About binaries of Asir 
=======================

Binaries are provided or will be provided for those platforms listed 
below.  Since we do not have them all, binaries for such platforms 
have to be created at other sites.  By this reason, their release dates 
vary by respective platforms.  The day when the sub-directory for a 
platform is creatred is the day of release for that platform. 
See README files under respective sub-directories for conditions, e.g., 
OS etc., which apply to the respective platforms.  
The file `asirlib.tar.gz' under every sub-directory contains Japanese 
help files in JIS code.  If you want help files in EUC code ,in SJIS 
code or English help files, expand files `lib/help-euc.tar.gz',
`lib/help-sjis.tar.gz', or `lib/help-eng.tar.gz' 
and replace the proper one for `LIBDIR/help'. 

`dos/asirlib.lzh' contains the same files as `asirlib.tar.gz'.
`lib/hdos-eng.lzh' contains English help files for DOS.
