+@unnumbered GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+@center Version 2, June 1991
+
+@display
+Copyright @copyright{} 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
+675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA
+
+Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+@end display
+
+@unnumberedsec Preamble
+
+ The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
+freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
+License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
+software---to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
+General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
+Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
+using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
+the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
+your programs, too.
+
+ When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
+if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
+in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
+
+ To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
+anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
+These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
+distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
+
+ For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
+you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
+source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
+rights.
+
+ We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
+(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
+distribute and/or modify the software.
+
+ Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
+that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
+software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
+want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
+that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
+authors' reputations.
+
+ Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
+patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
+program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
+program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
+patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
+
+ The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+@iftex
+@unnumberedsec TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+@end iftex
+@ifinfo
+@center TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+@end ifinfo
+
+@enumerate
+@item
+This License applies to any program or other work which contains
+a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
+under the terms of this General Public License. The ``Program'', below,
+refers to any such program or work, and a ``work based on the Program''
+means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
+that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
+either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
+language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
+the term ``modification''.) Each licensee is addressed as ``you''.
+
+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
+covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
+running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
+is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
+Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
+Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
+
+@item
+You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
+source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
+conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
+copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
+notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
+and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
+along with the Program.
+
+You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
+you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
+
+@item
+You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
+of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
+distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
+above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+@enumerate a
+@item
+You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
+stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
+
+@item
+You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
+whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
+part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
+parties under the terms of this License.
+
+@item
+If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
+when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
+interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
+announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
+notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
+a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
+these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
+License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
+does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
+the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
+@end enumerate
+
+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
+identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
+and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
+themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
+sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
+distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
+on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
+this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
+entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
+
+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
+your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
+exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
+collective works based on the Program.
+
+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
+with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
+a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
+the scope of this License.
+
+@item
+You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
+under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
+Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
+
+@enumerate a
+@item
+Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
+source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
+1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+@item
+Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
+years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
+cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
+machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
+distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
+customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+@item
+Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
+to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
+allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
+received the program in object code or executable form with such
+an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
+@end enumerate
+
+The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
+making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
+code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
+associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
+control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
+special exception, the source code distributed need not include
+anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
+form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
+operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
+itself accompanies the executable.
+
+If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
+access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
+access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
+distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
+compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
+
+@item
+You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
+except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
+otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
+void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
+However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
+this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
+parties remain in full compliance.
+
+@item
+You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
+signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
+distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
+prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
+modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
+all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
+the Program or works based on it.
+
+@item
+Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
+original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
+these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
+restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
+You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
+this License.
+
+@item
+If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
+infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
+conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
+distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
+may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
+license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
+all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
+the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
+refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
+
+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
+any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
+apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
+circumstances.
+
+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
+patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
+such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
+integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
+implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
+generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
+through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
+system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
+to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
+impose that choice.
+
+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
+be a consequence of the rest of this License.
+
+@item
+If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
+certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
+original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
+may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
+those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
+countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
+the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
+
+@item
+The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
+of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
+specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and ``any
+later version'', you have the option of following the terms and conditions
+either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
+Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
+this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
+Foundation.
+
+@item
+If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
+programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
+to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
+Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
+make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
+of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
+of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

+@unnumberedsec Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+ If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+ To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
+the ``copyright'' line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+@smallexample
+@var{one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.}

+it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
+the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or

+
+This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
+GNU General Public License for more details.
+
+You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
+along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
+Foundation, Inc., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.
+@end smallexample
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
+when it starts in an interactive mode:
+
+@smallexample
+Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19@var{yy} @var{name of author}
+Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
+This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
+under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
+@end smallexample
+
+The hypothetical commands @samp{show w} and @samp{show c} should show
+the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the
+commands you use may be called something other than @samp{show w} and
+@samp{show c}; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items---whatever
+suits your program.
+
+You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
+school, if any, to sign a ``copyright disclaimer'' for the program, if
+necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
+
+@example
+Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program

+Public License instead of this License.

+Type @samp{make install} in the source directory. This will
+byte-compile all @file{.el} files and copy both the @file{.el} and the
+@file{.elc} into the directory you specified in step 1.
+
+If you don't want to install the @file{.el} files but only the
+@file{.elc} files (the byte-compiled files), you can type `@samp{make
+install_elc}' instead of `@samp{make install}'.
+
+If you only want to create the compiled elisp files, but don't want to
+install them, you can type @samp{make elcfiles} instead. This is what
+happens if you only type @samp{make} without parameters.
+

+Edit the file @file{default.el} in your emacs lisp directory (usually
+@file{/usr/gnu/emacs/lisp} or something similar) and enter the contents

+This release of pcl-cvs is included in the CVS 1.3 distribution.
+However, since pcl-cvs has had less time to mature (the first line of
+code was written less than a year ago) it is likely that there will be a
+new release of pcl-cvs before the next release of CVS.
+
+The latest release of pcl-cvs can be fetched via anonymous ftp from
+@code{ftp.lysator.liu.se}, (IP no. 130.236.254.1) in the directory
+@code{pub/emacs}. If you don't live in Scandinavia you should probably
+check with archie to see if there is a site closer to you that archives
+pcl-cvs.
+
+New releases will be announced to appropriate newsgroups. If you send
+your email address to me I will add you to my list of people to mail
+when I make a new release.

