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 , `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 is now available. 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, 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 statements freely intermixed. When a page is requested by a browser, the page is passed through the engine, which dynamically processes any 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 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.org 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. Acknowledgements for this past year's work include Chua Kong Sian, National Supercomputing Research Center, Singapore; & Conor McCarthy, Biomolecular/Biomed Science at Griffith University, Australia. Send bugs to `bug-gnu-chess@prep.ai.mit.edu' & general comments to `info-gnu-chess@prep.ai.mit.edu'. Visit the author's website at `http://www.win.net/~msm/index.html'. 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. We no longer maintain it, but still distribute it for those using platforms which Emacs 19 does not support: Alliant FX/80, Altos 3068, Amdahl (UTS), AT&T (3Bs & 7300 PC), CCI 5/32 & 6/32, Celerity, DEC (VAX VMS), Dual, Encore (APC, DPC, & XPC), HLH Orion (original & 1/05), ISI (Optimum V, 80386), Masscomp, NCR Tower 32 (SVR2 & SVR3), Nixdorf Targon 31, Nu (TI & LMI), pfa50, Plexus, Prime EXL, Stride (system rel. 2), Tahoe, Tandem Integrity S2, Tektronix 16000, Triton 88, Ustation E30 (SS5E), Whitechapel (MG1), & Wicat. * `es' (SrcCD) `es' is an extensible shell (based on `rc') with first-class functions, lexical scope, exceptions, and rich return values (i.e., functions can return values other than just numbers). `es''s extensibility comes from the ability to modify and extend the shell's built-in services, such as path searching and redirection. 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. To say that GDB can "host" a given platform means that it can be built on it, but cannot necessarily debug native programs. GDB can: * "target" & "host": Amiga 3000 (Amix, NetBSD), DEC Alpha (OSF/1), DECstation 3100 & 5000 (Ultrix), HP 9000/300 (BSD, HP-UX), HP 9000/700 (HP-UX 9, 10), i386/i486/Pentium (GNU/Hurd, GNU/Linux, BSD, FreeBSD, LynxOS, NetBSD, SCO, Windows NT), IBM RS/6000 (AIX 3.x, AIX 4.x, LynxOS), Motorola Delta m88k (System V, CX/UX), PC532 (NetBSD), Motorola m68k MVME-167 (LynxOS), NCR 3000 (SVR4), PowerPC (AIX 4.x, MacOS, Windows NT), SGI (Irix V3, V4, V5), SONY News (NewsOS 3.x), SPARC (LynxOS, NetBSD, Solaris 2.x, & SunOS 4.1 ) Sun-3 (SunOS 4.1), & Ultracomputer (a29k running Sym1). * "target", but not "host": AMD 29000 (COFF & a.out), ARM (RDP), Hitachi H8/300, Hitachi SH (CMON, SH3, E7000), HP PA Pro (Winbond, Oki), i386 (a.out, COFF, OS/9000), i960 (MON960, Nindy, VxWorks), m68k/m68332 (a.out, COFF, CPU32BUG, EST, ROM68K, VxWorks), MIPS (ELF, IDT ecoff, PMON, VxWorks), PowerPC (PPCBug), Matra Sparclet, Fujitsu SPARClite (a.out, COFF), WDC 65816, & Z8000. * "host", but not "target": IBM RT/PC (AIX), HP/Apollo 68k (BSD), & m68k Apple Macintosh (MacOS). 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. External programs can also drive desired aspects of the viewer (such as continually loading changing geometry or controlling the motion of certain objects) while allowing interactive control of everything else. * `gforth' (SrcCD) `gforth' is a fast, portable implementation of the ANS Forth language. * Ghostscript (SrcCD) Ghostscript is an interpreter for the Postscript and PDF graphics languages. The current version of GNU Ghostscript, 3.33, includes nearly a full Postscript Level 2 interpreter and a PDF 1.0 interpreter. Significant new features include: support for anti-aliased characters; the ability to scan a directory and register all the fonts in it; support for Type 0 (Japanese / Chinese / Korean) fonts; and the ability to compile all the external initialization files into the executable. This version can also run as a 32-bit MS Windows application. Thanks to the generosity of URW++ (Hamburg, Germany), the low-quality bitmap-derived fonts distributed with older versions have been replaced with commercial-quality, hinted outline fonts. Ghostscript executes commands in the Postscript language by writing directly to a printer, drawing on an X window, or