www.ucc.ie/pub/html/htmlpro.{zip|tar.gz|zip.hqx}'. + Documentation is at + `http://www.arbornet.org/~silmaril/dtds/html/htmlpro.html'. + + * Meta-HTML 5.01 Source Release + + Version 5.01 of Universal Access Inc.'s <Meta-HTML> is now available. + + <Meta-HTML> is a programming language specifically designed to work + within the environment of the World Wide Web. Although it is a genuine + programming language, suitable for large-scale symbolic manipulation, + <Meta-HTML> also provides the most commonly wanted Web functionality as + built-in primitives, so you don't have to write them. You can find out + more about the theory of implementation in this white paper + `http://www.metahtml.com/meta-html/manifesto.html'. + + Web pages are authored using HTML and <Meta-HTML> statements freely + intermixed. When a page is requested by a browser, the page is passed + through the <Meta-HTML> engine, which dynamically processes any + <Meta-HTML> statements to produce a final HTML page which is delivered + to the browser. + + The source distribution provides several different interpreter options: + a CGI engine which can be run by any Unix Web server; a full-featured + Web server (mhttpd) with the interpreter built in; a standalone + processor, much like Perl or Tcl; and an interactive debugger, with a + feel similar to GDB (mdb). + + There is a user mailing list: `metahtml-users@metahtml.com'. You can + subscribe on the Web at `http://www.metahtml.com/E-Mail/', or by sending + mail to `metahtml-users-request@metahtml.com'. + + Pre-compiled distribution sets for some systems are available via the + <Meta-HTML> Web site at `http://www.metahtml.com'. + + * VRweb Browser + + VRweb, a browser for 3D models on the Web written in the Virtual Reality + Modeling Language (VRML), is now available under the GPL. VRweb works + in conjunction with Web browsers on Unix & Windows platforms. + + VRweb is a joint project of IICM (home of Hyper-G), NCSA (home of + Mosaic), & the University of Minnesota (home of Gopher). The software + is freely available in binary & source. VRweb 1.2 for Unix has just + been released, VRweb 1.2 for Windows will follow in due course. You can + download VRweb from `ftp://iicm.tu-graz.ac.at/pub/Hyper-G/VRweb/UNIX' + and numerous mirror sites. Further information on VRweb can be found at + `http://hyperg.iicm.tu-graz.ac.at/vrweb'. + + VRML is a non-proprietary, platform-independent file format for 3D + graphics on the Internet. Also see `http://www.sdsc.edu/vrml/', the + VRML Repository. + + + +The Deluxe Distribution +*********************** + +The Free Software Foundation has been asked repeatedly to create a package +that provides executables for all of our software. Normally we offer only +sources. The Deluxe Distribution provides binaries with the source code and +includes six T-shirts, all our CD-ROMs, printed manuals, & reference cards. + +The FSF Deluxe Distribution contains the binaries and sources to hundreds of +different programs including Emacs, the GNU C/C++ Compiler, the GNU Debugger, +the complete X Window System, and all the GNU utilities. + +We will make a Deluxe Distribution for most machines/operating systems. We +may be able to send someone to your office to do the compilation, if we can't +find a suitable machine here. However, we can only compile the programs that +already support your chosen machine/system - porting is a separate matter. +(To commission a port, see the GNU Service Directory; details in *Note Free +Software Support::.) Compiling all these programs takes time; a Deluxe +Distribution for an unusual machine will take longer to produce than one for +a common machine. Please contact the FSF Office with any questions. + +We supply the software on a write-once CD-ROM (in ISO 9660 format with "Rock +Ridge" extensions), or on one of these tapes in Unix `tar' format: 1600 or +6250bpi 1/2in reel, Sun DC300XLP 1/4in cartridge - QIC24, IBM RS/6000 1/4in +c.t. - QIC 150, Exabyte 8mm c.t., or DAT 4mm c.t. If your computer cannot +read any of these, please contact us to see if we can handle your format. + +The manuals included are one each of `Bison', `Calc', `GAWK', `GCC', `GNU C +Library', `GDB', `Flex', `GNU Emacs Lisp Reference', `Programming in Emacs +Lisp: An Introduction', `Make', `Texinfo', & `Termcap' manuals; six copies of +the `GNU Emacs' manual; and ten reference cards each for Emacs, Bison, Calc, +Flex, & GDB. + +Every Deluxe Distribution also has a copy of the latest editions of our +CD-ROMs that have sources of our software & compiler tool binaries for some +systems. The CDs are in ISO 9660 format with Rock Ridge extensions. + +The price of the Deluxe Distribution is $5000 (shipping included). These +sales provide enormous financial assistance to help the FSF develop more free +software. To order, please fill out the "Deluxe Distribution" section on the +*note Free Software Foundation Order Form::. and send it to: + + Free Software Foundation, Inc. + 59 Temple Place - Suite 330 + Boston, MA 02111-1307 + USA + + Telephone: +1-617-542-5942 + Fax (including Japan): +1-617-542-2652 + Electronic Mail: gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu + World Wide Web: http://www.gnu.ai.mit.edu + + + +GNU Documentation +***************** + +GNU is dedicated to having quality, easy-to-use online & printed +documentation. GNU manuals are intended to explain underlying concepts, +describe how to use all the features of each program, & give examples of +command use. GNU manuals are distributed as Texinfo source files, which +yield both typeset hardcopy via the TeX document formatting system and online +hypertext display via the menu-driven Info system. Source for these manuals +comes with our software; here are the manuals that we publish as printed +books. See the *note Free Software Foundation Order Form::., to order them. + +Most GNU manuals are bound as soft cover books with "lay-flat" bindings. +This allows you to open them so they lie flat on a table without creasing the +binding. They have an inner cloth spine and an outer cardboard cover that +will not break or crease as an ordinary paperback will. Currently, the +`Using and Porting GNU CC', `GDB', `Emacs', `Emacs Lisp Reference', +`Programming in Emacs Lisp: An Introduction', `GNU Awk User's Guide', `Make', +& `Bison' manuals have this binding. Our other manuals also lie flat when +opened, using a GBC binding. Our manuals are 7in by 9.25in except the 8.5in +by 11in `Calc' manual. + +The edition number of the manual and version number of the program listed +after each manual's name were current at the time this Bulletin was published. + +`Debugging with GDB' (for Version 4.16) tells how to run your program under +GNU Debugger control, examine and alter data, modify a program's flow of +control, and use GDB through GNU Emacs. + +The `GNU Emacs Manual' (12th Edition for Version 19.33) describes editing with +GNU Emacs. It explains advanced features, including outline mode and regular +expression search; how to use special programming modes to write languages +like C++ and TeX; how to use the `tags' utility; how to compile and correct +code; how to make your own keybindings; and other elementary customizations. + +`Programming in Emacs Lisp: An Introduction' (October 1995 Edition 1.04) is +for people who are not necessarily interested in programming, but who do want +to customize or extend their computing environment. If you read it in Emacs +under Info mode, you can run the sample programs directly. + +`The GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual' (Edition 2.4 for Version 19.29) and +`The GNU Emacs Lisp Reference, Japanese Edition' (Japanese Draft Revision +1.0, from English Edition 2.4 for Version 19.29) cover this programming +language in depth, including data types, control structures, functions, +macros, syntax tables, searching/matching, modes, windows, keymaps, byte +compilation, and the operating system interface. + +`The GNU Awk User's Guide' (Edition 1.0 for Version 3.0) tells how to use +`gawk'. It is written for those who have never used `awk' and describes +features of this powerful string and record manipulation language. It +clearly delineates those features which are part of POSIX `awk' from `gawk' +extensions, providing a comprehensive guide to `awk' program portability. + +`GNU Make' (Edition 0.50 for Version 3.75 Beta) describes GNU `make', a +program used to rebuild parts of other programs. The manual tells how to +write "makefiles", which specify how a program is to be compiled and how its +files depend on each other. Included are an introductory chapter for novice +users and a section about automatically generated dependencies. + +The `Flex' manual (Edition 1.03 for Version 2.3.7) teaches you to write a +lexical scanner definition for the `flex' program to create a C++ or C-coded +scanner that recognizes the patterns defined. You need no prior knowledge of +scanners. + +`The Bison Manual' (November 1995 Edition for Version 1.25) teaches you how +to write context-free grammars for the Bison program that convert into +C-coded parsers. You need no prior knowledge of parser generators. + +`Using and Porting GNU CC' (November 1995 Edition for Version 2.7.2) tells +how to run, install, and port the GNU C Compiler to new systems. It lists +new features and incompatibilities of GCC, but people not familiar with C +will still need a good reference on the C programming language. It also +covers G++. + +The `Texinfo' manual (Edition 2.24 for Version 3) explains the markup +language that produces our online Info documentation & typeset hardcopies. +It tells you how to make tables, lists, chapters, nodes, accented & special +characters, indexes, cross references, & how to catch mistakes. + +`The Termcap Manual' (3rd Edition for Version 1.3), often described as "twice +as much as you ever wanted to know about termcap," details the format of the +termcap database, the definitions of terminal capabilities, and the process +of interrogating a terminal description. This manual is primarily for +programmers. + +The `C Library Reference Manual' (Edition 0.08 for Version 2.0) describes the +library's facilities, including both what Unix calls "library functions" & +"system calls." We are doing small copier runs of this manual until it +becomes more stable. Please send fixes to `bug-glibc-manual@prep.ai.mit.edu'. + +The `Emacs Calc Manual' (for Version 2.02) is both a tutorial and a reference +manual. It tells how to do ordinary arithmetic, how to use Calc for algebra, +calculus, and other forms of mathematics, and how to extend Calc. + + + +GNU Software +************ + +All our software is available via FTP; see *Note How to Get GNU Software::. +We also offer *Note CD-ROMs::, and printed *Note Documentation::, which +includes manuals and reference cards. In the articles describing the +contents of each medium, the version number listed after each program name +was current when we published this Bulletin. When you order a newer CD-ROM, +some of the programs may be newer and therefore the version number higher. +See the *note Free Software Foundation Order Form::., for ordering +information. + +Some of the contents of our FTP distributions are compressed. We have +software on our FTP sites to uncompress these files. Due to patent troubles +with `compress', we use another compression program, `gzip'. (Such +prohibitions on software development are fought by the League for Programming +Freedom; *note What Is the LPF::., for details.) + +You may need to build GNU `make' before you build our other software. Some +vendors supply no `make' utility at all and some native `make' programs lack +the `VPATH' feature essential for using the GNU configure system to its full +extent. The GNU `make' sources have a shell script to build `make' itself on +such systems. + +We welcome all bug reports and enhancements sent to the appropriate +electronic mailing list (*note Free Software Support::.). + + + +Configuring GNU Software +------------------------ + +We are using Autoconf, a uniform scheme for configuring GNU software packages +in order to compile them (see "Autoconf" and "Automake" below, in this +article). The goal is to have all GNU software support the same alternatives +for naming machine and system types. + +Ultimately, it will be possible to configure and build the entire system all +at once, eliminating the need to configure each individual package separately. + +You can also specify both the host and target system to build +cross-compilation tools. Most GNU programs now use Autoconf-generated +configure scripts. + + + +GNU Software Now Available +-------------------------- + +For future programs and features, see *Note Forthcoming GNUs::. + +Key to cross reference: + + BinCD January 1997 Binaries CD-ROM + SrcCD January 1997 Source CD-ROMs + +[FSFman] shows that we sell a manual for that package. [FSFrc] shows we sell +a reference card for that package. To order them, see the *note Free +Software Foundation Order Form::. *Note Documentation::, for more +information on the manuals. Source code for each manual or reference card is +included with each package. + + * `acm' (SrcCD) + + `acm' is a LAN-oriented, multiplayer, aerial combat simulation that runs + under the X Window System. Players engage in air to air combat against + one another using heat seeking missiles and cannons. We are working on + a more accurate simulation of real airplane flight characteristics. + + * Apache *Also see* `http://www.apache.org/' (SrcCD) + + Apache is an HTTP server designed as a successor to the NCSA family of + web servers. It adds a significant amount of new functionality, has an + extensive API for modular enhancements, is extremely flexible without + compromising speed, and has an active development group and user + community. + + * Autoconf (SrcCD) + + Autoconf produces shell scripts which automatically configure source code + packages. These scripts adapt the packages to many kinds of Unix-like + systems without manual user intervention. Autoconf creates a script for + a package from a template file which lists the operating system features + which the package can use, in the form of `m4' macro calls. Autoconf + requires GNU `m4' to operate, but the resulting configure scripts it + generates do not. + + * Automake (SrcCD) + + Automake is a tool for generating `Makefile.in's for use with Autoconf. + The generated makefiles are compliant with GNU Makefile standards. + + * BASH (SrcCD) + + GNU's shell, BASH (Bourne Again SHell), is compatible with the Unix `sh' + and offers many extensions found in `csh' and `ksh'. BASH has job + control, `csh'-style command history, command-line editing (with Emacs + and `vi' modes built-in), and the ability to rebind keys via the + `readline' library. BASH conforms to the POSIX 1003.2-1992 standard. + + * `bc' (SrcCD) + + `bc' is an interactive algebraic language with arbitrary precision + numbers. GNU `bc' follows the POSIX 1003.2-1992 standard with several + extensions, including multi-character variable names, an `else' + statement, and full Boolean expressions. The RPN calculator `dc' is now + distributed as part of the same package, but GNU `bc' is not implemented + as a `dc' preprocessor. + + * BFD (BinCD, SrcCD) + + The Binary File Descriptor library allows a program which operates on + object files (e.g., `ld' or GDB) to support many different formats in a + clean way. BFD provides a portable interface, so that only BFD needs to + know the details of a particular format. One result is that all + programs using BFD will support formats such as a.out, COFF, and ELF. + BFD comes with Texinfo source for a manual (not yet published on paper). + + At present, BFD is not distributed separately; it is included with + packages that use it. + + * Binutils (BinCD, SrcCD) + + Binutils includes these programs: `ar', `c++filt', `demangle', `gas', + `gprof', `ld', `nlmconv', `nm', `objcopy', `objdump', `ranlib', `size', + `strings', & `strip'. + + Binutils version 2 uses the BFD library. The GNU assembler, `gas', + supports the a29k, Alpha, H8/300, H8/500, HP-PA, i386, i960, m68k, m88k, + MIPS, NS32K, SH, SPARC, Tahoe, Vax, and Z8000 CPUs, and attempts to be + compatible with many other assemblers for Unix and embedded systems. It + can produce mixed C and assembly listings, and includes a macro facility + similar to that in some other assemblers. GNU's linker, `ld', emits + source-line numbered error messages for multiply-defined symbols and + undefined references, and interprets a superset of AT&T's Linker Command + Language, which gives control over where segments are placed in memory. + `nlmconv' converts object files into Novell NetWare Loadable Modules. + `objdump' can disassemble code for most of the CPUs listed above, and + can display other data (e.g., symbols and relocations) from any file + format read by BFD. + + * Bison *See *Note Documentation::* (BinCD, SrcCD) [FSFman, FSFrc] + + Bison is an upwardly compatible replacement for the parser generator + `yacc'. Texinfo source for the `Bison Manual' and reference card are + included. + + * C Library *See *Note Forthcoming GNUs::* (BinCD, SrcCD) [FSFman] + + The GNU C library supports ISO C-1989, ISO C/amendment 1-1995, POSIX + 1003.1-1990, POSIX 1003.1b-1993, POSIX 1003.1c-1995 (when the underlying + system permits), & most of the functions in POSIX 1003.2-1992. It is + nearly compliant with the extended XPG4.2 specification which guarantees + upward compatibility with 4.4BSD & many System V functions. + + When used with the GNU Hurd, the C Library performs many functions of the + Unix system calls directly. Mike Haertel has written a fast `malloc' + which wastes less memory than the old GNU version. + + GNU `stdio' lets you define new kinds of streams, just by writing a few + C functions. Two methods for handling translated messages help writing + internationalized programs & the user can adopt the environment the + program runs in to conform with local conventions. Extended `getopt' + functions are already used to parse options, including long options, in + many GNU utilities. The name lookup functions now are modularized which + makes it easier to select the service which