The oodles-of-utils distribution currently consists of two main files.

oou-lisp
 The complete lisp source for oou + the documentation.

oou-fasl
 The oou source files compiled with whatever settings I'm currently
 using - which are probably all the expensive ones turned on, like
 *fasl-save-local-symbols*, ...

 I'm providing the fasl files as a convenience. You can easily compile
 oou yourself, but it can take a while if you machine is slow or you're
 tight on memory.

 Note: To use the fasl files you need to put the oou-fasl folder in
 the oou folder.

If you see other files in the directory these are additions or bug fixes
issued in the intermim between new versions.


Documentation

The oodles-of-utils folder now has an docs sub-folder.

The documentaion for oou has grown so large (70+ pages, table of contents,
index, appendicies, ...) and cumbersome that I was forced to abandon
plain text files. The main documentaion file is oou-docs.RTF

oou-docs was written using Microsoft Word, but I'm distributing it in
Microsoft's RTF format which a variety of word processors can read.
No information from the original MS Word document should be lost. In
addition, RTF format avoids some of MS Word's pitfalls (storing fonts
by id instead of name, incompatabilities between versions 4.0x & 5.0x
of MS Word (which are 100% compatible)) If you cannot find a way to read
or print the docs, contact me and I'll try to arrange something.

oou-docs are desinged for double-sided hardcopy. So for the nicest
results, either print them double-sided or duplicate them double-side.

ILS users should see me before printing out the docs. I'm going to try
and arrange to have ILS keep some nicely printed and bound copies available.

If you choose to view oou-docs online using MS Word, it will be infinitely
more legible if you turn OFF the display of hidden text and paragraph marks.
