 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Babble 1.1.1 (a synoptic Unicode browser) is now available for download at
http://www.iath.virginia.edu/babble/download.html
be sure to check the documentation at
http://www.iath.virginia.edu/babble/babblehelp.html
Some new features have been added:
1. Babble can now deal with SGML-tagged Unicode files delivered via the Web
 (fixing a problem with version 1.1 in which it couldn't find and load
 style sheets correctly). As part of this change, stylesheets are
 now specified in the SGML Doctype declaration (see the documentation).
2. Babble can now flip texts vertically (columns) to horizontally (rows) and
 back again.
 
3. Installation and setup instructions are broken down by platform, and more
 detailed instructions are included on how to set up Babble as a helper
 application, and on how to set up a web server to serve unicode files to
 Babble.
 
4. Two installation versions are available, one for Windows95/NT with a setup
 wizard, and one for manual installations on other platforms (Unix). The
 manual installation version includes a shell script that can be used to
 run Babble as a helper application.
 
5. A new utility, uni2ascii.java is included, for converting Roman-character
 files from unicode to ascii.
 
6. Help documentation now includes new features by release version and a list
 of known bugs and FAQs.
