ABCL implementations list
					[last modified: Oct. 21, 1993]

This list  provides information about ABCL implementations, describing
what  machine/software-system is required to install/execute,   how to
install, and how to get them.

1. ABCL/1

[system requirements]
    To install/build  the ABCL/1  system, a  Common Lisp is  required.
    Currently, we have tested and used on the following Lisp systems.

	o Kyoto Common Lisp (KCL) on BSD Unix, and
	o Symbolics Common Lisp (Genera 7.2 and higher)

[install]
    The  source code package (abcl1-src.tar.Z)  contains  the detailed
    installation guide.

    For SUN-3/4 users, there are also executable packages.

[files]
    The   ABCL/1   distribution   packages  are  found   in  directory
    /pub/abcl1/ of the anonymous FTP server.

    OOPSLA'86, pp. 258--268, 1986.


2. ABCL/R

[system requirements]
    The ABCL/R system is build on top of the  ABCL/1 system.  Thus the
    ABCL/1 system required prior to use.

[install]
    The README file  in  the  distribution package describes   how  to
    install and boot the system.

[files]
    Distribution package is /pub/abclr/abclr.tar.Z.

3. ABCL/R2

[system requirements]
    To build/install  the  ABCL/R2   system, a Common   Lisp system is
    required  (i.e., ABCL/R2   does not  require ABCL/1   to execute).
    Currently, following systems are supported.

	o KCl (Kyoto Common Lisp)  Nov 13, 1990 (on SUN/SparcStations),
	o AKCL (Austin Kyoto Common Lisp)  Version(1.609) 
	  (on SUN/SparcStations),
	o CMU Common Lisp 16f (on SUN/SparcStations),
	o Macintosh Common Lisp 2.0 (on Macintosh),
	o Sun Common Lisp (on SUN/SparcStations), and
	o Allegro CL 4.1 [SPARC; R1] (on SUN/SparcStations)
	o CLISP version February 1994 (on SUN/SparcStations)

[install]
    File   doc/install in the   distribution package  describes how to
    install the system to UNIX environments.

    For MCL   (Macintosh Common Lisp) users, file  doc/readme-mcl.text
    describes how to install in the MCL environment.

[files]
    Distribution package   is  /pub/abclr2/abclr2-dist-MMDD-YYYY.tar.Z
    where MM, DD, and  YYYY is the released month,  date,  and year of
    the package.
