Date: 9 Jun 1982 1656-EDT An efficient implementation of the CLU programming language/system is now available for the VAX under 4.1bsd. The user interface is nearly identical to the TOPS-20 version of CLU, and includes a compiler, linker, assembler, run-time system, extensive debugging environment, and a powerful real-time display text editor (written in CLU) with a number of CLU-related features. The CLU reference manual is available from Springer-Verlag, Lecture Notes in Computer Science 114. The system is available for free with the proviso that it not be used for commercial gain. The complete system (all sources and binaries) is about 16Mb; a bare bones system is about 3Mb. The system is not available over a network; to get a copy, send a written request specifying VAX/4.1bsd and a magtape to Bob Scheifler MIT Laboratory for Computer Science 545 Technology Square Room 522 Cambridge, MA 02139 We (currently) pay the return postage. The default tape format will be tar cb 20 . of a directory hierarchy. In this format, an 800 foot magtape will suffice. If you want a different format, make sure you specify it. All we have is a TS-11 drive. And please, no queries about a VMS version. We are starting work on one, but don't hold your breath. And no, we don't have a version for any other machines or operating systems except the 20 under TOPS-20. -------
