Yes. The latest release is dated Dec 15, 1990. Here's part of Barak Pearlmutter's (one of the authors) reply to my query two months back. % There have been only very minor bug fixes since Jan '90. Because I % left CMU my workstation was recycled, so the most recent copies of % both the release and the manuals is on f.gp.cs.cmu.edu (128.2.250.164), % /usr/bap/oak/ftpable/. There is also a chapter in "Topics in Advanced % language Implementation" ed Peter Lee, MIT Press, 1990. It was % supposed to be in distribution a couple months ago. Things to note: 1) Barak has a new email address (barak@james.psych.yale.edu). 2) When you do the FTP, "cd /usr/bap/oak/ftpable". Most other directory specifications seem to be illegal (in particular, ".." is disallowed). Keeps you from browsing the filesystems. 8-) Good luck! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adrian Ho, EECS (pronounced "eeks!") Dept.
