+## <a id="intro">1.</a> Introduction
+Tcl provides a powerful platform for creating integration applications that
+tie together diverse applications, protocols, devices, and frameworks.
+When paired with the Tk toolkit, Tcl provides the fastest and most powerful
+way to create GUI applications that run on PCs, Unix, and Mac OS X.
+Tcl can also be used for a variety of web-related tasks and for creating
+powerful command languages for applications.
+
+Tcl is maintained, enhanced, and distributed freely by the Tcl community.
+Source code development and tracking of bug reports and feature requests
+takes place at [core.tcl-lang.org](https://core.tcl-lang.org/).
+Tcl/Tk release and mailing list services are [hosted by
+SourceForge](https://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/)
+with the Tcl Developer Xchange hosted at
+[www.tcl-lang.org](https://www.tcl-lang.org).
+
+Tcl is a freely available open source package.  You can do virtually
+anything you like with it, such as modifying it, redistributing it,
+and selling it either in whole or in part.  See the file
+`license.terms` for complete information.
+
+## <a id="doc">2.</a> Documentation
+Extensive documentation is available at our website.
+The home page for this release, including new features, is
+[here](https://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/8.6.html).
+Detailed release notes can be found at the
+[file distributions page](https://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/files/Tcl/)
+by clicking on the relevant version.
+
+Information about Tcl itself can be found at the [Developer
+Xchange](https://www.tcl-lang.org/about/).
+There have been many Tcl books on the market.  Many are mentioned in
+[the Wiki](https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/_/ref?N=25206).
+
+The complete set of reference manual entries for Tcl 8.6 is [online,
+here](https://www.tcl-lang.org/man/tcl8.6/).
+
+### <a id="doc.unix">2a.</a> Unix Documentation
+The `doc` subdirectory in this release contains a complete set of
+reference manual entries for Tcl.  Files with extension "`.1`" are for
+programs (for example, `tclsh.1`); files with extension "`.3`" are for C
+library procedures; and files with extension "`.n`" describe Tcl
+commands.  The file "`doc/Tcl.n`" gives a quick summary of the Tcl
+language syntax.  To print any of the man pages on Unix, cd to the
+"doc" directory and invoke your favorite variant of troff using the
+normal -man macros, for example
+
+		groff -man -Tpdf Tcl.n >output.pdf
+
+to print Tcl.n to PDF.  If Tcl has been installed correctly and your "man" program
+supports it, you should be able to access the Tcl manual entries using the
+normal "man" mechanisms, such as
+
+		man Tcl
+
+### <a id="doc.win">2b.</a> Windows Documentation
+The "doc" subdirectory in this release contains a complete set of Windows
+help files for Tcl.  Once you install this Tcl release, a shortcut to the
+Windows help Tcl documentation will appear in the "Start" menu:
+
+		Start | Programs | Tcl | Tcl Help
+
+## <a id="build">3.</a> Compiling and installing Tcl
+There are brief notes in the `unix/README`, `win/README`, and `macosx/README`
+about compiling on these different platforms.  There is additional information
+about building Tcl from sources
+[online](https://www.tcl-lang.org/doc/howto/compile.html).
+
+## <a id="devtools">4.</a> Development tools
+ActiveState produces a high quality set of commercial quality development
+tools that is available to accelerate your Tcl application development.
+Tcl Dev Kit builds on the earlier TclPro toolset and provides a debugger,
+static code checker, single-file wrapping utility, bytecode compiler and
+more.  More information can be found at
+
+	http://www.ActiveState.com/Tcl
+
+## <a id="complangtcl">5.</a> Tcl newsgroup
+There is a USENET news group, "`comp.lang.tcl`", intended for the exchange of
+information about Tcl, Tk, and related applications.  The newsgroup is a
+great place to ask general information questions.  For bug reports, please
+see the "Support and bug fixes" section below.
+
+## <a id="wiki">6.</a> Tcl'ers Wiki
+There is a [wiki-based open community site](https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/)
+covering all aspects of Tcl/Tk.
+
+It is dedicated to the Tcl programming language and its extensions.  A
+wealth of useful information can be found there.  It contains code
+snippets, references to papers, books, and FAQs, as well as pointers to
+development tools, extensions, and applications.  You can also recommend
+additional URLs by editing the wiki yourself.
+
+## <a id="email">7.</a> Mailing lists
+Several mailing lists are hosted at SourceForge to discuss development or use
+issues (like Macintosh and Windows topics).  For more information and to
+subscribe, visit [here](https://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/) and go to the
+Mailing Lists page.
+
+## <a id="support">8.</a> Support and Training
+We are very interested in receiving bug reports, patches, and suggestions for
+improvements.  We prefer that you send this information to us as tickets
+entered into [our issue tracker](https://core.tcl-lang.org/tcl/reportlist).
+
+We will log and follow-up on each bug, although we cannot promise a
+specific turn-around time.  Enhancements may take longer and may not happen
+at all unless there is widespread support for them (we're trying to
+slow the rate at which Tcl/Tk turns into a kitchen sink).  It's very
+difficult to make incompatible changes to Tcl/Tk at this point, due to
+the size of the installed base.
+
+The Tcl community is too large for us to provide much individual support for
+users.  If you need help we suggest that you post questions to `comp.lang.tcl`
+or ask a question on [Stack
+Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/tcl).  We read the
+newsgroup and will attempt to answer esoteric questions for which no one else
+is likely to know the answer.  In addition, see the wiki for [links to other
+organizations](https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/training) that offer Tcl/Tk training.
+
+## <a id="watch">9.</a> Tracking Development
+Tcl is developed in public.  You can keep an eye on how Tcl is changing at
+[core.tcl-lang.org](https://core.tcl-lang.org/).
+
+## <a id="thanks">10.</a> Thank You
+We'd like to express our thanks to the Tcl community for all the
+helpful suggestions, bug reports, and patches we have received.
+Tcl/Tk has improved vastly and will continue to do so with your help.
