@cindex obtaining Tramp
@value{tramp} is freely available on the Internet and the latest
-release may be downloaded from

-documentation and code for @value{tramp}, suitable for installation.
-But GNU Emacs (22 or later) includes @value{tramp} already, and there
-is a @value{tramp} package for XEmacs, as well. So maybe it is easier

@c Installation chapter is necessary only in case of standalone
machines. The symbol @code{tramp-default-remote-path} is a place
holder, it is replaced by the list of directories received via the
command @command{getconf PATH} on your remote machine. For example,
-on GNU Debian this is @file{/bin:/usr/bin}, whereas on Solaris this is
-@file{/usr/xpg4/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/bin:/opt/SUNWspro/bin}. It is
-recommended to apply this symbol on top of @code{tramp-remote-path}.

Which systems does it work on?

The package was intended to work on Unix, and it really expects a
Unix-like system on the remote end (except the @option{smb} method),
But I have decided that this is too fragile to reliably work, so on some
systems you'll have to do without the uuencode methods.
