 		      NGS JavaScript Interpreter
 		      ==========================
 
 Welcome to the NGS JavaScript interpreter.  The NGS JavaScript is a
 GPL free interpreter for the JavaScript language.  The JavaScript
 language is an interpreted C-like language, developed by Netscape et
 al.

 * Design Goals
 
 This implementation is not 100% compatible with the JavaScript
 language, found from the Netscape's WWW browsers and servers.  To
 achieve the following design goals, some shortcuts have been taken in
 the implementation, as compared to the Netscape's implementation.
 
 This implementation is designed to be:
 
 - re-entrant
 
   the interpreter can be safely used in multi-threaded environments
 
 - extendible
 
   the interpreter API allows user-defined commands and classes, and it
   allows reading and setting language's global variables
 
 - fast
 
   the JavaScript code is compiled to byte-code that is executed by a
   virtual machine
 
 - programmable
 
   it should be easy to implement large projects with the language
 
 
 * WWW Home Page and Additional Information
 
 The WWW home page of the NGS JavaScript interpreter is at URL:
 
 	http://www.ngs.fi/js/
 
 The home page contains up-to-date information about the interpreter,
 its development, releases, documentation, etc.
 
 Please note that the current version, js-0.2.0 is a work in progress.
 It contains bugs and many features are still unimplemented.
 
 Comments, suggestions, bug reports and fixes, feature wishes, etc. are
