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.
