The CLU programming language is now available for SUN Workstations
running SUN's 4.2 Unix, Versions 1.3 and 2.0.
The SUN implementation contains everything that the VAX and DEC-20
versions have **except** that it is missing the "real" data type
(i.e., no floating point numbers). We do not know when (or if) reals
will be implemented for the SUN. It depends to some extent upon the
CLU users and upon availability of staff time for the implementation.
Distribution information:
Sites must sign a license agreement to obtain a copy of CLU. If you
already have a CLU license, SUN CLU can be obtained for the usual $50
distribution fee. CLU is distributed on standard 1600bpi, 1/2"
mag-tapes in tar format. If you require a SUN 1/4" cartridge tape,
either send a blank tape or add $25 to the distribution fee. For more
information about license agreements, or to order a tape, contact
