+<h3>Introduction to GNU M4</h3>
+
+<p>
+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). GNU m4 also has built-in functions for including files,
+running shell commands, doing arithmetic, etc.
+</p>

+<p>
+GNU M4 is a macro processor in the sense that it copies its input to
the output expanding macros as it goes. Macros are either builtin or
user-defined and can take any number of arguments. Besides just doing
macro expansion m4 has builtin functions for including named files,
running UNIX commands, doing integer arithmetic, manipulating text in
-various ways, recursion etc... m4 can be used either as a front-end to a
-compiler or as a macro processor in its own right.</P>
-
-<P>The latest stable version is 1.4.10, available from <A
-HREF="ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4";>ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4</A> or one of the
-<A HREF="http://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp.html";>mirrors</A>. The stable
-branch can also be checked out from CVS, using:
-<pre>cvs -z3 -d:pserver:address@hidden:/sources/m4 co -r
-branch-1_4 m4</pre></P>
-
-<P>GNU M4 is being actively developed, and version 2.0 will have many
-new features, such as better input control, multiple precision
-arithmetic and loadable modules. Information about the future of GNU M4
-is at <A HREF="http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/m4/";>
-http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/m4/</A>. You can track development
+various ways, recursion etc... m4 can be used either as a front-end to
+a compiler or as a macro processor in its own right.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+One of the biggest users of GNU M4 is the
+<a href="/software/autoconf/autoconf.html">GNU Autoconf</a> project.
+</p>
+
+<h3>Downloading M4</h3>
+
+<p>
+The latest stable version is 1.4.10, and can be found on
+<a href="http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/";>http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/</a>
+[via http] and
+<a href="ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/";>ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/</a>
+[via FTP].
+It can also be found on one of <a href="/order/ftp.html">our FTP mirrors</a>.
+The stable development branch can also be checked out from CVS, using:
+
+<pre><samp>cvs -z3 -d:pserver:address@hidden:/sources/m4 co -r
+branch-1_4 m4</samp></pre>
+</p>
+
+<h3>Documentation</h3>
+
+<p>
+GNU M4 documentation can be found in several formats at
+<a href="/software/m4/manual/index.html">
+http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/manual/</a>.
+You may also find more information about GNU M4 by looking at your
+local documentation. For example, you might try looking in
+/usr/share/doc/m4/, or use <em>info m4</em> at the shell prompt.
+</p>
+
+<h3>Mailing Lists</h3>
+
+<p>
+GNU M4 has several mailing lists:
+<a href="mailto:address@hidden";><address@hidden></a>,
+<a href="mailto:address@hidden";><address@hidden></a>,
+<a href="mailto:address@hidden";><address@hidden></a>, and
+<a href="mailto:address@hidden";><address@hidden></a>.
+Archives of these lists are available; see the details of each list
+for a link to the archives.
+
+<p>
+You can subscribe to any GNU mailing list via the web as described
+below. Or you can send an empty mail with a Subject: header line of
+just "subscribe" to the relevant -request list. For example, to
+subscribe yourself to the bug-m4 list, you would
+send mail to <a
+href="mailto:address@hidden";><em>address@hidden</em></a>
+with no body and a Subject: header line of just "subscribe".
+</p>
+
+<p>
+It has been necessary to moderate the GNU M4 mailing lists to prevent the
+flood of spam. Postings to the lists are held for release by
+the list moderator. Sometimes the moderators are unavailable for
+brief periods of time. Please be patient when posting. If you
+don't see the message in the list archive then it did not get posted.
