1) The bison distribution on prep.ai.mit.edu available for anonymous
FTP has been updated.  The major change is the addition of
bison.texinfo the users manual for bison.

This software will soon be available for anonymous uucp on osu-cis.

>From this week's InfoWorld (p. 45)

"In addition, Mach has been adopted by the Free Software Foundation, a
consortium of Unix software developers headed by Richard Stallman of MIT."

What's the official FSF word on this?  And why is it appearing in InfoWorld
before we hear about on info-gnu?

  [ MACH (among others) is a possible base from which we will write the GNU
    kernel.  MACH remains the first choice.  This has been posted on
    info-gnu several times.

    rms has been encouraging the MACH team to remove all the licensed AT&T
    code left in the kernel, a project they are working on.  GNU can't
    work with MACH until the MACH project can certify that all the tainted
    code is out.

    Infoworld didn't speak to anyone within FSF.  I have no idea how the
    errors in fact occured.  If they had talked with us, the sentence
    would not have mention that FSF is a consortium.
