 The subdirectory `src' holds the C code,
 `lisp' holds the Lisp code for the editing commands,
 `etc' holds various associated documentation files
    and programs that Emacs runs,
   See etc/DEBUG for info on how to debug.

 `man' holds the source of the Emacs manual.
 `shortnames' holds programs and data files for creating files of #define's
   used to convert long symbol names to distinct short ones

The file INSTALL in this directory says how to bring up
 GNU Emacs, once you have loaded the entire subtree of this
 directory.  It also contains information on many common
 problems that occur in building, installing and running Emacs.

The `etc' subdirectory contains several other files,
 named in capital letters, which you should look at
 when installing GNU Emacs.
