- InterViews 3.1-beta2 is now available via anonymous ftp
- from "interviews.stanford.edu" (IP address 36.22.0.175).
- The distribution is in a compressed tar file named "pub/3.1-beta2.tar.Z"
- (about 3.7Mb). The distribution is also ftp-able from sgi.com
- in "graphics/interviews/3.1-beta2.tar.Z".
-
- The README file in the top-level directory contains information
- about how to build InterViews. The PostScript file iv/src/man/refman/cover.ps
- contains general information about 3.1 (including a brief
- discussion of differences from 3.0).
-
- This beta contains fixes from the first beta, a few enhancements, and
- a few more examples. The purpose of this beta is to eliminate any
- remaining build problems before generating the official 3.1 snapshot.
-
- Please send problems to interviews-bugs@interviews.stanford.edu.
