+install it.
+
+@node Contents, Platforms, Top, Top
+@unnumberedsec Release Contents
+
+This Developer's Kit is a Cygnus Support Release: the programs in the
+release have been tested both individually and as a coordinated suite of
+tools.
+
+The programs in this Developer's Kit are shipped as binaries,
+preconfigured to run on Motorola 88K-based workstations ``out of the
+box.''
+
+We also include the full source code.
+
+The individual programs are:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+@sc{gnu emacs} (v18.57), the extensible text editor
+@item
+@sc{gcc} (v1.95.02), the @sc{gnu} C compiler
+@item
+@sc{g++} (v1.95.02), the @sc{gnu} C++ compiler
+@item
+@sc{gdb} (v4.2.2), the @sc{gnu} debugger

+@item 88open BCS
+Release m88k--11--91 of the Cygnus Developer's Kit is supported on any
+system running an 88open compliant operating system.
+
+@item Other Platforms
+The Developer's Kit is likely to work when compiled for other machines,
+but no other platforms are currently

+@end table
+@node Disk, Installing, Platforms, Top
+@unnumberedsec Disk Space
+
+The total space required to extract and install binaries for
+all programs in Release m88k--11--91 is 32 megabytes.
+
+The software is configured to go in @file{/usr/cygnus}; if you have
+space available, but not in the same file system as @file{/usr}, you can
+create @file{/usr/cygnus} as a symbolic link to the file system where
+you do have the space available.

+@unnumberedsubsec Reading the Tape
+
+For certification purposes, the M88K Developer's Kit is packaged as two
+QIC 150 tapes; one containing only binaries for all programs, and one
+containing source.
+
+Load the Cygnus Support binary tape into your system's tape drive.
+You can extract the complete tape contents as follows:
+@lisp
+@cartouche
+eg$ @b{mkdir /usr/cygnus} @i{only if /usr/cygnus did not exist}
+eg$ @b{cd /usr/cygnus}
+eg$ @b{tar xfv /dev/TAPE}
+@end cartouche
+@end lisp
+
+This will create subdirectories @file{bin}, @file{lib}, and @file{man},
+with the conventional meanings.
+
+If you also want the source, for reference or modification, load the
+Cygnus Support source tape into your tape drive, and repeat the
+@code{tar} command:
+@lisp
+@cartouche
+eg$ @b{tar xfv /dev/TAPE}
+@end cartouche
+@end lisp
+
+@page
+@node Running, , Tape-Reading, Installing
+@unnumberedsubsec Running the Programs
+@c [FIXME-future:] orig includes fixincluded files... "bogus
+@c but easiest". In some future release, CUST MUST RUN fixincludes ONCE PER OS!
+@c [FIXME] how to select cross vs native compiler?
+Any users who wish to run the Cygnus development tools will need to make
+sure the @code{PATH} environment variable will find them. For example,
+the following should go in a Bourne shell initialization file:
+@lisp
+@cartouche
+@b{PATH=/usr/cygnus/bin:$PATH}
+@end cartouche
+@end lisp
+
+To use the Cygnus man pages on line, you'll need to install them in your
+system's @file{/usr/catman/u_man/man1} directory. For example, you can
+copy them like this:
+@lisp
+@cartouche
+eg$ @b{cp /usr/cygnus/man/man1/* /usr/catman/u@t{_}man/man1}
+@end cartouche
+@end lisp
+
+@node Removing, Bugs, Installing, Top
+@unnumberedsec Removing the Developer's Kit
+To remove this release of the Developer's Kit from your system
+(if, eventually, you no longer want it):
+@enumerate
+@item
+remove the man pages for this release from your system's
+@file{/usr/catman/u_man/man1} directory, if you had chosen to install
+them there. For example, in a Bourne-compatible shell,
+@lisp
+@cartouche
+eg$ @b{cd /usr/cygnus/man/man1}
+eg$ @b{for m in *; do}
+eg> @b{rm /usr/catman/u@t{_}man/man1/$m}
+eg> @b{done}
+@end cartouche
+@end lisp
+@item
+delete the directory @file{/usr/cygnus} and all its contents.
+@end enumerate

+@node Bugs, Cygnus-FSF, Removing, Top
+@unnumberedsec Where to report bugs
+If you find a bug in this release, please report it to Cygnus Support.
+The easiest way to report a bug is via Internet electronic mail to
+@samp{bugs@@cygnus.com}; for other contact methods,
+@pxref{Cygnus-Support,,Cygnus Support}. @strong{Do not report these bugs
+directly to the GNU project} at the Free Software Foundation! Cygnus is
+distributing an early release of advanced versions of the GNU compiler
+and development tools, and we therefore have full responsibility for
+supporting this release. @strong{The FSF will not respond to bugreports
+on this software} until release 2.0 of the compilers. You, the FSF, and
+Cygnus will all be best served if you send bugreports directly to Cygnus
+Support.

+@node Cygnus-FSF, Cygnus-Support, Bugs, Top
+@unnumberedsec Cygnus and FSF Releases
+
+The tools in this Developer's Kit are originally from the Free Software
+Foundation, and versions of all these tools can be obtained from the FSF
+as well as from Cygnus. Release m88k--11--91 contains the most current
+versions; similar versions of the compilers, in particular, will
+eventually be available from the FSF as version 2.00. In general,
+Cygnus Releases add to FSF software as follows:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+Commercial support is available. Cygnus adds value to FSF releases in
+large measure by offering outstanding support services.
+@item
+Bug fixes. Cygnus performs necessary repairs to bugs discovered
+during testing, and also tracks and includes bug fixes developed for
+other Cygnus customers or distributed over the Internet.
+@item
+Documentation. Cygnus has revised and added to available FSF
+documentation to give you better descriptions of all the software tools.
+@item
+Coordination. The tools in your Developer's Kit are certified to work
+together; you need not worry about one tool being ahead of another.

+@unnumberedsec Cygnus Support
+
+Cygnus Support was founded in 1989 to provide commercial support for
+free software. Cygnus supplies products and services that benefit
+advanced development groups by allowing them to @emph{use}
+state-of-the-art tools instead of @emph{maintaining} them. With Cygnus
+Support, sites that once were forced to do their own tool support can
+recover that valuable staff time. Former users of proprietary software
+now may choose supported free software, combining the advantages of both
+worlds.
+
+Free software is faster, more powerful, and more portable than its
+proprietary counterparts. It evolves faster because users who want to
+make improvements are free to do so. Cygnus tracks these
+improvements and integrates them into tested, stable versions ready
+for commercial use, then backs this software with comprehensive
+support.
+
+With Cygnus Support as your partner, you will have the software and
+the support you need to meet your business objectives better. Cygnus
+is intimately familiar with this software from extensive experience
+using, debugging, and implementing it. You get direct access to the
+most qualified support people: the authors of that software.
+
+We provide ``vintage'' releases---stable versions which have been
+though extensive use and testing---or up-to-the minute sources, for
+those who need the very latest version. Vintage releases undergo at
+least nine months of intensive use before certification as vintage.
+
+Because all our improvements are also free software, you can
+distribute them widely within your organization, or to your customers,
+without extra cost.
