-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

-Release m88k--11--91 of the Cygnus Developer's Kit is supported on any

-@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

-@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.

-@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.
