This file contains notes about Macintosh Lua libraries.

These libraries have been compiled with Metrowerks CodeWarrior Pro 3. A 
CW Pro 3 project is provided for making a Lua stand-alone application 
with a simple console. All console routines are those provided by the 
Metrowerks SIOUX library. This library is pretty slow in some cases; this 
is not a problem with Lua.
If you exit the user input loop (by typing Control-D or through the Lua 
function "exit()") the terminal will stay active, as indicated by the 
SIOUX status bar shown atop the console. SIOUX provides clipboard 
functions, scrollback, and the option to save the session to a text file.

The distribution package:
After decoding and decompressing the distribution package, you'll get two 
folders within "lualib 3.1 release":
-  static lualib31 -- lua libraries, PPC and 68K
-  Lua using lualib31 -- a project for making Lua stand-alone using lualib

The file lua31lualib.prj is a CodeWarrior IDE 3.0 project file. If you 
have problems opening this file, two text files are provided with lists 
of files for both the PPC and 68K builds (lua31lualib_68K.text and 
lua31lualib_PPC.text).

Please send any comments/bug reports to the Lua discussion list:

lua-l@tecgraf.puc-rio.br

To subscribe to this list, send a message to listproc@tecgraf.puc-rio.br 
containing "subscribe lua-l YOUR-NAME" in its body (without the quotes).
