The CoFI web page has been updated with the following information:


***  Version 0.99 of the CASL Summary is currently being adjusted to take
     account of the proposed (relatively minor) changes, and about to be
     finalized.

     Any last-minute comments or questions on the Summary should be sent
     without delay to the Language Design mailing list. The deadline for
     comments (originally 8 April, but extended due to Easter holidays) is:

          NOON TODAY !

     The previously-announced documents presenting the draft version 0.99
     abstract and concrete syntax have been superseded by the appendices of
     the new Summary, and are no longer accessible. (The appendices are
     available separately from the main body of the document, for
     convenience of downloading and printing.)


***  The minutes of the CoFI Tools meeting in Lisbon have appeared on the
     Tools mailing list. The minutes of the other meetings (Language Design,
     Semantics, Reactive Systems) are not yet available, but expected to
     appear shortly.


***  Two papers comparing CASL with other specification languages have
     recently been installed:
        o Tentative document Mosses97ASF+SDF. Peter D. Mosses: CASL for
          ASF+SDF Users. DRAFT, September 1997.
        o Tentative document Mosses98CafeOBJ. Peter D. Mosses: CASL for
          CafeOBJ Users. Version 0.99, April 1998.
     It is intended to revise both the above documents in the near future,
     to take account of the final changes to the CASL design and to
     incorporate suggestions for improvements. Please send any comments to
     the author by 15 May 1998.