is needed for the specific + database & the document interface makes it easy to add new services. + Texinfo source for the `GNU C Library Reference Manual' is included + (*note Documentation::.). + + Previous versions of the GNU C library ran on a large number of systems. + The architecture-dependent parts of the C library have not been updated + since development on version 2.0 started, so today it runs out of the + box only on GNU/Hurd (all platforms GNU/Hurd also runs on) & GNU/Linux + (ix86, Alpha, m68k, work is in progress for MIPS & Sparc). Other + architectures will become available again as soon as somebody does the + port. + + * C++ Library (BinCD, SrcCD) + + The GNU C++ library (libg++) contains an extensive collection of + container and utility classes, including Obstacks, multiple-precision + Integers and Rationals, Complex numbers, BitSets, and BitStrings. + + The distribution also includes the libstdc++ library. This implements + library facilities defined by the forthcoming ANSI/ISO C++ standard, + including strings, the iostream library, and a port of the Standard + Template Library. + + * Calc (SrcCD) [FSFman, FSFrc] + + Calc (written by Dave Gillespie in Emacs Lisp) is an extensible, advanced + desk calculator & mathematical tool that runs as part of GNU Emacs. You + can use Calc as a simple four-function calculator, but it has many more + features including: choice of algebraic or RPN (stack-based) entry; + logarithmic, trigonometric, & financial functions; arbitrary precision; + complex numbers; vectors; matrices; dates; times; infinities; sets; + algebraic simplification; & differentiation & integration. It outputs to + `gnuplot', & comes with source for a manual & reference card (*note + Documentation::.). + + * `cfengine' (SrcCD) + + `cfengine' is used to maintain site-wide configuration of a + heterogeneous Unix network using a simple high level language. Its + appearance is similar to `rdist', but allows many more operations to be + performed automatically. See Mark Burgess, "A Site Configuration + Engine", `Computing Systems', Vol. 8, No. 3 (ask `office@usenix.org' how + to get a copy). + + * Chess (SrcCD) + + GNU Chess lets most modern computers play a full game of chess. It has + a plain terminal interface, a curses interface, & the unique X Windows + interface `xboard'. Best results are obtained using GNU C to compile + GNU Chess. + + Recent improvements include "configure"-capability, correct thinking on + opponent's time, makefile for Windows NT, full Windows 95/NT + compatibility, parallel Unix & Windows 95/NT versions, major crash bug + fix & various other minor improvements & bug fixes. + + Stuart Cracraft founded GNU Chess & is the project lead for the 10+ year + history of GNU Chess.

Play GNU Chess on the web at + `http://www.delorie.com/game-room/chess'. + + * CLISP (SrcCD) + + CLISP is a Common Lisp implementation by Bruno Haible & Michael Stoll. + It mostly supports the Lisp described by `Common LISP: The Language (2nd + edition)' & the ANSI Common Lisp standard. CLISP includes an + interpreter, a byte-compiler, a large subset of CLOS & a foreign language + interface. The user interface language (English, German, French) can be + chosen at run time. An X11 API is available through CLX & Garnet. + CLISP needs only 2 MB of memory & runs on many microcomputers (including + MS-DOS systems, OS/2, Windows NT, Windows 95, Amiga 500-4000, & Acorn + RISC PC) & all kinds of Unix systems. + + * Common Lisp *Also *note GNUs Flashes::.* (SrcCD) + + GNU Common Lisp (GCL, formerly known as Kyoto Common Lisp) is a compiler + & interpreter for Common Lisp. GCL is very portable & extremely + efficient on a wide class of applications, & compares favorably in + performance with commercial Lisps on several large theorem-prover & + symbolic algebra systems. GCL supports the CLtL1 specification but is + moving towards the proposed ANSI standard. + + GCL compiles to C & then uses the native optimizing C compiler (e.g., + GCC). A function with a fixed number of args & one value turns into a C + function of the same number of args, returning one value--so GCL is + maximally efficient on such calls. Its conservative garbage collector + gives great freedom to the C compiler to put Lisp values in registers. + It has a source level Lisp debugger for interpreted code & displays + source code in an Emacs window. Its profiler (based on the C profiling + tools) counts function calls & the time spent in each function. + + There is now a built-in interface to the Tk widget system. It runs in a + separate process, so users may monitor progress on Lisp computations or + interact with running computations via a windowing interface. + + There is also an Xlib interface via C (xgcl-2). CLX runs with GCL, as + does PCL (see "PCL" later in this article). + + GCL version 2.2.1 is released under the GNU Library General Public + License. + + * CLX (SrcCD) + + CLX is an X Window interface library for GCL. This is separate from the + built-in TK interface. + + * `cpio' (SrcCD) + + `cpio' is an archive program with all the features of SVR4 `cpio', + including support for the final POSIX 1003.1 `ustar' standard. `mt', a + program to position magnetic tapes, is included with `cpio'. + + * CVS (SrcCD) + + CVS is a version control system (like RCS or SCCS) which allows you to + keep old versions of files (usually source code), keep a log of who, + when, and why changes occurred, etc. It handles multiple developers, + multiple directories, triggers to enable/log/control various operations, + and can work over a wide area network. It does not handle build + management or bug-tracking; these are handled by `make' and GNATS, + respectively. + + * DejaGnu (SrcCD) + + DejaGnu is a framework to test programs with a single front end for all + tests. DejaGnu's flexibility & consistency makes it easy to write tests. + DejaGnu will also work with remote hosts and embedded systems. + + DejaGnu comes with `expect', which runs scripts to conduct dialogs with + programs. + + * Diffutils (SrcCD) + + GNU `diff' compares