-This package contains a beta version of Gnus. The lisp directory
-contains the source lisp files, and the texi directory contains a
-draft of the Gnus info pages.
-
-To use Gnus you first have to unpack the files, which you've obviously
-done, because you are reading this.
-
-You should definitely byte-compile the source files. To do that, you
-can simply say "./configure && make" in this directory. If you are
-using XEmacs, you *must* say "make EMACS=xemacs". In that case you
-may also want to pull down the package of nice glyphs from
-<URL:http://www.gnus.org/etc.tar.gz>. It should be installed
-into the "gnus-5.6.53/etc" directory.
-
-Then you have to tell Emacs where Gnus is. You might put something
-like
-
- (setq load-path (cons (expand-file-name "~/gnus-5.6.53/lisp") load-path))
-
-in your .emacs file, or wherever you keep such things.
-
-To enable reading the Gnus manual, you could say something like:
-
- (setq Info-default-directory-list
- (cons "~/gnus-5.6.53/texi" Info-default-directory-list))
-
-Note that Gnus and GNUS can't coexist in a single Emacs. They both use
-the same function and variable names. If you have been running GNUS
-in your Emacs, you should probably exit that Emacs and start a new one
-to fire up Gnus.
-
-Gnus does absolutely not work with anything older than Emacs 19.33 or
-XEmacs 19.14. So you definitely need a new Emacs.
-
-Then you do a `M-x gnus', and everything should... uhm... it should
-work, but it might not. Set `debug-on-error' to t, and mail me the
-backtraces, or, better yet, find out why Gnus does something wrong,
-fix it, and send me the diffs. :-)
-
-There are four main things I want your help and input on:
-
-1) Startup. Does everything go smoothly, and why not?
-
-2) Any errors while you read news normally?
-
-3) Any errors if you do anything abnormal?
-
-4) Features you do not like, or do like, but would like to tweak a
- bit, and features you would like to see.
-
-Send any comments and all your bug fixes/complaints to
-`bugs@gnus.org'.
