About the Alan distribution for Linux:

This distribution does not contain anything apart from the executable
compiler and interpreter. As of now there are only command line
dversions available of them for Linux from this source. There is
however the Gargoyle initiative which aims to unify most (if not all)
interpreters under the same hood.

You can use any text editor to write you Alan game. A recommended GUI
to create new games is the AlanIDE, available from

	http://www.alanif.se.

There you also can find documentation, an extensive standard library
as well as some sample code.

This port was made on Ubuntu 11.04 in VirtualBox on a Win7 PC by
Thomas Nilsson (thomas@alanif.se).