writing to files for printing later or manipulating with other graphics programs. Ghostscript includes a C-callable graphics library (for client programs that do not want to deal with the Postscript language). It also supports i386/i486/Pentiums running DOS with EGA, VGA or SuperVGA graphics (but please do *not* ask the FSF staff any questions about this; we do not use DOS). * Ghostview (SrcCD) Tim Theisen, `ghostview@cs.wisc.edu', created Ghostview, a previewer for multi-page files with an X Window interface. Ghostview & Ghostscript work together; Ghostview creates a viewing window & Ghostscript draws in it. * GIT (SrcCD) The GNU Interactive Tools package includes: an extensible file system browser, an ASCII/hex file viewer, a process viewer/killer, & other related utilities & shell scripts. It can be used to increase the speed & efficiency of many daily tasks, such as copying & moving files & directories, invoking editors, compressing/uncompressing files, creating & expanding archives, compiling programs, sending mail, etc. It looks nice, has colors (if the standard ANSI color sequences are supported), & is user-friendly. * `gmp' (SrcCD) GNU `mp' is a library for arithmetic on arbitrary precision integers, rational numbers, and floating-point numbers. It has a rich set of functions with a regular interface. A major new release, version 2, came out in Spring '96. Compared to previous versions, it is much faster, contains lots of new functions, & has support for arbitrary precision floating-point numbers. * Gnans (SrcCD) Gnans is a program (and language) for the numerical study of deterministic and stochastic dynamical systems. The dynamical systems may evolve in continuous or discrete time. Gnans has graphical & command line interfaces. * GNAT: The GNU Ada Translator (SrcCD) GNAT, a front end for the entire Ada 95 language, including all special needs annexes, is available via anonymous FTP from `cs.nyu.edu' and various mirror sites in `/pub/gnat'. SGI, DEC, and Siemens Nixdorf have chosen GNU Ada 95 as the Ada compiler for their systems. GNAT is maintained by Ada Core Technologies. For more information, see `http://www.gnat.com'. * GNATS (SrcCD) GNATS, GNats: A Tracking System, is a bug-tracking system. It is based upon the paradigm of a central site or organization which receives problem reports and negotiates their resolution by electronic mail. Although it has been used primarily as a software bug-tracking system so far, it is sufficiently generalized that it could be used for handling system administration issues, project management, or any number of other applications. * GNUMATH (`gnussl') (SrcCD) GNUMATH is a library (`gnussl') that simplifies scientific programming in C & C++. Its focus is on problems that can be solved by a straight-forward application of numerical linear algebra. It also handles plotting. It is in beta release; it is expected to grow more versatile & offer a wider scope in time. * `gnuplot' (SrcCD) `gnuplot' is an interactive program for plotting mathematical expressions and data. It plots both curves (2 dimensions) & surfaces (3 dimensions). It was neither written nor named for the GNU Project; the name is a coincidence. Various GNU programs use `gnuplot'. * `gnuserv' (SrcCD) `gnuserv' is an enhanced version of Emacs' `emacsclient' program. It lets the user direct a running Emacs to edit files or evaluate arbitrary Emacs Lisp constructs from another process. * GnuGo (SrcCD) GnuGo plays the game of Go. It is not yet very sophisticated. * `gperf' (SrcCD) `gperf' generates perfect hash tables. The C version is in package cperf. The C++ version is in libg++. Both produce hash functions in either C or C++. * Graphics (SrcCD) GNU Graphics produces x-y plots from ASCII or binary data. It outputs in Postscript, Tektronix 4010 compatible, and Unix device-independent "plot" formats. It has a previewer for the X Window System. Features include a `spline' interpolation program; examples of shell scripts using `graph' and `plot'; a statistics toolkit; and output in TekniCAD TDA and ln03 file formats. Email bugs or queries to Rich Murphey, `Rich@lamprey.utmb.edu'. * grep (SrcCD) This package has GNU `grep', `egrep', and `fgrep', which find lines that match entered patterns. They are much faster than