Please report bugs to scheme-48-bugs@martigny.ai.mit.edu, and include
the version number in your message.
Installation instructions in file INSTALL.
A user's guide is in file doc/user-guide.txt.
Recent changes are listed in file doc/news.txt.
Known bugs and things to do in the future are listed in doc/todo.txt.
Send mail to scheme-48-request@martigny.ai.mit.edu to be put on a
mailing list for announcements, discussion, bug reports, and bug
fixes.
-----
When running "make", don't worry if the ".notify" target fails. Its
only purpose is to send an email message to
scheme-48-notifications@martigny.ai.mit.edu, so that we can get a
rough idea of how much Scheme 48 is being used and by whom. We
promise not to use your name or email address for any commercial
purpose. If you don't want us to know, just do "make -t .notify"
first (after running "configure").
