Welcome to release 0.8

This release was very long to issue but lots of memory space 
allocation problems where solved and the graphical user interface
was improved.

You can print using 'xfig' as a previewer and print manager.  Or you 
can produce a postscript file using 'transfig'.

Notes that there is no support for international standards.  If your system 
use locale rules (like ',' as decimal separator) and if abs does not work
properly, use 'env LANG="C" abs' to start the program.

Take care if you use file produced with previous release:
1) edit the file
2) check there is a line like
      sub absmain()
3) if not, replace the line
      sub main()
   by the 4 lines
      sub main()
       call absmain
      end sub
      sub absmain
If you do not do that, your modification will not be saved.

Please e-mail me your comments, I do not answer all the time but I read and
appreciate everything (abs@pi.be)

Thank you for downloading.  Share and enjoy!
