-It was once true that, when installing Bison on Sequent (or Pyramid?)
-systems, you had to be in the Berkeley universe.  This may no longer
-be true; we have no way to tell.

+frequently asked questions.  The documentation is also available in
+PDF and HTML, provided you have a recent version of Texinfo installed:
+run "make pdf" or "make html".
 
-On VMS, you will probably have to create Makefile from Makefile.in by

+
+Bison can work with pre-1.4.6 distributions of GNU m4 if they are
+sufficiently patched, but if you encounter a bug with an older
+distribution and report a bug we will probably suggest that you
+upgrade to 1.4.6 as the first step in trying to fix it.
+
+Please send bug reports to <bug-bison@gnu.org>.  Please include the
+version number from `bison --version', and a complete, self-contained
+test case in each bug report.
+
+If you have questions about using Bison and the documentation does
+not answer them, please send mail to <help-bison@gnu.org>.
