A very noticeable change is that there are no version numbers in the paths anymore. The good news is that you never have to change them again. The bad news is that you have to remove from your old programs to get them compiled from now on. Please note! This is a preliminary installation. The only supported platform at the moment is SGI. Support for Sun, Linux and HPUX is expected to arrive within the next few weeks. It is possible to continue using the old release 4.1 by changing your environment variables as follows: setenv BETALIB /usr/local/lib/beta/r4.1 setenv PATH $BETALIB/bin:$PATH Please report any problems to support@mjolner.dk and possibly daimi.beta. -- ** Morten Grouleff: ** ** Earthworm Jim PC: ** ** Mjølner Informatics: **