+@chapter Getting started
+@cindex Introduction
+@cindex Example run
+
+This document assumes that you know what CVS is, and that you at least
+knows the fundamental concepts of CVS. If that is not the case you
+should read the man page for CVS.
+
+Pcl-cvs is only useful once you have checked out a module. So before
+you invoke it you must have a copy of a module somewhere in the file
+system.
+
+You invoke pcl-cvs by typing @kbd{M-x pcl-cvs RET}. If your emacs
+responds with @samp{[No match]} your system administrator has not
+installed pcl-cvs properly. Try @kbd{M-x load-library RET pcl-cvs RET}.
+If that also fails - talk to your root. If it succeeds you might put
+this line in your @file{.emacs} file so that you don't have to type the
+@samp{load-library} command every time you wish to use pcl-cvs:
+
+@example
+(autoload 'cvs-update "pcl-cvs" nil t)
+@end example
+
+The function @code{cvs-update} will ask for a directory. The command
+@samp{cvs update} will be run in that directory. (It should contain
+files that have been checked out from a CVS archive.) The output from
+@code{cvs} will be parsed and presented in a table in a buffer called
+@samp{*cvs*}. It might look something like this:
+
+@example
+PCL-CVS release 1.02.
+@comment -release-
+
+In directory /users/ceder/FOO/test:
+ Updated bar
+ Updated file.txt
+ Modified ci namechange
+ Updated newer
+
+In directory /users/ceder/FOO/test/sub:
+ Modified ci ChangeLog
+---------- End -----
+@end example
+
+In this example the three files (@file{bar}, @file{file.txt} and
+@file{newer}) that are marked with @samp{Updated} have been copied from
+the CVS repository to @file{/users/ceder/FOO/test/} since someone else
+have checked in newer versions of them. Two files (@file{namechange}
+and @file{sub/ChangeLog}) have been modified locally, and needs to be
+checked in.
+
+You can move the cursor up and down in the buffer with @kbd{C-n} and
+@kbd{C-p} or @kbd{n} and @kbd{p}. If you press @kbd{c} on one of the
+@samp{Modified} files that file will be checked in to the CVS
+repository. @xref{Committing changes}. You can press @kbd{x} to get rid
+of the "uninteresting" files that have only been @samp{Updated} (and
+don't require any further action from you).@refill
+
+You can also easily get a @samp{diff} between your modified file and the
+base version that you started from, and you can get the output from
+@samp{cvs log} and @samp{cvs status} on the listed files simply by
+pressing a key (@pxref{Getting info about files}).

+This is used by @samp{cvs-diff-cvs} (key @kbd{d}, @pxref{Viewing
+differences}). If you prefer the Unidiff format you could add this line
+to your @file{.emacs} file:@refill
+
+@example
+(setq cvs-cvs-diff-flags '("-u"))
+@end example
+
+@item cvs-diff-flags
+Like @samp{cvs-cvs-diff-flags}, but passed to @samp{diff}. This is used
+by @samp{cvs-diff-backup} (key @kbd{b}, @pxref{Viewing differences}).
+
+@item cvs-log-flags
+List of strings to send to @samp{cvs log}. Used by @samp{cvs-log} (key
+@kbd{l}, @pxref{Getting info about files}).
+
+@item cvs-status-flags
+List of strings to send to @samp{cvs status}. Used by @samp{cvs-status}
+(key @kbd{s}, @pxref{Getting info about files}).
+
+@item cvs-auto-remove-handled
+If this variable is set to any non-@samp{nil} value
+@samp{cvs-remove-handled} will be called every time you check in files,
+after the check-in is ready. @xref{Removing handled entries}.@refill

+
+Pcl-cvs is still under development and needs a number of enhancements to
+be called complete. Here is my current wish-list for future releases of
+pcl-cvs:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+Dired support. I have an experimental @file{dired-cvs.el} that works
+together with CVS 1.2. Unfortunately I wrote it on top of a
+non-standard @file{dired.el}, so it must be rewritten.@refill
+
+@item
+It should be possible to run commands such as @samp{cvs log}, @samp{cvs
+status} and @samp{cvs commit} directly from a buffer containing a file,
+instead of having to @samp{cvs-update}. If the directory contains many
+files the @samp{cvs-update} can take quite some time, especially on a
+slow machine.
+@end itemize
+
+
+If you miss something in this wish-list, let me know! I don't promise
+that I will write it, but I will at least try to coordinate the efforts
+of making a good Emacs front end to CVS. See @xref{Reporting bugs and
+ideas} for information about how to reach me.@refill
