Release notes and other useful information

Version 4.1

Version 4.1 contains about 500 acronyms more than the initial release. Now V.E.R.A. knows about more than 7000 acronyms.

Besides I wrote a script which automagically translates the german references sometimes to be found behind the acronym expansions in the original version of V.E.R.A. into the appropriate english terms. It also adds `Germany' to german locations. However I still may have missed some german terms or locations. It is kind of awful to proof-read 7000 acronym expansions. If you still spot german terms in the references, please let me know about.

Installation as Info file

If you like to install V.E.R.A. in your Info environment, there are three steps to do so:

1. Make an Info file from the Texinfo source, type: makeinfo vera.texi (The file extension may differ in your environment.)
2. Copy the files generated by the previous step to the directory where the Info files reside on your site.
3. Go to your Info directory and edit the dir file. Insert a line like the following where appropriate. * V.E.R.A.: (vera). Virtual Entity of Relevant Aconyms
