The June 3, 1987 release of KCL is available on JANet and the Internet
from the host uk.ac.ed.aiai, on JANet, and aiai.ed.ac.uk, on
the Internet.  (The two addresses refer to the same machine.)

This is the same version of KCL as that available on the Internet from
the University of Texas.

You may also want AKCL -- KCL as modified by the University of Texas
at Austin.  These modifications make KCL better in various ways and,
in particular, make it work on a greater variety of machines and
operating systems (eg, sun4s, recent versions of SunOS).  To build
AKCL, you need the June 3 KCL plus another file.  Details follow.

NOTE: If the address uk.ac.ed.aiai is not yet known at your site,
you can use 000016000227 (JANet) or 192.41.104.6 (Internet).


		Conditions and Restrictions

The KCL distribution includes complete sources and is provided by the
implementors free of charge but not free of all restrictions.  Before
obtaining a copy of the software, you must sign a license agreement and
send it and a copy to the implementors at Kyoto University.  You may copy
KCL only after mailing the signed license, but you do not have to wait for
a reply from Kyoto.

Note that there is a new mailing address for the KCL license form
and that the address in the license is therefore wrong.  The address
is no longer in Kyoto.  Instead use:

       Special Interest Group in LISP
       c/o Taiichi Yuasa
       Department of Computer Science
       Toyohashi University of Technology
       Toyohashi 441, JAPAN


		Copying from AIAI

The files can be copied using hhcp, cpf, or Internet ftp.

For hhcp and cpf, the files are in the directory <LISP>/kcl and are
accessed with authorization "guest" and with your name and net address
as the password.  For example:

	hhcp 'uk.ac.ed.aiai:<LISP>/kcl/KCL-license' KCL-license
	Authorization: guest
	Password: user-id@host

Note the quote marks in the hhcp command.  User-id@host should be a
valid mail address.  If you don't have "hhcp" at your site, you
may have another program, "cpf".  Then you would start by typing

	cpf '<LISP>/kcl/KCL-license@uk.ac.ed.aiai' KCL-license

If your site is in the Internet, you can get KCL using ftp.  In this
case, the directory is /lisp/kcl, the user name to use is "anonymous",
and the password is (again) your net address.


		Description of the files

Some files that are not part of the KCL system may also be of interest.
In particular, `KCL-license' contains the license form.  It is best to
copy this file first to test that the link works (and to get a copy of
the license).  `kcl.broadcast' is the message from the University of Texas
announcing the availability of KCL on the Internet.  It contains general
information about KCL, some instructions (particularly about BSD4.3), and
another copy of the license form.  The number listed after each file is
its length in bytes.

	KCL-license		6004
	kcl.broadcast          14682

The KCL system itself is a uuencoded, compressed tar file called
kcl.tar.Z.U.  It can be unpacked as follows:

	uudecode kcl.tar.Z.U
	uncompress kcl.tar.Z
	tar xf kcl.tar

The intermediate files should look like this:

	kcl.tar.Z.U		1646726
	kcl.tar			4034560

The most recent version of AKCL available from ed.aiai is:

        akcl-1-605.tar.Z         893091

Note that this file is not uuencoded, so you will have to use a binary
transfer.  If this is a problem, let me know.

A TeX version of the KCL documentation is also available:

        kcl-report.tex           236099

AKCL is packaged as a set of diffs from the sources in kcl.tar.  To
make it, follow the directions in the AKCL sources.  Make sure you do
not change the kcl.tar sources before you do so.  In particular, the
file dates must be exactly what they are in kcl.tar.

Let me know if there are any problems.
