1. About ABCL/1
This directory (/pub/abcl1) contains the recent distribution of ABCL/1 (An
object-Based Concurrent Language) system designed and developed by the ABCL
Group now at Department of Information Science, the University of Tokyo.
For more detailed information of ABCL/1, please consult the following book.
It contains several research results of our group and the users manual for
ABCL/1.
"ABCL: An Object-Oriented Concurrent System",
Edited by Akinori Yonezawa,
The MIT Press, 1990, (ISBN 0-262-24029-7)
Before getting ABCL/1, please read the license agreement (/pub/abcl1/License)
carefully. We (ABCL Group) grant the right to use the ABCL/1 system only for
the purpose of research and education. NOT FOR ANY COMMERCIAL PURPOSE.
2. Availability
Current version of ABCL/1 system is fully implemented in Common-Lisp.
Currently, we have tested and used on the following Lisp systems.
Kyoto Common Lisp (KCL) on BSD Unix
Symbolics Common Lisp (Genera 7.2 and up)
Porting to Macintosh Allegro Common-Lisp (MACL) is currently undertaken.
Porting to other Common-Lisp systems seems to be easy.
3. How to obtain ABCL/1 system.

4. How to receive the license of ABCL/1 (IMPORTANT for ALL)
To receive the license of ABCL/1, please complete the license agreement form
(/pub/abcl1/License) and send it to us via PHYSICAL MAIL.
5. About the license for Kyoto Common-Lisp (IMPORTANT for UNIX users)
Actually, executables of ABCL/1 for UNIX are core image files derived from
KCL. Thus, there remains full features of KCL in ABCL/1 executables. If you
don't have KCL, you have to receive the license of KCL from Kyoto University
first. Each executable package (*-binary.tar.Z) includes a copy of KCL license
agreement form. Please receive the license from Kyoto University. NOTE THAT
THE ABCL GROUP DOES NOT ISSUE KCL LICENSE.
