We are glad to announce the first release of

             The Parma Polyhedra Library (version 0.1)

                    http://www.cs.unipr.it/ppl/

The Parma Polyhedra Library is a C++ library for the manipulation
of convex polyhedra.  The applications of convex polyhedra include
program analysis, integer and combinatorial optimization and
statistical data-editing.

The Parma Polyhedra Library is:

  + user friendly:           you write `x + 2*y + 5*z <= 7'
                             when you mean it;
  + fully dynamic:           available virtual memory is the only
                             limitation to the dimension of anything;
  + written in standard C++: meant to be portable;
  + exception-safe:          never leaks resources or leaves invalid
                             object fragments around;
  + rather efficient:        and we hope to make it even more so;
  + thoroughly documented:   perhaps not ``literate programming''
                             but close enough;
  + free software:           distributed under the terms of the
                             GNU General Public License.
