Version 2.1.2_Beta2 of Saber-C is available in the `nsaber' file
system. Only the vax version is available at present. The commands
available are all prefixed with `n': nsaber, nxsaber, &c.
The following changes have been made since 2.1:
* xsaber is faster
* cursor keys work in xsaber
* options are available to support eight-bit character sets
* prototype files for X11, Xt, and Xaw libraries are available
* a `proto' command to make prototype files is available
* saber doesn't die on gcc's -g information; it just ignores it
* numerous bugfixes
Please try it out and make comments. Their beta-test schedule is
fairly tight, so we should get comments in ASAP.
