+.SH NAME
+gdb \- Project GNU's DeBugger
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBgdb\fP [ \fBoptions\fP ]   See documentation mentioned below.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fIgdb\fP is a source level symbolic debugger for C programs, created by
+Richard M. Stallman (rms) for the GNU Project, and distributed by the
+Free Software Foundation.  Eventually GNU (Gnu's Not Unix) will be a
+complete replacement for Berkeley Unix, all of which everyone will be
+able to use freely.  See the \fIGNU Emacs\fP man page for pointers to more
+information.
+.PP
+\fIgdb\fP has something of the flavor of \fIdbx\fP,
+but has more features and power.  It can also be used to debug o/s
+kernels, but needs to be configured differently for that task.
+.PP
+Project GNU isn't using Unix man pages.  Its style of complete
+documentation can be found by:
+.PP
+The help and info commands inside \fIgdb\fP.
+.PP
+In the Info system in \fIGNU Emacs\fP.  Type C-h i, and follow the
+directions.  This is equivalent to the reference manual for 
+\fIgdb\fP, and has about 55 pages of text.
+.PP
+\fIgdb\fP could be extended to work with other languages (e.g. Pascal) and
+machines (e.g. encores).  If you like, copy the sources and give it a
+try.  When you have it working send \fIdiff -c\fP's of the changed files to
+bug-gdb@prep.ai.mit.edu (fuller details below), so they can benefit everyone.
+.SH DISTRIBUTION
+\fIgdb\fP is free; anyone may redistribute copies of
+\fIgdb\fP to anyone under the terms stated in the
+\fIgdb\fP General Public License, a copy of which accompanies each copy of
+\fIgdb\fP, is readable with the info command inside \fIgdb\fP,
+and which also appears in the \fIgdb\fP reference manual.
+.PP
+Copies of \fIgdb\fP may sometimes be received packaged with
+distributions of Unix systems, but it is never included in the scope
+of any license covering those systems.  Such inclusion would violate
+the terms on which distribution is permitted.  In fact, the primary
+purpose of the General Public License is to prohibit anyone from
+attaching any other restrictions to redistribution of \fIgdb\fP.
+.PP
+You can order printed copies of the \fIgdb\fP reference manual for $10.00/copy
+postpaid from the Free Software Foundation, which develops GNU software
+(contact them for quantity prices on the manual).  Their address is:
+.nf
+    Free Software Foundation
+    1000 Mass Ave.
+    Cambridge, MA  02138
+.fi
+As with all software and publications from FSF, everyone is permitted to
+make and distribute copies of the \fIgdb\fP reference manual.
+The TeX source to the \fIgdb\fP reference
+manual is also included in the \fIGNU Emacs\fP source distribution.

+.SH BUGS
+There is a mailing list, bug-gdb@prep.ai.mit.edu on the internet
+(ucbvax!prep.ai.mit.edu!bug-gdb on UUCPnet), for reporting \fIgdb\fP
+bugs and fixes.  But before reporting something as a bug, please try
+to be sure that it really is a bug, not a misunderstanding or a
+deliberate feature.  We ask you to read the section ``Reporting Emacs
+Bugs'' near the end of the \fIGNU Emacs\fP reference manual
+(or Info system) for hints
+on how and when to report bugs.  Also, include the version number of
+the \fIgdb\fP you are running in \fIevery\fR bug report that you send in.
+.PP
+Do not expect a personal answer to a bug report.  The purpose of reporting
+bugs is to get them fixed for everyone in the next release, if possible.
+For personal assistance, look in the SERVICE file
+(see the \fIGNU Emacs\fP man page) for
+a list of people who offer it.
+.PP
+Please do not send anything but bug reports to this mailing list.
+Send other stuff to gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu (or the
+corresponding UUCP address).  For more information about GNU mailing
+lists, see the file MAILINGLISTS (see the \fIGNU Emacs\fP man page).  Bugs tend
+actually to be fixed if they can be isolated, so it is in your
+interest to report them in such a way that they can be easily
+reproduced.
+.PP
+No bugs are known at this time.
