+README for GNU DIFF
+
 This directory contains the GNU diff, diff3, sdiff, and cmp utilities.
 Their features are a superset of the Unix features and they are
-significantly faster.  cmp has been moved here from the GNU textutils.
+significantly faster.
+
+Please see the file COPYING for copying conditions.
+
+Please see the file doc/version.texi for version information.
+
+Please see the file doc/diff.texi (or doc/diff.info) for documentation
+that can be printed with TeX, or read with the `info' program or with
+Emacs's `M-x info'.  Brief man pages are in man/*, but they are no
+substitute for the documentation.
+
+Please see the file ABOUT-NLS for notes about translations.
+
+Please see the file INSTALL for generic compilation and installation
+instructions.  Briefly, you can run "./configure; make install".  The
+command "./configure --help" lists the supported --enable and --with
+options.
+
+If you have a problem with internationalization, you might be able to
+work around it as described in ABOUT-NLS by invoking `./configure
+--disable-nls'.  Many of the problems arise from dynamic linking
+issues on non-GNU platforms (e.g. with the iconv library).  Such
+problems tend to be shared by other GNU applications on these
+platforms, and can usually be fixed by carefully tweaking your non-GNU
+installation.  If you have an older version of libiconv, please
+upgrade to the latest one; see <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libiconv/>.  If
+the problem seems isolated to diffutils, though, please report a bug.
+
+This program requires a Standard C compiler (C89 or later).  If you
+have a nonstandard compiler, please install GCC first.
+
+If you make changes to the source code, you may need appropriate
+versions of GNU build tools to regenerate the intermediate files.  The
+following versions were used to generate the intermediate files in
+this distribution:
+
+* Autoconf 2.59   <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.59.tar.gz>
+* Automake 1.8.3  <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.8.3.tar.gz>
+* gettext 0.14.1  <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.14.1.tar.gz>
+* help2man 1.33   <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/help2man/help2man-1.33.1.tar.gz>
+* Texinfo 4.7     <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-4.7.tar.gz>
+
+Please report bugs to <bug-gnu-utils@gnu.org>.
