update for my version of Dot

As I was unable to solve my dilema of using '=', I've made Dot use
== for comparing and := for assigning. Also added allow_eq, but that
option
is currently broken. Now its time to work on the slicing operators.
(I may also add an interface to declare new syntaxes (such as
switch..case,
until..do, each..in..do, etc.) if I can figure out a way to do this
cleanly.)

Also, I have added a library (to my knowledge linux-only) for using
shared
memory. I plan to use this to help me simulate threads under linux. I
can
use fork() to create the threads, but the problem is how to share
variables
between threads. Its either shared memory or file io, no other form of
IPC is adequate enough to share variables. The real problem is how
to share sequences, and how to make them dynamic, like linked lists.
(I know fork() is used to create new processes btw, but I know how
to use it to simulate threads as well.)

Dot is avaliable as class.tar.gz and my shared memory lib is avaliable
as sharedmem.tar.gz from my site: http://www.geocities.com/jbrown1050

P.S. Working on http redirect wrappers so soon I'll be able to give you
a
web page (such as class_tar_gz.html) and it will automaticly download
the
file for you instead of making you click links.
