ruby-lisp-0.1 is Released!
==========================

I have just released the ruby-lisp module to the world.  Check it out at

	http://rubyforge.org/project/showfiles.php?group_id=109

and get back to me if you have any comments.  Thanks!

So what is ruby-lisp?
=====================

It is a module for implementing nice Lisp features for use in Ruby.
Currently the only sub-module that exists is Lisp::Format, which
implements Lisp's (format) function and its formatting language.  For
people not familiar with this language, it is a very expressive
string formatting language, much like sprintf()'s, but much more
powerful.  It allows for iteration, case conversion, conditionals, and
much more.  If you have ever felt stupid while creating a string
iteratively, to print an array or some such, this is definitely for you!

Documentation
=============

There is extensive documentation, both of the implementation and how to
use the formatting language and its constructs, embedded in the source
using RDoc.  To generate the documentation, simply run RDoc on
format.rb:
	rdoc -T kilmer format.rb
(or skip the -T kilmer if you don't want that theme).  RDoc can be found
at
	http://rdoc.sourceforge.net/

About the Release
=================

OK, so I threw this release together rather haphazardly, and there is no
README or ChangeLog or such included yet.  This will be added in the 0.2
release.  Please forgive me on this point.
