This is an +implementation of the very old (1962) CAI language Pilot, as described +by IEEE Std 1154-1991, ISBN 1-55937-151-X. + +ieee-pilot can run as an interpreter or compile Pilot programs to +standalone executables. It supports some extensions to the language, +taken from the Atari, Apple, and Nevada implementations. Also, an +ieee-pilotconv utility is included, which converts Capitol Pilot +programs to standard IEEE Pilot. + +To avoid conflicting with Slackware's alpine package (which has a +/usr/bin/pilot command), the executables and man pages are installed +as ieee-pilot and ieee-pilotconv. |
