This is a beta release of the GNU Sather distribution. It does contain the
new library from Waikato as well as the old components.

It is by far not complete or bug-free. Do not expect anything to work.
Especially the parallel code needs lots of work.

Documentation is still on the way. The files in doc/ are a first preview of
what Keith Hopper is working on in Waikato.

Please test the distribution and send your comments/bugreports to:

    <bug-sather@gnu.org>
    
We hope to get the whole distribution complete and stable as soon as possible
but we cannot tell how much work that may mean and how long it will take us.
In the meanwhile: have fun with the beta releases...
