Blue for Solaris
The current version of Blue for Solaris is version 0.9.7.
You will need Solaris 2.5 or later to install and run Blue. The packages
are compressed, you will need uncompress or gunzip to
uncompress them.
Packages available:
The current Solaris package includes the language manual, the environment
manual, and some example projects.
Installation
After loading the archive onto your system, uncompress it. Use
gunzip if the file has a ".gz" suffix, or uncompress if
it has a ".Z" suffix. gunzip is GNU software; it is available
from most archives if you do not have it. (Some web browsers have the
decompression step built in. In that case the file should have been saved
without the .gz suffix and you do not need to use gunzip.)
Untar tar files using tar.
Example:
$ gunzip blue.094.linux.tar.gz
$ tar xf blue.094.linux.tar
This will create a directory with all blue files. Read the README file in
that directory and follow the instructions.
Getting started
To get started, I recommend that you also load the language manual, the
environment manual and some example projects. All are available from the
Download Corner.

A Favour...
If you get Blue, you could do me a big favour: mail me and tell me about it.
At the moment, I have no idea how good or bad the setup is, for example,
on how many systems the installation script works or does not work,
on what systems blue runs smoothly or fails, etc...
To improve the distribution, it would help me a lot if you would send me a
short mail, telling me whether the installation was successful or not, what
problems you encountered, and if so, how you solved them. Thanks!
