Changes since 0.99.4 release;
============================

        Command line:
                -d (dynamic region size) and -M (pattern match stack size)
                        now take values in descriptors
                -v shows CSNOBOL4 version

        Increased default dynamic space to 64K descriptors

        Fix faulty lexical comparison function optimzations for null string

        Performance improvments;
                New string hash function
                (reduced both compilation and run time of genc.sno by 5%)

                Optimized most common case (CONTIN actions) in
                "stream" operation used for lexical analysis.
                (reduced compilation time of genc.sno by 8%)

                Merged all scanner (pattern matching) functions into
                single C function (eliminates mutual recursion, stack
                overflows)
                        genc runtime reduced 15%
                        atn.sno runtime reduced by 63%!! (2.7x faster)
                        worst case (4096 char string) reduced 69% (4.8x faster)
                        snocone self-compile runtime reduced 5%

                Made pattern building functions (lib/pat.c) inlinable
                        (8% reduction in genc.sno compile time)

                Eliminate space padding on lines read by compiler
                        (reduced genc.sno compile time by 65%)

                Raised default C compiler optimization levels

        Default &MAXLNGTH to largest possible string

        Documentation:
                README file describes available includes

                Include PDF of manual page

        Implement fatal "Output error" for output, ENDFILE() errors

        Configuration script re-write;
                Eliminate static config files & autoconf script
                configure generates config.m4 and config.h
                (with all defines) for use by loadable functions

        New configuration options;
        **** see "INSTALL" file for more information ****
        --add-define=
                Add a #define to config.h (visible to external functions)
        --double
                EXPERIMENTAL option to use C "double" for SNOBOL4 REAL data type
        --fast
                Architecture specific optimizations on native compilers
        --longlong
                EXPERIMENTAL!!
                try to use C "long long" (64-bit integer) for INTEGER datatype
                when longs/pointers are only 32-bits (ILP32 data model).
        --lp64
                Request use of 64-bit long/pointer data model
                if available on this architecture, and not the default.
        --no-opt
                Compile without optimization

        New SNOBOL library files (see README);
                compatibility libraries:
                        fence.sno, logic.sno, not.sno
                        spitbol.sno, snobol4+.sno
                HOST() function codes:
                        host.sno
                URL (http:, ftp:, file:) access functions

        Use large files (64-bit offsets) where available.  Allows access
                and creation of files larger than 2GB

        New functions;
                FUNCTION() -- predicate to test if a function is defined
                        ** EXPERIMENTAL **
                LABEL() -- predicate to test if a label is defined
                        idea from Steve Duff's version of Macro SPITBOL
                ORD() -- inverse of CHAR()
                SERV_LISTEN() -- act as TCP server
                SSET() -- scaled SET() allow large files when INTEGER is 32bits
                VDIFFER() -- returns first arg if two arguments DIFFER()
                        idea from Steve Duff's version of Macro SPITBOL

        Extended HOST() functions (see host.sno) for system diagnosis

        HOST() function will accept REAL or integer encoded STRING args

        TIME() function now returns REAL datatype allows both better
                resolution (for small values) and larger range.  Using
                32-bit floats, runtimes larger than four and a half
                hours will lose resolution.

        Statistics reports compiler and execution times as REAL numbers
                Average statement runtime reported in microseconds (us).

        Allow a REAL any place an INTEGER is required (from SNOBOL4+)
                Contexts include TABLE(),  ITEM(),  array  indices,
                INPUT(),  OUTPUT(),  SET(), keyword values, CHAR(),
                RPAD(), LPAD(), FIELD(), COLLECT(), DUMP(), DUPL(),
                OPSYN(), and SUBSTR()

        load.h updates;
                all RETxxx macros safe in any context
                RETSTR() takes single argument, allows NULL pointer
                RETSTR2() has old RETSTR() functionality
                RETINT() and RETREAL() always set return data type.

        All include files needed to build loadable functions
                installed in SNOLIB directory

        Include BSD tsort program; allow builds from scratch
                on platforms with GNU tsort (Linux, Cygwin)

        New ports;
                Ported to Darwin (MacOS X)

                Ported to Cygwin (http://cygwin.com), a free Unix emulation
                        environment for Windows.

                Attempt at native Win32 port

                Updated Borland C port

                Updated VMS port; pipe open support, attempt at tty support
