This is an alpha release of E-scape.  Don't expect it to work, and you
might be pleasantly surprised.  (It's impossible for an optomist to
be pleasantly surprised...[who am I quoting?])

`e-scape-get' should work, but `e-scape' is not yet useful.

Daily snapshots are made avaialable at
ftp://alpha.gnu.ai.mit.edu/gnu/e-scape
It is possible that I might be persuaded to make diffs avaialable if
people want them.

Note that if the version of e-scape in the repository fails to compile,
no snapshot will be made that day.  If I break things too often, I might
consider setting things up so that the snapshot generator will run hourly,
and it won't make a new snapshot if one already exists for that day.  But
I doubt that's worth the effort.

There is a mailing list called e-scape-pretest@gnu.ai.mit.edu
If you have access to the GNU machines, feel free to add yourself in the
file /com/mailer/e-scape-pretest; otherwise, send mail to
e-scape-pretest-request@gnu.ai.mit.edu asking to be added.

There may be other gratuitous problems.  Please don't gratuitously waste
my time complaining to me about the time I gratuitously waste on gratuitous
schoolwork.
