- IFP 0.5
- -------
-
- This is a boot disk which sets up IFP for demonstration purposes.
- It assumes you have a system with at least 256kb of memory and
- no hard disk.
-
- The root directory on this disk contains:
-
- CONFIG.SYS Sets up RAM-Disk
- AUTOEXEC.BAT Sets up IFP
- IFP.EXE Illinois Functional Programming Interpreter
- MANUAL Reference manual for IFP
- RD.COM Ram Disk
- \DEMO IFP function directory with demonstration functions
- \MATH IFP function directory
-
- The reference manual may be printed with any printer with at least 66
- lines and that recognizes backspace/formfeed.
-
- The following files are utilities used in conjunction with IFP.
- You can replace them with your own favorite editor or directory lister.
-
- ED.EXE PC-Write editor
- SD2.COM Directory Lister
-
- If you have at least 400kb, then you will probably want to use a RAM-Disk.
- In that case, rename the AUTOEXEC.2 and CONFIG.2 files as AUTOEXEC.BAT
- and CONFIG.SYS respectively. If you have a real disk, then you will want
- to substitute the real disk drive for the RAM-Disk. In that case, the
- references to the C: drive in CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files must be
- modified appropriately.
-
- The RAM-Disk holds 180kb of memory.

-
- The IFP on this disk is IFP 0.5, and differs slightly from the IFP 0.3
- described in BYTE (February 1987). The chief difference to the user
- is that no semicolon follows the function in the "show" command, e.g
-
- show <2 3> : +
- 5
-
- This disk also includes more demonstration programs. In particular,
- there is an LU decomposition program in \math\linear.
