The Arcadia Project at University of California, Irvine announces the
release of two software tools, alex and ayacc. Future releases of these
and many other tools/packages are forthcoming.
---------------------------
The UCI Arcadia Software Distribution Package 1.0 contains the following.
alex: a lexical analyzer generating tool written in Ada and generating
Ada code. Alex is modeled after the popular Unix tool, lex.
ayacc : a parser generating tool written in Ada and generating
Ada code. Ayacc is modeled after the popular Unix tool, yacc.
Both tools run under Berkley Unix 4.2 or VAX VMS operating systems.
Requests should be directed to UCI Computing Facility. (see below)

In addition, this package includes Arcturus, an Ada interpreter
system developed at UCI under the Programming Environment Project
headed by Professor Thomas Standish. The Arcturus software is included
with this release because a substantial amount of interest in the ideas
it pioneered still exists. This software is no longer supported, and
is included here with that understanding. Two versions of the system
are provided.
Arcturus 1.7: includes a PDL/Rapid Prototyping subsystem.
runs on VAX machines.
Arcturus 3.4: runs on both VAXes and SUNs.
includes most of Ada tasking, but not the PDL system.
Both versions run under Berkley Unix 4.2.
---------------------------
Interested parties will be asked to sign a license agreement, available
from the UCI Computing Facility. The release package will include the
above mentioned items on a 1/2" magnetic tape (6250bpi/TAR format) as
well as user manuals and installation instructions. A fee of $75,
payable to UC Regents, will be charged to cover costs and handling.
(cartridge tapes and alternate bpi's can be arranged with the Computing
Facility but may require an adjusted fee.)
