##### 6.3.7.3 Miscellaneous Documentation

In addition to the formal documentation that is installed by GCC, there are several other text files with miscellaneous documentation:

`ABOUT-GCC-NLS`
  Notes on GCC's Native Language Support. FIXME: this should be part of this manual rather than a separate file.
`ABOUT-NLS`
  Notes on the Free Translation Project.
`COPYING`
  The GNU General Public License.
`COPYING.LIB`
  The GNU Lesser General Public License.
`*ChangeLog*`
`*/ChangeLog*`
  Change log files for various parts of GCC.
`LANGUAGES`
  Details of a few changes to the GCC front-end interface. FIXME: the information in this file should be part of general documentation of the front-end interface in this manual.
`ONEWS`
  Information about new features in old versions of GCC. (For recent versions, the information is on the GCC web site.)
`README.Portability`
  Information about portability issues when writing code in GCC. FIXME: why isn't this part of this manual or of the GCC Coding Conventions?

FIXME: document such files in subdirectories, at least `config`, `cp`, `objc`, `testsuite`.
