39 | Whether this is still true for this release is unknown. Porting the |
| 40 | library is not hard. If you are interested in doing a port, please | |
| 41 | get on the mailing list by sending electronic mail to | |

| 44 | The GNU C library now includes Michael Glad's Ultra Fast Crypt, which | |
| 45 | provides the Unix `crypt' function, plus some other entry points. | |
| 46 | Because of the United States export restriction on DES implementations, | |
| 47 | we are distributing this code separately from the rest of the C | |
| 48 | library. There is an extra distribution tar file just for crypt; it is | |
| fd26970f | 49 | called `glibc-1.101-crypt.tar.gz'. You can just unpack the crypt |
| 28f540f4 RM |
50 | distribution along with the rest of the C library and build; you can |
| 51 | also build the library without getting crypt. Users outside the USA | |
| 52 | can get the crypt distribution via anonymous FTP from ftp.uni-c.dk | |
| 53 | [129.142.6.74], or another archive site outside the USA. Archive | |
| 54 | maintainers are encouraged to copy this distribution to their archives | |
| 55 | outside the USA. Please get it from ftp.uni-c.dk; transferring this | |
| 56 | distribution from prep.ai.mit.edu (or any other site in the USA) to a | |
| 57 | site outside the USA is in violation of US export laws. | |

| 59 | See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, install, and port | |
| 60 | the GNU C library. | |
| 61 | ||
| 62 | The GNU C Library is completely documented by the Texinfo manual found | |
| 63 | in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and | |
| 64 | contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not have | |
| 65 | the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. Please | |
| 66 | send comments on the manual to bug-glibc-manual@prep.ai.mit.edu, and | |
| 67 | not to the library bug-reporting address. | |
| 68 | ||
| 69 | The file NOTES contains a description of the feature-test macros used | |
| 70 | in the GNU C library, explaining how you can tell the library what | |
| 71 | facilities you want it to make available. | |
| 72 | ||
| 73 | Send bug reports to bug-glibc@prep.ai.mit.edu. | |
| 74 | ||
| 75 | The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying | |
| 76 | conditions. |
