The following short manual  describes the changes that  have happened
to  SAIL  since  the  publishing  of  the  Manual  in  July  1973. It
accurately reflects the state of SAIL, version 7, which was put up on
December 4, 1973.  The reader should be warned that many of these new
features were designed for veteran SAIL hackers.

The reader may also want  to refer to the following  documents, which
are usually kept updated.

MACLIE.WRU[DOC,AIL] A  summary  of commonly  made  errors  when using
                    macros and what to do about them.

TUTOR.DOC[DOC,AIL]  In introduction to LEAP.

LEAP.WRU[DOC,AIL]   A detailed description of the runtime environment
                    of LEAP for the  hardy few who want  to interface
                    to LEAP in assembly language.

SAIL.DOC[AIM,DOC]   The  July  '73  manual  (AIM-204)  in  LPT  form.
                    Warning: this  version is the  Stanford character
                    set.  It is also almost 300 pages long.   You can
                    get a  120 page  version, set  in two  columns of
                    nice type from the National Technical Information
                    Service, Springfield, Virginia 22151.

TYPOS[S,AIL]        This  file  contains  the  know  mistakes  in the
                    Manual.  Soon  it  will  also  contain  the known
                    mistakes in this document.
