Contents

AFNIX is distributed with several clients and libraries. The distribution also incorporates the documentation and numerous examples. A comprehensive programming interface is also available. By definition, the distribution defines as core element, any client or library that is distributed by default. This means that a core element is almost platform independent. Opposite to the core element, are the extension elements that are not distributed automatically. Although some of them might be, it is not necessarily true. For instance, the static version of the interpreter is part of the core distribution but is not built automatically.
