Getting the `gawk' Distribution
-------------------------------

   There are three ways to get GNU software:

   * Copy it from someone else who already has it.

   * Order `gawk' directly from the Free Software Foundation.  Software
     distributions are available for Unix, MS-DOS, and VMS, on tape and
     CD-ROM.  Their address is:

          Free Software Foundation
          59 Temple Place, Suite 330
          Boston, MA  02111-1307 USA
          Phone: +1-617-542-5942
          Fax (including Japan): +1-617-542-2652
          Email: <gnu@gnu.org>
          URL: `http://www.gnu.org/'

     Ordering from the FSF directly contributes to the support of the
     foundation and to the production of more free software.

   * Retrieve `gawk' by using anonymous `ftp' to the Internet host
     `gnudist.gnu.org', in the directory `/gnu/gawk'.

   The GNU software archive is mirrored around the world.  The
up-to-date list of mirror sites is available from the main FSF web site
(http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html).  Try to use one of the mirrors;
they will be less busy, and you can usually find one closer to your
site.
