2 Preface

ALLPROSE is an Aldor Literate Programming Support Environment. It is a framework for building Aldor libraries and their documentation. It consists of a set of Makefiles and scripts for the building process and it comes with a little sample project MyAlps that demonstrates how to use the ALLPROSE environment.

If fact, ALLPROSE should be considered as a tool that helps to compile an Aldor library together with the documentation of the library. The whole text you are currently reading can be considered as a description of the library project MyAlps. It is completely optional to include the description of ALLPROSE into the final document.1

Since we want this file (myalps.tex.nw) to serve as a template for starting a library project, the order describing things is somewhat reversed. Instead of describing ALLPROSE first, we start with the description of the of the sample library project MyAlps in this file.

ALLPROSE is actually described in the file allprose.tex.nw starting at Section 5. If your are new to ALLPROSE you should start there.
