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

Whether this is still true for this release is unknown. Porting the
library is not hard. If you are interested in doing a port, please
get on the mailing list by sending electronic mail to
1995-02-18 02:27:10 +01:00
bug-glibc-request@prep.ai.mit.edu.
The GNU C library now includes Michael Glad's Ultra Fast Crypt, which
provides the Unix `crypt' function, plus some other entry points.
Because of the United States export restriction on DES implementations,
we are distributing this code separately from the rest of the C
library. There is an extra distribution tar file just for crypt; it is
called `glibc-VERSION-crypt.tar.gz'. You can just unpack the crypt
distribution along with the rest of the C library and build; you can
also build the library without getting crypt. Users outside the USA
can get the crypt distribution via anonymous FTP from ftp.uni-c.dk
[129.142.6.74], or another archive site outside the USA. Archive
maintainers are encouraged to copy this distribution to their archives
outside the USA. Please get it from ftp.uni-c.dk; transferring this
distribution from prep.ai.mit.edu (or any other site in the USA) to a
site outside the USA is in violation of US export laws.
See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, install, and port
the GNU C library.
The GNU C Library is completely documented by the Texinfo manual found
in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and
contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not have
the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. Please
send comments on the manual to bug-glibc-manual@prep.ai.mit.edu, and
not to the library bug-reporting address.
The file NOTES contains a description of the feature-test macros used
in the GNU C library, explaining how you can tell the library what
facilities you want it to make available.
Send bug reports to bug-glibc@prep.ai.mit.edu.
The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
conditions.
