Description:	The ftp site contains source code, precompiled interpreters for three platforms (Sun/Sparc,Linux,HP-UX9), and sundry text files giving instructions on how to install and use the interpreter. The interpreter is very new and does contain known bugs (probably also a few unknown ones ;-). However, it is stable enough to be useful for writing small programs (10-100 lines) and executing them in a gdb-like environment, to investigate the semantics of both BETA and the generalization: standard BETA programs will run with the same semantics as before, and the new features are there if you use them.
