= IEEE-Pilot This is the README file for the reference implementation of IEEE PILOT by Eric S. Raymond . Example PILOT programs are included in the examples/ directory. They're used for a regression test that you can run with "make check". It will be helpful to have handy a copy of the IEEE Standard for Programmed Inquiry, Learning, Or Teaching (PILOT). This is IEEE Std 1154-1991, ISBN 1-55937-151-X. Be sure you also get the two loose pages of corrections. Note: The standard was withdrawn in 2000 and may thus be difficult to find. The distribution includes an interactive tutorial program written in PILOT that will help you learn PILOT. It is examples/tutor.p; to run it, 'make pilot' and run `./pilot examples/tutor'. For help on porting this PILOT implementation to other environments, see "A Brief Tour of the PILOT Internals", included with this distribution. == AUTHOR'S DISCLAIMER Don't blame me for the language design; I think it's wretched, too, and I only did this implementation for the hack value. The project logo is an image of a small part from a Lionel train set, colloquially known as a 'cowcatcher' but formally a 'pilot'. No warranty express or implied, etc, etc. It runs the conforming examples the IEEE 1154 working group sent me and the tutorial I wrote for it. That's all. Have fun with this, or something... == PACKAGES This code is packaged as "ieee-pilot". image:https://repology.org/badge/vertical-allrepos/ieee-pilot.svg[Repology package status]