the traditional Unix versions. * Groff (SrcCD) Groff is a document formatting system based on a device-independent version of `troff', & includes: `eqn', `nroff', `pic', `refer', `tbl', `troff'; the `man', `ms', & `mm' macros; & drivers for Postscript, TeX `dvi' format, the LaserJet 4 series of printers, and typewriter-like devices. Groff's `mm' macro package is almost compatible with the DWB `mm' macros with several extensions. Also included is a modified version of the Berkeley `me' macros and an enhanced version of the X11 `xditview' previewer. Written in C++, these programs can be compiled with GNU C++ Version 2.7.2 or later. Groff users are encouraged to contribute enhancements. Most needed are complete Texinfo documentation, a `grap' emulation (a `pic' preprocessor for typesetting graphs), a page-makeup postprocessor similar to `pm' (see `Computing Systems', Vol. 2, No. 2; ask `office@usenix.org' how to get a copy), and an ASCII output class for `pic' to integrate `pic' with Texinfo. Questions and bug reports from users who have read the documentation provided with Groff can be sent to `bug-groff@prep.ai.mit.edu'. * `gzip' (SrcCD) `gzip' can expand LZW-compressed files but uses another, unpatented algorithm for compression which generally produces better results. It also expands files compressed with System V's `pack' program. * `hello' (SrcCD) The GNU `hello' program produces a familiar, friendly greeting. It allows non-programmers to use a classic computer science tool which would otherwise be unavailable to them. Because it is protected by the GNU General Public License, users are free to share and change it. `hello' is also a good example of a program that meets the GNU coding standards. Like any truly useful program, `hello' contains a built-in mail reader. * `hp2xx' (SrcCD) GNU `hp2xx' reads HP-GL files, decomposes all drawing commands into elementary vectors, and converts them into a variety of vector and raster output formats. It is also an HP-GL previewer. Currently supported vector formats include encapsulated Postscript, Uniplex RGIP, Metafont, various special TeX-related formats, and simplified HP-GL (line drawing only) for imports. Raster formats supported include IMG, PBM, PCX, & HP-PCL (including Deskjet & DJ5xxC support). Previewers work under X11 (Unix), OS/2 (PM & full screen), & MS-DOS (SVGA, VGA, & HGC). * HylaFAX *Also see* `http://www.vix.com/hylafax/' (SrcCD) HylaFAX (once named FlexFAX) is a facsimile system for Unix systems. It supports sending, receiving, & polled retrieval of facsimile, as well as transparent shared data use of the modem. * Hyperbole (SrcCD) Hyperbole, written by Bob Weiner in Emacs Lisp, is an open, efficient, programmable information management, autonumbered outliner, & hypertext system, intended for everyday work on any platform Emacs runs on. * ID Utils (SrcCD) ID Utils is a package of simple, fast, high-capacity, language-independent tools that index program identifiers, literal numbers, or words of human-readable text. Queries can be issued from the command-line, or from within Emacs, serving as an augmented tags facility. * `indent' (SrcCD) GNU `indent' formats C source code into the GNU, BSD, K&R, or your own special indentation style. GNU `indent' is more robust & provides more functionality than other such programs, including handling C++ comments. It runs on Unix, DOS, VMS and ATARI systems. The next version will also format C++ source code. A Java version may be considered in the future. * Inetutils (SrcCD) Inetutils has common networking utilities & servers. This release is mainly support the GNU Hurd, which is source compatible with BSD in many ways, & will probably only work on systems that are similarly compatible. * Ispell (SrcCD) Ispell is an interactive spell checker that suggests "near misses" to replace unrecognized words. System & user-maintained dictionaries for multiple languages can be used. Standalone & Emacs interfaces are available. * JACAL *Not available from the FSF except by FTP* JACAL is a symbolic mathematics system for the manipulation & simplification of algebraic equations & expressions. It is written in Scheme using the SLIB portable Scheme Library. JACAL comes with SCM, an IEEE P1178 & R4RS compliant Scheme implementation written in C.

