GINA RELEASE 2.1
================

The Release 2.1 of GINA is now available from GMD.

GINA (Generic Interactive Application) is an application framework based on
Common Lisp and OSF/Motif to simplify the construction of graphical
interactive applications. It consists of:

 o  CLM, a language binding for OSF/Motif in Common Lisp.

 o  the GINA application framework, a class library implemented in CLOS
    (the Common Lisp Object System).

 o  the GINA interface builder, an interactive tool implemented with GINA
    to design Motif windows.

To run GINA, you need OSF/Motif 1.1 or higher and a Common Lisp implementation
with CLX, CLOS or PCL and processes (directly supported are Franz Allegro,
Lucid and Symbolics Genera).

GINA is publicly available under similar terms as the X Window System.
The GINA 2.1 distribution consists of three files:

    CLM+GINA.README     describes the contents of the release
    CLM2.1.tar.Z        compressed tar file of CLM version 2.1
    GINA2.1.tar.Z       compressed tar file of GINA and the interface
                        builder, including documentation

These files reside on
