     site, `http://www.gnu.ai.mit.edu', for announcements of these
     publications.

   * Fonts freed

     A free commercial-quality set of the basic 35 Postscript Type 1 fonts is
     now finally available.  The copyright holder of these fonts, URW++
     Design and Development Incorporated, has decided to release them under
     the GPL.  Each font includes `.pfb' (outlines), `.afm' (metrics), and
     `.pfm' (Windows printer metrics) files.  The fonts are compatible with
     Adobe Type Manager and with general Type 1 manipulation tools, as well
     as with Ghostscript and other Postscript language interpreters.

     The fonts are available in `ghostscript-fonts-4.0.tar.gz' on the usual
     FTP sites.

   * DDD now works with LessTif   (Also *note GNU Software::.) Release 2.1.1
     of DDD, the Data Display Debugger, now works with LessTif, a free Motif
     clone.

   * 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!::.

   * Tapes and MS-DOS Diskettes No Longer Available from the FSF

     We no longer offer tapes or MS-DOS diskettes due to very low demand.

   * 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::.

   * The FSF Takes Discover

     The Free Software Foundation now accepts the Discover card for orders or
     donations.  We also accept the following: Carte Blanche, Diner's Club,
     JCB, MasterCard, Visa, and American Express.  Note that we are charged
     about 5% of an order's total amount in credit card processing fees;
     please consider paying by check instead or adding on a 5% donation to
     make up the difference.  We do *not* recommend that you send credit card
     numbers to us via email, since we have no way of insuring that the
     information will remain confidential.

   * MULE Merge Complete

     MULE is the Multi-Lingual Emacs developed by Ken'ichi Handa at the
     Electrotechnical Lab in Tsukuba, Japan.  This code has been merged into
     Emacs and is included in Emacs 20.

   * GPC, the GNU Pascal Compiler

     The GNU Pascal Compiler (GPC) is part of the GNU compiler family, GNU CC
     or GCC.  It combines a Pascal front end with the proven GNU compiler
     backend for code generation and optimization.  Unlike utilities such as
     p2c, this is a true compiler, not just a converter.

     Version 2.0 of GPC corresponds to GCC version 2.7.2.1.

     The purpose of the GNU Pascal project is to produce a compiler which:
        * combines the clarity of Pascal with powerful tools suitable for
          real-life programming,

        * supports both the Pascal standard and the Extended Pascal standard
          as defined by ISO, ANSI and IEEE.  (ISO 7185:1990, ISO/IEC
          10206:1991, ANSI/IEEE 770X3.160-1989)

        * supports other Pascal standards (UCSD Pascal, Borland Pascal,
          Pascal-SC) in so far as this serves the goal of clarity and
          usability,

        * can generate code for and run on any computer for which the GNU C
          Compiler can generate code and run on.

     The current release (2.0) implements Standard Pascal (ISO 7185, level 0)
     and a large subset of Extended Pascal (ISO 10206) and Borland Pascal.

     The upcoming release 2.1 features better conformance to the various
     Pascal standards, and of course bug fixes.

     A growing group of GPC enthusiasts contributes to the project with code,
     bug reports or fixes.

     `http://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/~gnu-pascal/', also known as
     `http://home.pages.de/~gnu-pascal/', is the GNU Pascal home page;
     sources may be downloaded from `ftp://kampi.hut.fi/jtv/gnu-pascal/'
     (official) or `ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/pub/gnu-pascal/'
     (development versions).

   * GUILE

     GUILE 1.2 is released.  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::.)
     Nightly snapshots of the development sources are also available, in
     `ftp://ftp.red-bean.com/pub/guile/guile-core-snap.tar.gz'.

     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.

   * A New FSF T-shirt!

     We have a new T-shirt design.  *Note FSF T-shirt::, for the description.

   * New free game

     In August 1995, the action game Abuse by Jonathan Clark was released for
     the first time.  It wasn't free software then--but now, less than two
     years later, the company Crack dot Com has rereleased it as free
     software.  Abuse was initially developed on Linux-based GNU systems, and
     we've included it on our our source CD set.

     Beyond providing the free software community with a game that many
     people enjoy, and code that could be useful for developing other free
     games, this demonstrates an important fact about the economic
     circumstances of computer game development: most non-free games bring
     their profit in a very short period of time.  Therefore, a game company
     can turn a game into free software fairly soon, with little hardship.

     Let's hope that other game developers follow this example.



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

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.  *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' (13th Edition for Version 20) describes editing with
GNU Emacs.  It explains advanced features, including international character
sets; 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 0.51 for Version 3.76 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" &
