Jal is a partial port of the STL by the C++ Standard Template Library authors
(Matthew Austern and Alexander Stepanov). It contains several useful
algorithms that cannot be found elsewhere. It is distributed under the
following X11-like license:

Copyright (C) 1996 Silicon Graphics, Inc.

Permission to use, copy, modify, distribute and sell this software and its

notice and this permission notice appear in supporting documentation. Silicon

any purpose. It is provided "as is" without express or implied warranty.


To build the sources, you must use the "instantiate" script, which takes a
primitive type, or Object, or String, as first argument, and a directory name
where the sources will be generated. Note that you must also add the option
"-n" when generating sources for primitive types.

This version of Jal has been generated using the following package names:

  jal.<plural downcased type>

For instance, jal.ints, jal.objects, and so on. Other distributions of Jal
used jal.INT. Here, we used the fastutil convention (see
http://fastutil.dsi.unimi.it/).
