We are still at 1000 Mass Ave. Our phone service was interrupted because of LMI changing hands (LMI has been letting us use office space) but it should be reconnected as soon as we get everything straightened out with the phone company. Our address is: Free Software Foundation 1000 Mass Ave. Cambridge, MA 02138 We have a newsletter with price and ordering information that we send on request (snail mail only to address above; small donation (~$1.00) for postage/xeroxing appreciated). The current manual is the Sixth edition, March 1987 or thereabouts. It has the same text as the Fifth (December 86) edition with some minor clarifications in the General Public License and front matter. Both of these are version 18 manuals, with about 10% more material than the v17 (4th ed.) manual, plus some changes throughout for v18. The additions are mostly descriptions of new special modes (Fortran, Scribe, etc.). See the v18 etc/NEWS file and the "Emacs version 17 Antinews" section of the 5th/6th edition manual for the other changes. Most users probably will not notice most of the differences.
