I have put a fixed version in our archive. It has all fixes that I have
seen on the net + I fixed the assembler for the stop instruction (I don't
think that many people use this). The compiler is now able to compile
itself with -O.

I also made a small change to make to have it override macro values by
command line arguments of the form MACRO=value.

The package contains binaries, sources of the compiler and tools, h files
and binaries of dlibs, and gemfast. The sources of dlibs and gemfast
libraries are not includes, as they are somewhere else in the archive. Also
the libraries don't have the latest patches, but once you have the compiler
that isn't hard to do.

How to get sozobon.zoo from the archive at
	Dept. of Computer Science, Utrecht University:

NOTE: In the following I have assumed your mail address is john@highbrow.edu.

    Of course you must substitute your own address for this. This should be
    a valid internet or uucp address. For bitnet users name@host.BITNET
    usually works.  

by FTP: (please restrict access to weekends or evening/night (i.e. between
about 20.00 and 0900 UTC).

    ftp archive.cs.ruu.nl [131.211.80.5]
    user name: anonymous or ftp
    password: your own email address (e.g. john@highbrow.edu)
    cd /pub
    don't forget to set binary mode if the file is a tar/arc/zoo archive,
    compressed or in any other way contains binary data.
    get ATARI-ST/lang/sozobon.zoo

by mail-server:

send the following message to
mail-server@cs.ruu.nl (or uunet!mcsun!hp4nl!ruuinf!mail-server):

    begin
    path john@highbrow.edu (PLEASE SUBSTITUTE *YOUR* ADDRESS)
    send ATARI-ST/lang/sozobon.zoo
    end

NOTE: *** PLEASE USE VALID INTERNET ADDRESSES IF POSSIBLE. DO NOT USE
ADDRESSES WITH ! and @ MIXED !!!! BITNETTERS USE USER@HOST.BITNET ***

The path command can be deleted if we receive a valid from address in your
message. If this is the first time you use our mail server, we suggest you
first issue the request:
    send HELP
