The  Software  Engineering  Institute  announces  the  Serpent  User Interface
Management System, Beta Release 1.0.  Serpent is available via  anonymous  ftp
from ftp.sei.cmu.edu (128.237.1.13) and can be found in /pub/serpent.  Serpent
is also available on export.lcs.mit.edu (18.30.0.238) in /contrib/serpent.

Other ftp sites where Serpent can normally be found should be up  to  date  in
approximately one week.

There  are  several  files  available:  a  README, necessary only if you build
Serpent from source; the  source  distribution  (serpent.src.tar.Z);  and  the
documentation (serpent.docs.tar.Z). In addition, there are several files which
hold binaries for various machines, called serpent.xxx.tar.Z, where xxx can be
vax (for VAXStation), sun3, sun4 (SPARC), and mips (for DECStation). It should
be noted that the binaries only include Athena demonstration programs; if  you
want  to  use  Serpent  under  Motif, you must get the source distribution and
build it.

Serpent Beta Release 1.0 represents a significant change  over  Alpha  Release
0.9,  in  terms  of  enhanced  capabilities,  the addition of the entire Motif
Widget set, significant performance  improvements,  a  universal  input/output
technology integrator, and the Serpent Editor.  There are also some new Athena
and Motif demonstrations.
