===============
FUNNELWEB 3.0AC
===============

For some time now, I have been working on enhancing FunnelWeb 3.0 by
adding features.  Ross Williams, the creator of FunnelWeb, has now
allowed me to distribute my enhanced version of FunnelWeb 3.0 as
FunnelWeb 3.0AC.

To the usual FunnelWeb 3.0 features, FunnelWeb 3.0AC adds the
following major features:

(i)   HTML output support
(ii)  line directive support (auto or manual insertion)
(iii) support for OS/2 and Linux

plus other miscellaneous features.  FunnelWeb 3.0AC is completely
compatible with FunnelWeb 3.0 sources (provided they don't define
macros starting with '#'; details are provided in the file README.ABC
in the FunnelWeb 3.0AC distribution), at least to the best of my
current knowledge.  Extra features must be explicitly asked for by
using pragmas in the FunnelWeb source files.

You can get FunnelWeb 3.0AC by going to my WWW LitProg page

  //http:www.physics.uq.oz.au:8001/people/coates/funnelweb.html

or by FTPing one of the following files from ftp.physics.uq.oz.au :

(i) for existing FunnelWeb users, `fw950115.tar.gz' contains the new
    sources which can be unpacked in the `funnelweb/sources' directory
    or in an alternate source directory if you wish to keep both sets
    of source code available.  You should read the file `README.ABC'
    which comes with the new sources.

(ii) if you don't have FunnelWeb, FTP `funnelweb30AC.tar.gz' which
     contains a FunnelWeb 3.0 distribution to which my changes have
     been added.  Print out the users manual (in the `fwAC30/userman'
     directory) for installation instructions.  Also read the file
     `README.ABC' in the `fwAC30/sources' directory.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to email them
to me at `coates@physics.uq.edu.au'.
					Cheers,
							Tony.