It has a built-in virtual file system that manipulates files inside tar files or files on remote machines using the FTP protocol. This mechanism is extendable with external Unix programs. * Miscellaneous Files Distribution (SrcCD) The GNU Miscellaneous Files are non-crucial files that are common on various systems, including word lists, airport codes, ZIP codes etc. * `mkisofs' (SrcCD) `mkisofs' is a pre-mastering program to generate an ISO 9660 file system. It takes a snapshot of a directory tree, and makes a binary image which corresponds to an ISO 9660 file system when written to a block device. It can also generate the System Use Sharing Protocol records of the Rock Ridge Interchange Protocol (used to further describe the files in an ISO 9660 file system to a Unix host; it provides information such as longer filenames, uid/gid, permissions, and device nodes). The `mkisofs' program is often used with `cdwrite'. The `cdwrite' program works by taking the image that `mkisofs' generates and driving a cdwriter drive to actually burn the disk. `cdwrite' works under GNU/Linux, and supports popular cdwriter drives. Older versions of `cdwrite' were included with older versions of `mkisofs'; `sunsite.unc.edu' has the latest version: `/pub/Linux/utils/disk-management/cdwrite-2.0.tar.gz'. * `mtools' (SrcCD) `mtools' is a set of public domain programs to allow Unix systems to read, write, and manipulate files on an MS-DOS file system (usually a diskette). * MULE (SrcCD) MULE is a MULtilingual Enhancement to GNU Emacs. MULE text buffers can contain a mix of characters from many languages including: Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, modern European languages (including Greek & Russian), Arabic, & Hebrew.

It has all the functionality of the original `ex'/`vi', except `open' mode & the `lisp' edit option. Enhancements include multiple buffers, command-line editing & path completion, integrated Perl5 & Tcl scripting languages, Cscope support & tag stacks, 8-bit data support, infinite file/line lengths, infinite undo, language catalogs, incremental search, extended regular expressions, and security fixes. It uses Autoconf for configuration and runs on any Unix-like system. * Oaklisp (SrcCD) Oaklisp is a fast, portable, object-oriented Scheme with first class types. * Objective-C Library (SrcCD) Our Objective-C Class Library (`gstep-base.tar.gz', `libgnustep-base') has general-purpose, non-graphical Objective-C objects written by Andrew McCallum & others. It includes collection classes for maintaining groups of objects, I/O streams, coders for formatting objects & C types to streams, ports for network packet transmission, distributed objects (remote object messaging), string classes, invocations, notifications, event loops, timers, exceptions, pseudo-random number generators, & more. It has the base classes for the GNUstep project; all but a few of them have already been written. Send queries & bugs to `mccallum@gnu.org'. See "GNUstep" in *Note Forthcoming GNUs::. * OBST (SrcCD) OBST is a persistent object management system with bindings to C++. OBST supports incremental loading of methods. Its graphical tools require the X Window System. It features a hands-on tutorial including sample programs. It compiles with G++, and should install easily on most Unix platforms. * Octave *Also see* `http://www.che.wisc.edu/octave' (SrcCD) Octave does arithmetic for real and complex scalars and matrices, solves sets of nonlinear algebraic equations, integrates systems of ordinary differential & differential-algebraic equations, and integrates functions over finite & infinite intervals. Two- & three-dimensional plotting is available using `gnuplot'. Version 2.0 of Octave was released in December '96. It includes support for dynamically linked functions, user-defined data types, many new functions, & a completely revised manual. Octave works on most Unix systems & OS/2. A port to Windows NT/95 is underway. * Oleo (SrcCD) Oleo is a spreadsheet program (better for you than the more expensive spreadsheets).

It handles multiple input files at once, has TeX compatible output, & outputs readable "KWIC" (KeyWords In Context) indexes without using `nroff'. It does not yet handle input files that do not fit in memory all at once. * `rc' (SrcCD) `rc' is a shell that features a C-like syntax (much more so than `csh') and far cleaner quoting rules than the C or Bourne shells. It's intended to be used interactively, but is also great for writing scripts. It inspired the shell `es'. * RCS (SrcCD) RCS, the Revision Control System, is used for version control & management of software projects. Used with GNU `diff', RCS can handle binary files (8-bit data, executables, object files, etc). RCS now conforms to GNU configuration standards & to POSIX 1003.1b-1993. Also see the CVS item above. * `recode' *Also *note Forthcoming GNUs::.* (SrcCD) GNU `recode' converts files between character sets and usages. When exact transliterations are not possible, it may delete the offending characters or fall back on approximations. This program recognizes or outputs nearly 150 different character sets and is able to transliterate files between almost any pair. Most RFC 1345 character sets are supported. * `regex' (SrcCD) The GNU regular expression library supports POSIX.2, except for internationalization features. It is included in many GNU programs which do regular expression matching & is available separately. An alternate regular expression package, `rx', is faster than `regex' in many cases; we were planning to replace `regex' with `rx', but it is not certain this will happen. * Roxen (SrcCD) Roxen is a modularized, object-oriented, non-forking World Wide Web server with high performance and throughput. It was formerly named Spinner, but was renamed for trademark reasons. * `rx' (SrcCD) Tom Lord has written `rx', a new regular expression library which is faster than the older GNU `regex' library.

