As of this release, the GNU C library has been ported to: sparcs and Sun 3s
running SunOS 4.1, HP 9000/300 and Sony NEWS workstations running 4.3 BSD,
-and MIPS DECStations running Ultrix 4.2. The port to the i386 running
+and MIPS DECStations running Ultrix 4. The port to the i386 running
either System V, SVR4, or BSD, is mostly complete but has not been well
tested. Porting the library is not hard. If you are interested in doing a
port, please get on the mailing list by sending electronic mail to
bug-glibc-request@prep.ai.mit.edu
+The GNU C library now includes Michael Glad's Ultra Fast Crypt, which
+provides the Unix `crypt' function, plus some other entry points. Because
+of the United States export restriction on DES implementations, we are
+distributing this code separately from the rest of the C library. There is
+an extra distribution tar file just for crypt; it is called
+`glibc-VERSION-crypt.tar.Z'. You can just unpack the crypt distribution
+along with the rest of the C library and build; you can also build the
+library without getting crypt. Users outside the USA can get the crypt
+distribution via anonymous FTP from ftp.uni-c.dk [129.142.6.74], or another
+archive site outside the USA. Archive maintainers are encouraged to copy
+this distribution to their archives outside the USA. Please get it from
+ftp.uni-c.dk; transferring this distribution from prep.ai.mit.edu (or any
+other site in the USA) to a site outside the USA is in violation of US
+export laws.
