ter includes the word "common" in
  its name and is stored in this directory.  An example:
</p>

<pre>
	Macaulay2-1.2-i386-Linux.tar.gz
	Macaulay2-1.2-common.tar.gz
</pre>

<p>
  Warning: eventually we may have to subdivide this common area.  For example,
  there may be some systems where the emacs info files are deposited in
  /usr/info, and some where they are deposited in /usr/share/info.  (The latter
  is where we put them.)  We hope we don't run into incompatibilities of that
  type.
