+This is the GNU groff document formatting system.  The version number
+is given in the file VERSION.
+
+Included in this release are implementations of troff, pic, eqn, tbl,
+refer, the -man macros and the -ms macros, and drivers for PostScript,
+TeX dvi format, and typewriter-like devices.  Also included is a
+modified version of the Berkeley -me macros, an enhanced version of
+the X11 xditview previewer, and an implementation of the -mm macros
+contributed by Joergen Haegg (jh@efd.lth.se).
+
+See the file INSTALL for installation instructions.  You will require
+a C++ compiler.
+
+The file NEWS describes recent user-visible changes to groff.
+
+Groff is free software. See the file COPYING for copying permission.
+
+The file PROBLEMS describes various problems that have been
+encountered in compiling, installing, and running groff.
+
+For the moment, the documentation assumes that you are already
+familiar with the Unix versions of troff, -man, -ms and the
+preprocessors.
+
+The most recent released version of groff is always available by
+anonymous ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu in the directory pub/gnu.
+
+Please report bugs using the form in the file BUG-REPORT; the idea of
+this is to make sure that I have all the information I need to fix the
+bug.  At the very least, read the BUG-REPORT form and make sure that
+you supply all the information that it asks for.  Even if you are not
+sure that something is a bug, report it using BUG-REPORT: this will
+enable me to determine whether it really is a bug or not.  As well as
+bug reports, I welcome suggestions for improvements to groff (no
+matter how small).
