Hi all.

Some of the information avaliable in the mozart web page is also obsolete.
See http://www.mozart-oz.org/documentation/install/index.html and you will
notice that the following sections has not maintained information: *Linux
RPM Package*, *Retrieving the Sources*, *Building Mozart for Windows*. Those
sections have instructions related with CVS access and not the current
control system ; SVN.
One important issue is the instructions for building mozart in windoze, wich
is what *benja...@* needs. We can see broken links (i.e. zLib package link)
and also old package versions. More over, there are importants files[1] wich
**FORCES* *us to use tcl/tk 8.4 but there is already the version 8.5 and the
OPI worsk fine with it.
I can contribute by creating a patch (for Mozart 1.4.0 or the Trunk?) with
some update information, but maybe it take me one or two weeks (I have no
much time right now).

Cheers.