It reads array data images, which may be in specific formats, and displays them with a pseudocolor colormap. There is full interactive control of the colormap, panning and zooming, graphical annotation, and cursor tracking in pixel and sky coordinates, among other features. * Scheme (SrcCD) Scheme is a simplified, lexically-scoped dialect of Lisp. It was designed at MIT and other universities to teach students the art of programming and to research new parallel programming constructs and compilation techniques. We now distribute MIT Scheme 7.3, which conforms to the "Revised^4 Report On the Algorithmic Language Scheme" (MIT AI Lab Memo 848b), for which TeX source is included. It is written partly in C, but is presently hard to bootstrap. Binaries to bootstrap it exist for: HP9000 series 300, 400, 700, & 800 (running HP-UX 9.0), NeXT (NeXT OS 2 or 3.2), DEC Alpha (OSF/1), IBM RS/6000 (AIX), Sun-3 or Sun-4 (SunOS 4.1), DECstation 3100/5100 (Ultrix 4.0), Sony NeWS-3250 (NEWS OS 5.01), & Intel i386 (MS-DOS, Windows 3.1 or NT). If your system isn't on this list & you don't enjoy the bootstrap challenge, see "JACAL" earlier in this article. * `screen' (SrcCD) `screen' is a terminal multiplexer that runs several separate "screens" (ttys) on a single character-based terminal. Each virtual terminal emulates a DEC VT100 plus several ISO 2022 and ISO 6429 (ECMA 48, ANSI X3.64) functions, including color. Arbitrary keyboard input translation is also supported. `screen' sessions can be detached and resumed later on a different terminal type. Output in detached sessions is saved for later viewing. * `sed' (SrcCD) `sed' is a stream-oriented version of `ed'. It comes with the `rx' library. * Sharutils (SrcCD) `shar' makes so-called shell archives out of many files, preparing them for transmission by electronic mail services; `unshar' helps unpack these shell archives after reception. `uuencode' and `uudecode' are POSIX compliant implementations of a pair of programs which transform files into a format that can be safely transmitted across a 7-bit ASCII link. * Shellutils (SrcCD) The Shellutils are: `basename', `chroot', `date', `dirname', `echo', `env', `expr', `factor', `false', `groups', `hostname', `id', `logname', `nice', `nohup', `pathchk', `printenv', `printf', `pwd', `seq', `sleep', `stty', `su', `tee', `test', `true', `tty', `uname', `uptime', `users', `who', `whoami', & `yes'. * Shogi (SrcCD) Shogi is a Japanese game similar to Chess; a major difference is that captured pieces can be returned into play. GNU Shogi is a variant of GNU Chess; it implements the same features & similar heuristics.

It is primarily supported by Matthias Mutz on behalf of the FSF. * SIPP (SrcCD) SIPP is a library for photorealisticly rendering 3D scenes. Scenes can be illuminated by an arbitrary number of light sources; they are built up of object hierarchies, with arbitrarily many subobjects and subsurfaces. Surfaces can be rendered with either Phong, Gouraud, or flat shading. The library supports programmable shaders and texture mapping. * Smail (SrcCD) Smail is a mail transport system, designed as a compatible drop-in replacement for `sendmail'. It uses a much simpler configuration format than `sendmail' and is designed to be setup with minimal effort. * Smalltalk *Also *note Forthcoming GNUs::.* (SrcCD) GNU Smalltalk is an interpreted object-oriented programming language system written in highly portable C. It has been ported to DOS, many Unix, & other OSes. Features include a binary image save capability, the ability to call user-written C code with parameters, an Emacs editing mode, a version of the X protocol invocable from Smalltalk, optional byte-code compilation and/or execution tracing, & automatically loaded per-user initialization files. It implements all of the classes & protocol in the book "Smalltalk-80: The Language", except for the graphic user interface (GUI) related classes. * SNePS (SrcCD) SNePS is the Semantic Network Processing System. It is an implementation of a fully intensional theory of propositional knowledge representation and reasoning.

Several editions of our *Note Source Code CD-ROMs::. * January 1997 *Note Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM::. * December 1995 Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM, see the *note Free Software Foundation Order Form::. * December 1994 Compiler Tools Binaries CD-ROM, see the *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!
