GNU Service Directory This is a list of people who have asked to be listed as offering support services for GNU software, including GNU Emacs, for a fee or in some cases at no charge. The information comes from the people who asked to be listed; we do not include any information we know to be false, but we cannot check out any of the information; we are transmitting it to you as it was given to us and do not promise it is correct. Also, this is not an endorsement of the people listed here. We have no opinions and usually no information about the abilities of any specific person. We provide this list to enable you to contact service providers and decide for yourself whether to hire one. Before FSF will list your name in the GNU Service Directory, we ask that you agree informally to the following terms: 1. You will not restrict (except by copyleft) the use or distribution of any software, documentation, or other information you supply anyone in the course of modifying, extending, or supporting GNU software. This includes any information specifically designed to ameliorate the use of GNU software. 2. You will not take advantage of contact made through the Service Directory to advertise an unrelated business (e.g., sales of non-GNU-related proprietary information). You may spontaneously mention your availability for general consulting, but you should not promote a specific unrelated business unless the client asks. For a current copy of this directory, or to have yourself listed, ask: gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu ** Please keep this file alphabetical **  Giuseppe Attardi Dipartimento di Informatica Corso Italia 40 I-56100 Pisa, ITALY +39 (50) 510111 Emacs: installation aid, question answering Revised: 3/24/89  Andrea Baldi ...!sun!delphi!abaldi DELPHI S.p.A.
