This is a version of Preston Brigg's NUWEB system, a simple literate
programming language and tool.

Here is what Preston says:

	NUWEB works with any programming language and LaTeX.  I wanted
	to use LaTeX because it supports a multi-level sectioning scheme
	and has facilities for drawing figures.  I wanted to be able to
	work with arbitrary programming languages because my friends and
	I write programs in many languages (and sometimes combinations
	of several languages), e.g., C, Fortran, C++, yacc, lex, Scheme,
	assembly, Postscript, and so forth.

This is revision 0.87b, for the Commodore Amiga.  To avoid collisions with
a pre-release of this port and to take account of the language support this
package now is called ami_nuweb0.87c.  It should be compatible with
ami_nuweb0.87b in CTAN, except for a minor correction in the English header
file and the German catalog, which effects the error output only.

This distribution includes the Ami_NuWeb executable, all source files
(web and C), documentation and the (short) .dvi output of the user manual.

Contents:
  Ami_NuWeb	The executable for any Amiga hardware, supports coprocessor
  Makefile	The original UNIX Makefile, unmodified for historic reasons
  SMakefile	The Makefile for SAS/C++ 6.51
  README	Preston Brigg's original README file
  ami_nuweb_086.readme	Tomas Willis's AmiNet description for NuWeb 0.86
  ami_nuweb0.87c.readme	This file
  literate.bib	A BibTeX bibliography of literate programming references
  nuweb.w	The NUWEB source for NUWEB
  nuweb.ch	A change file for better ANSI compliance and Amiga support
  ami_nuweb.w	The merged result of nuweb.w and nuweb.ch
  ami_nuwebdoc.dvi	The short-form NUWEB user manual in .dvi form
  global.h	A header file used globally
  main.c pass1.c latex.c html.c output.c input.c scraps.c
	names.c arena.c global.c
		Source files generated by NUWEB
  catalogs/nuweb.cd	Catalog description with the English texts
  catalogs/nuweb.d.ct	Catalog translation with the German texts
  catalogs/nuweb.h	Header file with the English texts
  catalogs/deutsch/nuweb.catalog	German system catalog

This port was done and completely tested with SAS/C++ 6.51 on an Amiga 2000
by Andreas Scherer, Roland-Straße 16, 52070 Aachen, Germany.
I started from Tomas Willis's work, switched to NUWEB 0.87b, and added some
parts on my own.  Thanks to Preston Briggs for NUWEB and to Tomas Willis
for the (S)Makefile and the `temp_file+=2' hack.

Concerning the use of NUWEB with other human languages than English, I
implemented full localization of all strings used for terminal output as
well as LaTeX output for the Amiga version of NUWEB only.  Should someone
create translations for other languages as well, I would appreciate to
receive a copy for inclusion in future distributions.
