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
