This directory contains the version 1.06.4 test release of the GNU C Library.
Many bugs have been fixed since the last release.
Some bugs surely remain.

As of this release, the GNU C library has been ported to the following
configurations:

		sparc-sun-sunos4
		sparc-sun-solaris2
		m68k-hp-bsd4.3
		m68k-sun-sunos4
		m68k-sony-bsd4.3
		mips-dec-ultrix4
		i386-bsd4.3
		i386-sysv
		i386-sysv4
		i386-sco3.2
		i386-sco3.2v4
		i386-sequent-dynix

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
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-1.06.4-crypt.tar.z'.  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.  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.
