In general, -Cygnus Releases add to FSF software as follows: - -@itemize @bullet -@item -Commercial support is available. Cygnus adds value to FSF releases in -large measure by offering outstanding support services. -@item -Bug fixes. Cygnus performs necessary repairs to bugs discovered -during testing, and also tracks and includes bug fixes developed for -other Cygnus customers or distributed over the Internet. -@item -Documentation. Cygnus has revised and added to available FSF -documentation to give you better descriptions of all the software tools. -@item -Coordination.

Cygnus supplies products and services that benefit -advanced development groups by allowing them to @emph{use} -state-of-the-art tools instead of @emph{maintaining} them. With Cygnus -Support, sites that once were forced to do their own tool support can -recover that valuable staff time. Former users of proprietary software -now may choose supported free software, combining the advantages of both -worlds. - -Free software is faster, more powerful, and more portable than its -proprietary counterparts. It evolves faster because users who want to -make improvements are free to do so. Cygnus tracks these -improvements and integrates them into tested, stable versions ready -for commercial use, then backs this software with comprehensive -support. - -With Cygnus Support as your partner, you will have the software and -the support you need to meet your business objectives better. Cygnus -is intimately familiar with this software from extensive experience -using, debugging, and implementing it. You get direct access to the -most qualified support people: the authors of that software. - -We provide ``vintage'' releases---stable versions which have been -though extensive use and testing---or up-to-the minute sources, for -those who need the very latest version. Vintage releases undergo at -least nine months of intensive use before certification as vintage. - -Because all our improvements are also free software, you can -distribute them widely within your organization, or to your customers, -without extra cost. - -@display -Cygnus Support -814 University Avenue -Palo Alto, CA 94301, USA - -+1 415 322 3811 - -email: @code{info@@cygnus.com} -fax: +1 415 322 3270 -@end display - -@bye -- 2.7.4
