README file for guavac, version 0.2.3

Guavac is a new compiler for the Java language, written by Effective Edge
Technologies and distributed under the Gnu Public License.  You should feel
free to use, copy and modify it, based on the terms in the COPYING file
included in this distribution.
We are distributing guavac free of charge in the hopes that other people will
find it useful and possibly enhance its utility in turn.

     ****************************************************************
     Guavac should produce correct bytecode for valid Java input, but
     you may encounter some difficulties in compiling guavac itself,
     which may make guavac impractical for inexperienced programmers.
     ****************************************************************

Guavac is written in C++, so it requires a decent C++ compiler and a class
library that implements the standard C++ libraries defined in the current
C++ standard.  To be more specific, guavac uses a few STL collection classes
(like map and deque) as well as the standard string class which is used
for Java's 16-bit (Unicode) strings.  This has only been tested using gcc
(version 2.7.2) and libg++ (version 2.7.1), which seem to work out
of the box on Linux, Irix and Solaris.
     *********>>>>> Older versions of gcc will NOT work.
