In a recent article Cartsen Heyl asks for information about  BETA:

	Hello,

	does anybody has information about a language called beta ?
	Any hints on ftp`able information, public compilers ?
	Any hints on books ?

	If decide to write a followup please reply a copy
	directly to the address below.

	Thanks for wasting your time, :-)
		Carsten

I includes a list of publications about BETA.
The two last items are books that we expect to be available in 6 months.

An implementation of BETA is available from Mjolner Informatics.
In addition to a commercial version, a demo version is available.
Contact Kim Jensen Moller (kjm@mjolner.dk) for further information.