files showing line-by-line changes in several + flexible formats. It is much faster than traditional Unix versions. The + Diffutils package has `diff', `diff3', `sdiff', & `cmp'. Future plans + include support for internationalization (e.g., error messages in + Chinese) & some non-Unix PC environments, & a library interface that can + be used by other free software. + + * DJGPP *Also see "GCC" in this article* (BinCD) + + DJ Delorie has ported GCC/G++ to i386s running DOS. DJGPP has a 32-bit + i386 DOS extender with a symbolic debugger, development libraries, & + ports of Bison, `flex', & Binutils. Full source code is provided. It + needs at least 5MB of hard disk space to install & 512K of RAM to use. + It supports SVGA (up to 1024x768), XMS & VDISK memory allocation, + `himem.sys', VCPI (e.g., QEMM, DESQview, & 386MAX), & DPMI (e.g., + Windows 3.x, OS/2, QEMM, & QDPMI). Version 2 was released in Feb. 1996, + & needs a DPMI environment; a free DPMI server is included. + + FTP from `ftp.simtel.net' in `/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/' (or a SimTel + mirror site). + + Ask `listserv@delorie.com', to join a DJGPP users mailing list. + + * `dld' (SrcCD) + + `dld' is a dynamic linker written by W. Wilson Ho. Linking your program + with the `dld' library allows you to dynamically load object files into + the running binary. `dld' supports a.out object types on the following + platforms: Convex C-Series (BSD), i386/i486/Pentium (GNU/Linux), Sequent + Symmetry i386 (Dynix 3), Sun-3 (SunOS 3 & 4), Sun-4 (SunOS 4), & VAX + (Ultrix). + + * `doschk' (SrcCD) + + This program is a utility to help software developers ensure that their + source file names are distinguishable on System V platforms with + 14-character filenames and on MS-DOS systems with 8+3 character + filenames. + + * `ed' (SrcCD) + + `ed' is the standard text editor. It is line-oriented and can be used + interactively or in scripts. + + * Elib (SrcCD) + + Elib is a small library of Emacs Lisp functions, including routines for + using AVL trees and doubly-linked lists. + + * Elisp archive (SrcCD) + + This is a snapshot of Ohio State's GNU Emacs Lisp FTP Archive. FTP it + from `archive.cis.ohio-state.edu' in `/pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive'. + + * Emacs *Also *note Forthcoming GNUs::.* [FSFman(s), FSFrc] + + In 1975, Richard Stallman developed the first Emacs, an extensible, + customizable real-time display editor & computing environment. GNU Emacs + is his second implementation. It offers true Lisp--smoothly integrated + into the editor--for writing extensions & provides an interface to the X + Window System. It runs on Unix, MS-DOS, & Windows NT or 95. In + addition to its powerful native command set, Emacs can emulate the + editors vi & EDT (DEC's VMS editor). Emacs has many other features which + make it a full computing support environment. Source for the `GNU Emacs + Manual' & a reference card comes with the software. Sources for the + `GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual', & `Programming in Emacs Lisp: An + Introduction' are distributed in separate packages. *Note + Documentation::. + + * Emacs 19 (SrcCD) [FSFman(s), FSFrc] + + Emacs 19 works with character-only terminals & with the X Window System + (with or without an X toolkit). Features new to Emacs 19 include: + multiple X windows ("frames" to Emacs), with a separate X window for the + minibuffer or a minibuffer attached to each X window; use of the X + toolkit; interfacing with the X resource manager; property lists + associated with regions of text in a buffer; multiple fonts & colors + defined by those properties; simplified/improved processing of function + keys, mouse movement & clicks; X selection processing, including + clipboard selections; hooks to be run if the point or mouse moves + outside a certain range; menu bars & popup menus defined by keymaps; + scrollbars; before- & after-change hooks; a source-level debugger for + Emacs Lisp programs; floating point numbers; improved buffer allocation, + including returning storage to the system when a buffer is killed; many + updated libraries; Autoconf-based configuration; support for version + control systems (CVS, RCS, & SCCS); & European character sets. + + Features added recently to Emacs 19 include the ability to open frames + on more than one X display from a single Emacs job, operation under + MS-DOS, MS Windows, and Windows NT, displaying multiple views of an + outline at the same time, Lisp-level timers for real time and idle time, + version control support for CVS and for multiple branches, text + properties for formatting text, commands to edit text properties and + save them in files, and GNU-standard long-named command line options. + Also see *Note Forthcoming GNUs::. + + Emacs 19 works on: Acorn RISC (RISCiX); Alliant FX/2800 (BSD); Alpha + (OSF/1 or GNU/Linux); Apollo (DomainOS); Bull DPX/2 2nn & 3nn (SysV.3) & + sps7 (SysV.2); Clipper; Convex (BSD); Cubix QBx (SysV); Data General + Aviion (DGUX); DEC MIPS (Ultrix 4.2, OSF/1, not VMS); Elxsi 6400 (SysV); + Gould Power Node & NP1 (4.2 & 4.3BSD); Harris Night Hawk 1200, 3000, + 4000 & 5000 (cxux); Harris Night Hawk Power PC (powerunix); Honeywell + XPS100 (SysV); HP 9000 series 200, 300, 700, 800 (but not 500) (4.3BSD; + HP-UX 7, 8, 9; NextStep); Intel i386/i486/Pentium (GNU/Hurd, GNU/Linux, + 386BSD, AIX, BSDI/386, FreeBSD, Esix, ISC, MS-DOS, NetBSD, SCO3.2v4, + Solaris, SysV, Xenix, WindowsNT, Windows95); IBM RS/6000 (AIX 3.2) & + RT/PC (AIX, BSD); Motorola Delta 147 & 187 (SysV.3, SysV.4, m88kbcs); + National Semiconductor 32K (Genix); NeXT (BSD, Mach 2 w/ NeXTStep 3.0); + Paragon (OSF/1); Prime EXL (SysV); Pyramid (BSD); Sequent Symmetry (BSD, + ptx); Siemens RM400 & RM600 (SysV); SGI Iris 4D (Irix 4.x & 5.x); Sony + News/RISC (NewsOS); Stardent i860 (SysV); Sun 3 & 4, SPARC 1, 1+, 2, 10, + Classic (SunOS 4.0, 4.1, Solaris 2.0-2.3); Tadpole 68k (SysV); Tektronix + XD88 (SysV.3) & 4300 (BSD); & Titan P2 & P3 (SysV). + + * Emacs 18 (SrcCD) [FSFrc] + + Emacs 18 is several years old.

