I have uploaded the binaries for Basser Lout 2.03 to sunsite.unc.edu
and nic.funet.fi, as lout-2.03.bin.tar.gz and lout-2.03.bin.README.

Lout is a batch typesetting language almost completely unlike TeX;
it's a lot easier to program than TeX and more flexible than LaTeX.
Its output is PostScript conforming to the Adobe structuring
conventions, so that you can run psnup and similar programs on it.
It uses PostScript fonts rather than those horrible Computer Modern
ones that TeX and LaTeX use by default.

I ftp'd the sources from cs.su.oz.au shortly before they were posted
to comp.sources.misc and it compiled and ran straight out of the box
without even needing to do any configuration.

If you want to install it you'll need 3.75Mb of free space - less if
you can live without having the formatted copies of the manuals lying
around (that'll save you maybe 1.5Mb). Download the README and the
tarfile, then read and untar them respectively.

The README contains my digital signature of the (ungzipped) tarfile.
