+ There are a number of 386BSD special interest groups
+forming, focussing on topics of interest to the research and
+development community. Among these areas of interest are:
+
+* Shared Libraries
+
+* Filesystems
+
+* Symmetric Multiprocessing
+
+* Windowing Systems
+
+* Virtual Memory System
+

+
+ 386BSD is intended by the developer to be used for edu-
+cational and research purposes. As such, the developer of
+this release is making it available to the user at no
+charge, in order to encourage and facilitate its use in
+research and education. However, 386BSD has been a costly
+product to develop and maintain, and each release consumes
+enormous resources.
+
+ Release 0.0, the first complete freely available
+release of BSD for the 386/486 PC, was completed entirely as
+a personal project. 386BSD Release 0.1, the second release
+of a complete 386BSD system, was motivated primarily due to
+the enthusiasm and contributions of the Release 0.0 user
+base.
+
+ In sum, 386BSD has taken over four years of personal
+financing on the part of the developers to get it out to the
+user. Unfortunately, we are not funded by any granting
+agency, university, corporation, or non-profit company.
+
+ If you like 386BSD, you may elect to make a contribu-
+tion to defray the cost of development and to demonstrate
+support of this project. If just 10% of the number of peo-
+ple using 386BSD out there right now sent in $100 each, this
+project would be adequately funded for the next two years!
+
+ Should you with to make a contribution, return this
+form with your check or money order (suggested contribution:
+$50.00US binary and $100.00US source) made out to:
