			How To Get The Scorpion System

Version 5.0 of the Scorpion System is now available for distribution.
It runs on the following machines: Sun-3, Sun-4, DEC Vax, DEC 3100,
NeXT, Sequent Symmetry, and HP 9000. 

There are two ways to get the system.

1. Obtain an order form either by email (scorpion-project@cs.arizona.edu)
or from the following address.

	The Scorpion Project
	Department of Computer Science
	Gould-Simpson Building
	The University of Arizona
	Tucson, AZ 85721
	U.S.A.
	(602) 621-8448

The system is available in a variety of formats for a nominal
distribution fee. As an example, it is available on 9-track tape at
1600BPI with full documentation (a book and about 500 pages of printed
manuals) for $100.00.

2. FTP the code to your site over the net by typing the following
bracketed text without brackets. You should see similar output (the
number of bytes is only approximate).  Converting to binary mode to
transfer the compressed tar file is crucial.

At that point, you can print out the README file and the installation
instructions (they come as raw text and as a postscript-format file).
