GNU Emacs Manual: The paper version orderable from the FSF says 6th
edition, Mar. 1987.  The one in the electronic distribution says 5th
ed. Oct. 1986, but has 1988 or 89 clarified GNU licenses in it.  Which
is more up to date?

["GNU Emacs 18.55.12 of Sat Feb  3 1990 on ihlpa (usg-unix-v)"
and this is I'm pretty sure the date of the file involved:
-rw-r--r--   1 danj1    danj1     652958 Aug 16  1988 man/emacs.tex ]

[Mail about this to Len Tower must have got munged.]
