 To run the interactive shell, it suffices to launch the included **iat** shell script. IAT is a simple read-eval-print loop: statements are typed at the command line, evaluated and the result is printed to standard output. Note that the log and error traces are piped to the console.

+== Versions ==
+Currently, AmbientTalk/2 requires a J2SE JVM to run. We are planning to port AT/2 to J2ME (CDC) as soon as possible. This would allow AT/2 to run on PDAs and high-end cellular phones. A port to J2ME CLDC is currently not planned.
 == Documentation ==
+A tutorial describing AmbientTalk/2 will be available shortly.
 The [[http://prog.vub.ac.be/amop/at2doc|Javadoc of the Interpreter]] is also online. It provides documentation about the implementation of the interpreter. A design document describing the design of the interpreter will follow soon.
