From: Richard M. Stallman <rms@mit-prep> 1. Don't use shar! It destroys all the .elc files. Since sh bugs also contribute to the problem, it cannot be solved by fixing shar (I tried). Please make a tar file available, to save people the work of regenerating the .elc files. 2. If announce that you have a copy of GNU Emacs for distribution, say what version number it is. There is no manual yet, but I hope to have adapted the PDP-10 Emacs manual within a month or two. Please read the file DISTRIB for answers to many other such questions. GNU Emacs version 15 should be in its final form in a couple of days. People might wish to wait for that rather than transfer existing versions.
