+
+* GNU and the Free Software Foundation
+
+Project GNU is organized as part of the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
+The Free Software Foundation has the following goals:
+  1) to create GNU as a full development/operating system.
+  2) to distribute GNU and other useful software with source code and
+permission to copy and redistribute.
+
+Further information on the rationale for GNU is in file
+/u2/emacs/etc/GNU  (All files referred to are on the Internet host
+prep.ai.mit.edu (aka mit-prep.arpa).)
+
+Information on GNU Internet mailing lists can be found in file
+/u2/emacs/etc/MAILINGLISTS
+
+* How To Get The Software
+
+The easiest way to get a copy of the distribution is from someone else
+who has it.  You need not ask for permission to do so, or tell any one
+else; just copy it.  The second easiest is to ftp it over the ARPANET.
+The third easiest way is to uucp it.  Ftp and uucp information is in
+file /u2/emacs/etc/FTP
+
+If you cannot get a copy any of these ways, or if you would feel more
+confident getting copies straight from us, or if you would like to get
+some funds to us to help in our efforts, you can order one from the
+Free Software Foundation.  See file /u2/emacs/etc/DISTRIB
+
+* Available Software
+
+**  GNU Emacs
+
+The GNU Emacs distribution includes:
+	- manual source in TeX format.
+	- an enhanced regex (regular expression) library.
+
+See file /u2/emacs/etc/MACHINES for the status of porting Emacs to
+various machines and operating systems.
+
+** C Scheme - a block structured dialect of LISP.
+
+The Free Software Foundation distributes C Scheme for the MIT Scheme
+Project.  Problems with the C Scheme distribution and it's ftp
+distribution should be referred to: <bug-cscheme@prep.ai.mit.edu>.
+There are two general mailing lists: <scheme@mc.lcs.mit.edu> and
+<info-cscheme@prep.ai.mit.edu>.  Requests to join either list to:
+<info-cscheme-request@prep.ai.mit.edu> or
+<scheme-request@mc.lcs.mit.edu>.
+
+The C Scheme distribution should work on 32-bit machines under VMS,
+BSD 4.1 & 4.2, ATT systems 3 and 5, HPUX, and TRIX.  Some
+conditionalization may have to be done for other machines and
+operating systems.
+
+For further information on Scheme refer to: "Structure and
+Interpretation of Computer Programs", by Harold Abelson and Gerald J.
+Sussman with Julie Sussman, The MIT Press & McGraw-Hill Book Company,
+1985; and, the "Revised^3 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme",
+MIT Artificial Intelligence Memo 848a.  The later may be obtained by
+sending a check for $6.00 (as of Nov. 86) per copy (U.S. funds)
+payable to (prepayment is required):

+* No Warranties

+
+* 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, including a complete development and operating
+system, called GNU (Gnu's Not Un*x), which will run Un*x user
+programs.  For more information on GNU and the Foundation, contact us
