Also, said webpage contains just two lines of text on the subject of "obtaining GNU Emacs". That's pretty annoying - why not just put the relevant text directly in the file? With regards to the top-level FTP file: I think we can lose the "UUCP" reference now... In the Emacs section, we should explain that the Lisp Ref Manual is distributed with Emacs from 22 onwards. Does information about how to get Scheme and Tex really need to be in the Emacs distribution?
