1.0.13.30: more README touchups
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
 * Texinfo, not DocBook since late 2004. :) We're fast on things
   like this.

 * HTML available for download, not part of the normal binary
   distribution.

 * Mention BUGS.

 * PURIFY doesn't happen on x86 Darwins, and I've never had to touch
   the limits on PPC either -- so delete that bit.

for Darwin:
PURIFY (which can be used alone but is also used by the system when
saving a new core) uses more stack than the default limit on MacOS
X.2. Therefore, in order to get PURIFY to work reliably, you need
to increase the limit, with e.g.
limit stack 8192 # for the default shell, tcsh
ulimit -s 8192 # for bash
before running SBCL. This is also necessary when building the system
from sources, as part of the build process involves saving a new core.
