This directory contains the first beta release of the Sather system in
the file "sather-0.01.beta.tar.Z" (250K chunks making up this file are
available in pub/sather/split). A short description of the system
is in sather_summary.txt and a PostScript version of the manual is in
manual.ps. These files are also included in the distribution.
A mailing list exists <sather@icsi.berkeley.edu> which will be used for
Sather software announcements and the discussion of Sather issues. If you
would like to be removed from or added to this list, please send
mail to <sather-request@icsi.berkeley.edu>. If wish to submit bug reports
or suggestions please send them to the list:
<sather-admin@icsi.berkeley.edu>.
The first 0.01 beta release of the Sather programming language and
environment are now available by anonymous ftp. This release includes
the compiler, the debugger, the emacs editing environment, several
hundred library classes, documentation, and some other miscellaneous
tools. These programs are all freely available in source code form and
are covered by an unrestrictive license which is included in the
distribution. The compiler has been functional for almost a year now
and the rest of the environment has been used to build several fairly
large systems. Most components have only been used extensively on Sun
4's running SunOS 4.x. The generated C code is fairly portable and
ports to other machines should not be difficult (the compiler has been
successfully ported to both a DEC workstation and a Sequent.) The
compressed tar file is about 3 megabytes, the unpacked system about
9.3 megabytes and the compiled and installed system about 18
megabytes.
In the United States, you may obtain the distribution by anonymous ftp
on the internet from <icsi-ftp.berkeley.edu>.
