1 | This directory contains the version VERSION test release of the GNU C Library. |
| 2 | Many bugs have been fixed since the last release. | |
| 3 | Some bugs surely remain. | |

| 32 | Porting the library is not hard. If you are interested in doing a port, | |
| 33 | please get on the mailing list by sending electronic mail to | |
| 34 | bug-glibc-request@prep.ai.mit.edu. | |

| 36 | The GNU C library now includes Michael Glad's Ultra Fast Crypt, which | |
| 37 | provides the Unix `crypt' function, plus some other entry points. | |
| 38 | Because of the United States export restriction on DES implementations, | |
| 39 | we are distributing this code separately from the rest of the C | |
| 40 | library. There is an extra distribution tar file just for crypt; it is | |
| 41 | called `glibc-VERSION-crypt.tar.gz'. You can just unpack the crypt | |
| 42 | distribution along with the rest of the C library and build; you can | |
| 43 | also build the library without getting crypt. Users outside the USA | |
| 44 | can get the crypt distribution via anonymous FTP from ftp.uni-c.dk | |
| 45 | [129.142.6.74], or another archive site outside the USA. Archive | |
| 46 | maintainers are encouraged to copy this distribution to their archives | |
| 47 | outside the USA. Please get it from ftp.uni-c.dk; transferring this | |
| 48 | distribution from prep.ai.mit.edu (or any other site in the USA) to a | |
| 49 | site outside the USA is in violation of US export laws. | |

| 51 | See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, install, and port | |
| 52 | the GNU C library. | |
| 53 | ||
| 54 | The GNU C Library is completely documented by the Texinfo manual found | |
| 55 | in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and | |
| 56 | contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not have | |
| 57 | the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. Please | |
| 58 | send comments on the manual to bug-glibc-manual@prep.ai.mit.edu, and | |
| 59 | not to the library bug-reporting address. | |
| 60 | ||
| 61 | The file NOTES contains a description of the feature-test macros used | |
| 62 | in the GNU C library, explaining how you can tell the library what | |
| 63 | facilities you want it to make available. | |
| 64 | ||
| 65 | Send bug reports to bug-glibc@prep.ai.mit.edu. | |
| 66 | ||
| 67 | The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying | |
| 68 | conditions. |
