Recent changes to the ACL FAQ

$Revision: 1.1.2.13.12.9 $


Go to main FAQ page.

Each item in the FAQ has a date indicating the last significant modification. (A modification is significant if new or different information is provided. A modification that simply fixes trivial and obvious errors, such as spelling errors, or simply updates the version number is not considered significant.) Items that are new or substantially changed for Allegro CL 6.1 have a date 10/7/01 or later. Items with earlier dates are not changed significantly for release 6.1.
