Jordan Hubbard of PCS (jkh@pcs.com) has asked me to announce the
availability of the latest alpha release of AWL.  AWL is a C-like
language with a byte-code compiler/interpreter and a great inter-
face to the X toolkit.  He believes and I provisionally agree that
entire windowing applications can be developed in this language.
(But there's a full native-code callout facility, too).  AWL grew
out of the never-ending generality of Jordan's XGDB program.  I
am hoping to see AWL finished and released so that Jordan will go
back to work on XGDB.

To that end, I put the code on gatekeeper.dec.com for anon ftp as
/pub/X11/contrib/awl.tar.Z (also appearing for NON-anonymous UUCP
as "decwrl!~/pub/X11/contrib/awl.tar.Z" and for anonymous DECnet
FAL (internal sites only) as DECWRL::"/pub/X11/contrib/awl.tar.Z".

-r--r--r--  1 root       331921 Apr 30 01:16 pub/X11/contrib/awl.tar.Z

There's also a copy on expo's contrib.  And I sent it to the
comp.sources.x moderator.  Lastly, I sent a copy to my sister,
her dog, and her accountant.
