- The alpha test release of Berkeley Logo is hereby officially
- available by anonymous FTP. "Alpha test" means that I know there are
- bugs in it! But you're welcome to try it if you understand that.
- I'm happy to get bug reports but I don't promise anything.
-
- FTP to anarres.cs.berkeley.edu and get the following files:
-
- pub/logo.tar.Z Unix sources and documentation
- pub/ucblogo.zip PC version, PKZIP form, including executable BL.EXE
- pub/ucblogo.sit.hqx Mac version, StuffIt/BinHex form, w/ executable Logo
- pub/usermanual Just the documentation file.
- pub/csls.tar.Z Logo programs from _Computer Science Logo Style_
-
- You're on your own for the unpacking software.
-
- Advantages of Berkeley Logo:
-
- * It's free.
-
- * It comes with source files (in C).
-
- * Logo programs are completely compatible among Unix, PC, and Mac.
-
- Disadvantages of Berkeley Logo:
-
- * It's pretty slow.
-
- * It doesn't do anything fancy about graphics. (One turtle.)
-
- * It still has bugs. In particular, it runs out of memory easily.
-
- People who can't handle anonymous FTP will have to wait until I get home
- (I'm in Ohio right now) to organize other forms of distribution.