Like `rc', it is great for both + interactive use and scripting, particularly since its quoting rules are + much less baroque than the C and Bourne shells. + + * `enscript' (SrcCD) + + `enscript' is an upwardly-compatible replacement for the Adobe + `enscript' program. It formats ASCII files (outputting in Postscript) + and stores generated output to a file or sends it directly to the + printer. + + * Exim (SrcCD) + + Exim is a new Internet mail transfer agent, similar in style to Smail 3. + It can handle relatively high volume mail systems, header rewriting, + control over which hosts/nets may use it as a relay, blocking of + unwanted mail from specified hosts/nets/senders, and multiple local + domains on one mail host ("virtual domains") with several options for + the way these are handled. + + * `f2c' *Also see "Fortran" below & in *Note Forthcoming GNUs::* + (SrcCD) + + `f2c' converts Fortran-77 source into C or C++, which can be compiled + with GCC or G++. Get bug fixes by FTP from site `netlib.bell-labs.com' + or by email from `netlib@netlib.bell-labs.com'. For a summary, see the + file `/netlib/f2c/readme.Z'. + + * `ffcall' (SrcCD) + + `ffcall' is a C library for implementing foreign function calls in + embedded interpreters by Bill Triggs and Bruno Haible. It allows C + functions with arbitrary argument lists and return types to be called or + emulated (callbacks). + + * Fileutils (SrcCD) + + The Fileutils are: `chgrp', `chmod', `chown', `cp', `dd', `df', `dir', + `dircolors', `du', `install', `ln', `ls', `mkdir', `mkfifo', `mknod', + `mv', `rm', `rmdir', `sync', `touch', & `vdir'. + + * Findutils (SrcCD) + + `find' is frequently used both interactively and in shell scripts to + find files which match certain criteria and perform arbitrary operations + on them. Also included are `locate', which scans a database for file + names that match a pattern, and `xargs', which applies a command to a + list of files. + + * Finger (SrcCD) + + GNU Finger has more features than other finger programs. For sites with + many hosts, a single host may be designated as the finger "server" host + and other hosts at that site configured as finger "clients". The server + host collects information about who is logged in on the clients. To + finger a user at a GNU Finger site, a query to any of its client hosts + gets useful information. GNU Finger supports many customization + features, including user output filters and site-programmable output for + special target names. + + * `flex' (BinCD, SrcCD) [FSFman, FSFrc] + + `flex' is a replacement for the `lex' scanner generator. `flex' was + written by Vern Paxson of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and generates + far more efficient scanners than `lex' does. Sources for the `Flex + Manual' and reference card are included (*note Documentation::.). + + * Fortran (`g77') *Also *note Forthcoming GNUs::.* (SrcCD) + + GNU Fortran (`g77'), developed by Craig Burley, is available for public + beta testing on the Internet. For now, `g77' produces code that is + mostly object-compatible with `f2c' & uses the same run-time library + (`libf2c'). + + * Fontutils (SrcCD) + + The Fontutils convert between font formats, create fonts for use with + Ghostscript or TeX (starting with a scanned type image & converting the + bitmaps to outlines), etc. It includes: `bpltobzr', `bzrto', + `charspace', `fontconvert', `gsrenderfont', `imageto', `imgrotate', + `limn', & `xbfe'. + + * GAWK (SrcCD) [FSFman] + + GAWK is upwardly compatible with the latest POSIX specification of + `awk'. It also provides several useful extensions not found in other + `awk' implementations. Texinfo source for the `The GNU Awk User's + Guide' comes with the software (*note Documentation::.). + + * `gcal' (SrcCD) + + `gcal' is a program for printing calendars. It displays different + styled calendar sheets, eternal holiday lists, and fixed date warning + lists. + + * GCC *Also *note GNUs Flashes::.* (BinCD, SrcCD) [FSFman] + + Version 2 of the GNU C Compiler supports the languages C, C++, and + Objective-C; the source file name suffix or a compiler option selects + the language. (Also see "GNAT" later in this article for Ada language + supports.) Objective-C support was donated by NeXT. The runtime support + needed to run Objective-C programs is now distributed with GCC (this + does not include any Objective-C classes aside from `object', but see + "GNUstep" in *Note Forthcoming GNUs::). As much as possible, G++ is + kept compatible with the evolving draft ANSI standard, but not with + `cfront' (AT&T's compiler), which has been diverging from ANSI. + + GCC is a fairly portable optimizing compiler which performs many + optimizations. They include: automatic register allocation, common + sub-expression elimination (CSE) (including a certain amount of CSE + between basic blocks - though not all the supported machine descriptions + provide for scheduling or delay slots), invariant code motion from + loops, induction variable optimizations, constant propagation, copy + propagation, delayed popping of function call arguments, tail recursion + elimination, integration of inline functions & frame pointer elimination, + instruction scheduling, loop unrolling, filling of delay slots, leaf + function optimization, optimized multiplication by constants, the + ability to assign attributes to instructions, & many local optimizations + automatically deduced from the machine description. + + GCC can open-code most arithmetic on 64-bit values (type `long long + int'). It supports extended floating point (type `long double') on the + 68k; other machines will follow. GCC supports full ANSI C, traditional + C, & GNU C extensions (including: nested functions support, nonlocal + gotos, & taking the address of a label). + + GCC can generate a.out, COFF, ELF, & OSF-Rose files when used with a + suitable assembler. It can produce debugging information in these + formats: BSD stabs, COFF, ECOFF, ECOFF with stabs, & DWARF. + + GCC generates code for many CPUs, including the a29k, Alpha, ARM, AT&T, + DSP1610, Clipper, Convex cN, Elxsi, Fujitsu Gmicro, i370, i860, i960, + MIL-STD-1750a, MIPS, ns32k, PDP-11, Pyramid, ROMP, RS/6000, SH, SPUR, + Tahoe, VAX, & we32k. + + Position-independent code is generated for the Clipper, Hitachi H8/300, + HP-PA (1.0 & 1.1), i386/i486/Pentium, m68k, m88k, SPARC, & SPARClite. + + Operating systems supported include: GNU/Hurd, GNU/Linux, ACIS, AIX, AOS, + BSD, Clix, Concentrix, Ctix, DG/UX, Dynix, FreeBSD, Genix, HP-UX, Irix, + ISC, Luna, LynxOS, Minix, NetBSD, NewsOS, NeXTStep, OS/2, OSF, OSF-Rose, + RISCOS, SCO, Solaris 2, SunOS 4, System/370, SysV, Ultrix, Unos, VMS, & + Windows/NT. + + Using the configuration scheme for GCC, building a cross-compiler is as + easy as building a native compiler. + + Version 1 of GCC, G++, & libg++ are no longer maintained. + + Texinfo source for the `Using and Porting GNU CC' manual is included + with GCC (*note Documentation::.). + + * GDB (BinCD, SrcCD) [FSFman, FSFrc] + + GDB, the GNU DeBugger, is a source-level debugger for C, C++, & Fortran. + It provides partial support for Modula-2 & Chill. + + GDB can debug both C & C++, & will work with executables made by many + different compilers; but, C++ debugging will have some limitations if + you do not use GCC. + + GDB has a command line user interface, and Emacs has GDB mode as an + interface. Two X interfaces (not distributed or maintained by the FSF) + are: `gdbtk' (FTP it from `ftp.cygnus.com' in directory `/pub/gdb'); and + `xxgdb' (FTP it from `ftp.x.org' in directory `/contrib/utilities'). + + Executable files and symbol tables are read via the BFD library, which + allows a single copy of GDB to debug programs with multiple object file + formats (e.g., a.out, COFF, ELF). Other features include a rich command + language, remote debugging over serial lines or TCP/IP, and watchpoints + (breakpoints triggered when the value of an expression changes). + + GDB uses a standard remote interface to a simulator library which (so + far) has simulators for the ARM, Hitachi H8/300, Hitachi H8/500, Hitachi + Super-H, PowerPC, WDC 65816, & Zilog Z8001/2. + + GDB can perform cross-debugging. To say that GDB "targets" a platform + means it can perform native or cross-debugging for it.

Sources for the manual, + `Debugging with GDB', and a reference card are included (*note + Documentation::.). + + * `gdbm' (SrcCD) + + `gdbm' is the GNU replacement for the traditional `dbm' and `ndbm' + libraries. It implements a database using quick lookup by hashing. + `gdbm' does not ordinarily make sparse files (unlike its Unix and BSD + counterparts). + + * `gettext' *Also *note Help the GNU Translation Project::.* (SrcCD) + + The GNU `gettext' tool set has everything maintainers need to + internationalize a package's user messages. Once a package has been + internationalized, `gettext''s many tools help translators localize + messages to their native language and automate handling the translation + files. + + * Generic NQS (SrcCD) + + Generic NQS is a network queuing system for spreading batch jobs across a + network of machines. It is designed to be simple to install on a + heterogeneous network of machines, and has optimizations for running on + the high end, symmetric multiprocessing servers that are currently on the + market. It is available for many more UNIX variants than any other + comparable product, and inter-operates with other NQS systems, including + Cray's NQE. + + * `geomview' *See* `http://www.geom.umn.edu/software/geomview' (SrcCD) + + `geomview' is an interactive geometry viewing program, for UNIX systems + with Motif, using X, GL, or OpenGL graphics. It allows multiple + independently controllable objects and cameras. `geomview' provides + interactive control for motion, appearances (including lighting, + shading, and materials), picking on an object, edge or vertex level, and + snapshots in PPM or SGI image files, Postscript, and Renderman RIB + format. `geomview' can be controlled through direct mouse manipulation, + control panels, and keyboard shortcuts.

