-
-The GNU M4 Team is pleased to announce alpha release @VERSION@ of GNU
-M4.
-
-GNU `m4' is an implementation of the traditional Unix macro processor.
-It is mostly SVR4 compatible, although it has some extensions (for
-example, handling more than 9 positional parameters to macros).  `m4'
-also has built-in functions for including files, running shell commands,
-doing arithmetic, etc.  Autoconf needs GNU `m4' for generating
-`configure' scripts, but not for running them.
-
-Here are the compressed sources:
-
-  ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/m4/address@hidden@.tar.gz    address@hidden@]

-You should download the signature named after any tarball you download,
-and then verify its integrity with, for example:
