------------

  S-Lang is an interpreted language that was designed from the start to
  be easily embedded into a program to provide it with a powerful
  extension language.  Examples of programs that use S-Lang as an
  extension language include the jed text editor and the slrn
  newsreader.  Although S-Lang does not exist as a separate application,
  it is distributed with a quite capable program called slsh (``slang-
  shell'') that embeds the interpreter and allows one to execute S-Lang
  scripts, or simply experiment with S-Lang at an interactive prompt.
  Many of the the examples in this document are presented in the context
  of one of the above applications.

  S-Lang is also a programmer's library that permits a programmer to
  develop sophisticated platform-independent software.  In addition to
  providing the S-Lang interpreter, the library provides facilities for
  screen management, keymaps, low-level terminal I/O, etc.  However,
  this document is concerned only with the extension language and does
  not address these other features of the S-Lang library.  For
  information about the other components of the library, the reader is
  referred to The S-Lang Library Reference.

NOTES:
      - this version utilizes terminfo database only, no termcap support!
        (thats very good, coz this means it accepts CSI sequences.)
      
      - be careful about hacking ncurses proggies and forcing them to
        use slang, some of them might refuse to work with slang's curses
        emulation. (two demo programs, originally written for curses,
        included with this package failed...)