*note Free + Software Foundation Order Form::. + + * December 1993 Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM, see the *note Free + Software Foundation Order Form::. + +Our CDs are in ISO 9660 format & can be mounted as a read-only file system on +most computers. If your driver supports it, you can mount each CD with "Rock +Ridge" extensions & it will look like a regular Unix file system, rather than +one full of truncated & otherwise mangled names that fit vanilla ISO 9660. + +You can build most of the software without copying the sources off the CD. +You only need enough disk space for object files and intermediate build +targets. + + + +Pricing of the GNU CD-ROMs +-------------------------- + +If a business or organization is ultimately paying, the January 1997 Source CD +set costs $240. The set costs $60 if you, an individual, are paying out of +your own pocket. The January 1997 Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM costs $220 +for a business or organization, and $55 for an individual. + + + +What Do the Different Prices Mean? +.................................. + +The software on our disks is free; anyone can copy it and anyone can run it. +What we charge for is the physical disk and the service of distribution. + +We charge two different prices depending on who is buying. When a company or +other organization buys the January 1997 Source CD-ROMs, we charge $240. +When an individual buys the same CD-ROMs, we charge just $60. This +distinction is not a matter of who is allowed to use the software. In either +case, once you have a copy, you can distribute as many copies as you wish and +there's no restriction on who can have or run them. The price distinction is +entirely a matter of what kind of entity pays for the CDs. + +You, the reader, are certainly an individual, not a company. If you are +buying a disk "in person", then you are probably doing so as an individual. +But if you expect to be reimbursed by your employer, then the disk is really +for the company; so please pay the company price and get reimbursed for it. +We won't try to check up on you--we use the honor system--so please cooperate. + +Buying CDs at the company price is very helpful for GNU; just +150 Source CDs at that price support an FSF programmer or tech writer for a +year. + + + +Why Is There an Individual Price? +................................. + +In the past, our distribution tapes were ordered mainly by companies. The CD +at the price of $240 provides them with all of our software for a much lower +price than they would previously have paid for six different tapes. To lower +the price more would cut into the FSF's funds very badly and decrease the +software development we can do. + +However, for individuals, $240 is too high a price; hardly anyone could +afford that. So we decided to make CDs available to individuals at the lower +price of $60. + + + +Is There a Maximum Price? +......................... + +Our stated prices are minimum prices. Feel free to pay a higher price if you +wish to support GNU development more. The sky's the limit; we will accept as +high a price as you can offer. Or simply give a donation (tax-deductible in +the U.S.) to the Free Software Foundation, a tax-exempt public charity. + + + +January 1997 Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM +------------------------------------------- + +The fourth edition of our CD-ROM that has binaries and complete sources for +GNU compiler tools for some systems which lack a compiler, will be available +at the end of January 1997. This enables the people who use these systems to +compile GNU and other free software without having to buy a proprietary +compiler. You can also use these GNU tools to compile your own +C/C++/Objective-C programs. Older editions of this CD are available while +supplies last at a reduced price; see the *note Free Software Foundation +Order Form::. + +We hope to have more systems on each update of this CD. If you can help +build binaries for new systems (especially those that don't come with a C +compiler), or have one to suggest, please contact us at the addresses on the +top menu. + +These packages: + + * DJGPP + * GCC/G++/Objective-C + * GNU C Library + * GDB + * Binutils + * Bison + * Emacs (MS-DOS only) + * Flex + * Make + * libg++ + +On these platforms: + + * `i386-msdos' + * `hppa1.1-hp-hpux9' + * `hppa1.1-hp-hpux10' + * `powerpc-ibm-aix4.2' + * `sparc-sun-solaris2.4' + * `sparc-sun-solaris2.5' + * `sparc-sun-sunos4.1' + + + +Source Code CD-ROMs +------------------- + +We have several versions of our Source Code CD-ROMs available, including: + + * *Note January 1997 Source Code CD-ROMs::, the newest release, has + programs, bug fixes, & improvements not on the other CDs. + + * *Note July 1996 Source Code CD-ROMs::. + + * December 1995 Source Code CD-ROMs, see the *note Free Software + Foundation Order Form::. + + * June 1995 Source Code CD-ROM, see the *note Free Software Foundation + Order Form::. + + * May 1994 Source Code CD-ROM, see the *note Free Software Foundation + Order Form::. + + * November 1993 Source Code CD-ROM, see the *note Free Software Foundation + Order Form::. + + * May 1993 Source Code CD-ROM, see the *note Free Software Foundation + Order Form::. + + * October 1992 Source Code CD-ROM, see the *note Free Software Foundation + Order Form::. + +The older Source CDs are available while supplies last at a reduced price +(please note that the December 1994 Source CD is permanently out of stock). +All the Source CDs have Texinfo source for the GNU manuals listed in *Note +Documentation::. + +MIT Scheme & much of X11 is *not* on the older Source CDs. + +There are no precompiled programs on these Source CDs. You will need a C +compiler (programs which need some other interpreter or compiler normally +provide the C source for a bootstrapping program). We ship C compiler +binaries for some systems on the *Note Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM::. + + + +January 1997 Source Code CD-ROMs +................................ + +The 9th edition of our Source Code CD will be available at the end of January +1997 with two CD-ROM disks. It has programs, bug fixes, & improvements not +on the older Source CDs. It has these packages, & some manuals that are not +part of packages.

For a one-time cost equivalent to three Source CD-ROMs (plus +shipping in some cases), we will ship you four new versions of the *Note +Source Code CD-ROMs::. The CD-ROMs are sent as they are issued (currently +twice a year, but we hope to make it more frequent). We do not yet know if +we will be offering subscriptions to the Compiler Tools Binaries CD. + +A subscription is an easy way to keep up with the regular bug fixes to the X +Window System. Each edition of the *Note Source Code CD-ROMs::, has updated +sources for the X Window System. + +Please note: In two cases, you must pay 4 times the normal shipping required +for a single order when you pay for each subscription. If you're in Alaska, +Hawaii, or Puerto Rico you must add $20.00 for shipping for each +subscription. If you're outside of the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico, you +must add $80.00 for each subscription. See "CD-ROMs" and "Tax and Shipping +Costs" on the *note Free Software Foundation Order Form::. + + + +FSF T-shirt +*********** + +The front of our T-shirt has the GNU Emacs Lisp code `(USE 'GNU)' with "`()'" +being the dancing parentheses from the cover of our `GNU Emacs Lisp Reference +Manual' (drawn by Berkeley, CA artist Etienne Suvasa). The shirt's back has +the Preamble to the GNU General Public License. + +These shirts come in black, purple, red, pink, burgundy, blue, and natural +(off-white). When you order, please give 3 choices. Black and purple are +printed in white; the other colors are printed in black. All shirts are +thick 100% cotton, and come in sizes S, M, L, XL, and XXL (but they run small +so you may want a larger size than usual). + +GNU T-shirts often create spontaneous friendships at conferences & on +university campuses. They also make great gifts for friends & family, +including children! + + + +Free Software Foundation Order Form +*********************************** + +All items are distributed with permission to copy and to redistribute. +Texinfo source for each manual and source for each reference card is on the +appropriate CD-ROM; the prices for these media do not include printed +documentation.
