Annotation of 43BSD/contrib/B/ex/README, revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       root        1: The subdirectories here represent B work spaces, with example B units.
                      2: 
                      3: With 'make examples', the B interpreter in ../lib/bint is tested (via the
                      4: shell command '../bin/b') on the following four examples:
                      5: 
                      6:        generate        generates new sentences based on those supplied
                      7:                        by the user;
                      8:        hanoi           the towers of hanoi;
                      9:        pi              calculates the value of pi, using the unbounded
                     10:                        arithmetic of B;
                     11:        xref            a cross reference generator.
                     12: 
                     13: For more information on these programs, see the B Newsletter, Issue 2.
                     14: 
                     15: When you are on a small system, '../lib/bsmall' is used as the B interpreter.
                     16: Because the output of the examples is different in this case, you should use
                     17: 'make smallexamples' to test it. The pi example will not work at all, because
                     18: bsmall uses bounded arithmetic.
                     19: 
                     20: The B editor ../lib/bed can only be tested by calling ../bin/b interactively.
                     21: For this the 'try' work space has been created from the 'generate' example,
                     22: so you can always regenerate it. For more information see the README in ./try.
