XLISP-STAT Release 3.39 for UNIX systems, Macintosh and MS Windows is
now available for anonymous ftp from umnstat.stat.umn.edu
(128.101.51.1). The sources for all versions are in

	pub/xlispstat/xlispstat-3-39.tar.gz

This a tar archive compressed with the GNU gzip compression utility.
Once you have retrieved the file you can extract the sources with

	gzip -cd | tar xvf - 

The Macintosh and MS Windows distributions are in the directories
pub/xlispstat/macintosh and pub/xlispstat/mswin. README files in those
directories give further details.

This is a beta realease -- some things are still in flux, others have
not been extensively tested. Please let me know if you run into any
problems.

Changes from 3.37 include

	Fixed bug in dynamic loading callback code.

	Incorporation of Macintosh and Windows code.

	Addition of set-working-directory and get-working-directory
	functions.

	Workaround for bug in Linux IEEE NaN handling.

	Fix for bug in dynamic call-cfun/call-lfun code.

	Rearranged files in library directory; eliminated copying of
	.fsl files already in the saved workspace.

	Added file-write-date, rename-file.

	Added pathname functions.

	Changed compile-file to use pathname functions; also now
	writes to a temporary file and renames after successful
	compilation.

	Modified load command to check modification dates of .fsl and
	.lsp files.
