Hello.

I am pleased to announce that Lua 4.0 is now available for DJGPP
users.


What is Lua?
============

  Lua is a powerful, light-weight programming language designed for
  extending applications. Lua is also frequently used as a
  general-purpose, stand-alone language. Lua is free software.

  Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description
  constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua
  is dynamically typed, interpreted from bytecodes, and has automatic
  memory management with garbage collection, making it ideal for
  configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping.

  For more information about Lua, you can visit its home page at:
  <http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/lua/about.html>.


Packages
========

  Lua for DJGPP has been split into three packages: source,
  documentation and pre-compiled binaries. For the meantime you can
  get them at the following URLS:

  Source:
    http://www.geocities.com/n_abing/packages/lua40s.zip

  Documentation:
    http://www.geocities.com/n_abing/packages/lua40d.zip

  Binary:
    http://www.geocities.com/n_abing/packages/lua40b.zip

  The binary packages contains the Lua API and basic libraries (liblua
  and lualib) as well as the byte-code compiler and interpreter (luac
  and lua).

  If you're new to Lua, you should also get the documentation package
  as it contains the Lua reference manual and some example programs
  written in Lua.
