New home page is http://www.accesscom.com/~darius/ New upstream email is darius@accesscom.com This package was put together by Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho . The upstream sources were obtained from . Upstream maintainer is Darius Bacon . This package does not use pristine source, since the upstream tarball contained example programs that are taken verbatim from Knuth vol 1. In Eric Raymond's opinion, including them (and a copy of the relevant parts of the books, which has been removed from the tarball by upstream) would be "fair use", but I'm not convinced of that. Therefore, I've removed the files mixal/elevator.mix mixal/mystery.mix mixal/prime.mix from the source tarball. If someone has a convincing argument for including them (for example, an explicit permission from Addison Wesley Longman), I'll put them back again. But for now, they will stay out. -- Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho Tue, 2 Feb 1999 15:14:00 +0200 The copyright statement (from the file READ.ME) follows: This implementation was designed and written by Darius Bacon , then ported to UNIX and debugged by Eric S.
