It is distributed for historical curiosity +to celebrate 10 years of Lua and is hereby placed in the public domain. + +There is no documentation, except the test programs. The manual for Lua 1.1 +probably works for this version as well. + +The source files for the lexer and parser have been lost: all that is left is +the output of lex and yacc. A grammar can be found inside y_tab.c in yyreds. + +The code compiles and runs in RedHat 5.2 with gcc 2.7.2.3. It may not run in +newer systems, because it assumes that stdin and stdout are constants, though +ANSI C does not promise they are. If make fails, try using the fixed modules +provided in the "fixed" directory. To see the differences (which are really +quite minor), do "make diff". + +To see Lua 1.0 in action, do "make test". (The last test raises an error on +purpose.) + +Enjoy! + +-- The Lua team, lua@tecgraf.puc-rio.br |
