			NEW IN THIS RELEASE

		Release 0.8 (many hacks on 0.7 by Eric Raymond)

1. A previously undocumented `feature' of the Princeton compiler,
revealed by Don Woods, is now emulated.  If fewer than 1/5 or more
than 1/3 of a program's statements contain the qualifier `PLEASE', the
program is rejected with an entertaining error message.  Programs in pit
have been hacked to pass the politesse test.

2. The `sample' program now works correctly, thanks to Louis Howell.  Also,
he has contributed new programs to calculate pi and to search for prime
numbers.

3. An intercal mode for GNU Emacs is included.  It helps programmers deal with
the new politesse check by randomly expanding the abbrev "do" to DO PLEASE or
PLEASE DO about 1/4 of the time.

4. Improvements in code generation for NEXT/RESUME.

5. Fixes to the optimizer; it handles the results of optimized MINGLEs
   correctly now.  Also, added a rewrite rule that checks for the
   equality-test idiom using XOR.

6. The original error messages from the Princeton compiler have been restored.

The documentation has been updated to reflec these changes.

		Release 0.7 (by Louis Howell)

In addition to bug fixes, new features in this version include arrays,
character I/O, modified (hopefully improved!) semantics for the COME
FROM statement, extensions to bases other than 2, new INTERCAL programs,
and new documentation.

		Release 0.6 (by Steve Swales)

1. Restored Princeton documentation (courtesy of Michael Ernst).

2. Added -@ usage option to ick.

3. Added [+/-]help, [+/-]traditional, and [+/-]wimpmode options for
generated programs; [+/-]traditional is a no-op at this point.

4. Various bug fixes, esp. in lexical analysis.

		Release 0.5 (ESR's original pre-release)

1. As a convenience to all you junior birdmen out there, `NINER' is accepted as
   a synonym for `NINE' in INTERCAL input.

2. The COME FROM statement is now compiled.
