 bin2c.c
-	This program converts files to byte arrays that are automatically
-	run with lua_dobuffer. This allows C programs to include all necessary
-	Lua code, even in precompiled form. Even if the code is included in
-	source form, bin2c is useful because it avoids the hassle of having to
-	quote special characters in C strings.
-	Example of usage: Run bin2c file1 file2 ... > init.h. Then, in your C

-def.lua
-	A Lua script for creating .DEF for Windows DLLs.
-	Just do "make def" to create lua.def.
+compat.lua
+	A compatibility module for Lua 4.0 functions.
 
-min.c
-	A minimal Lua interpreter.
+doall.lua
+	Emulate the command line behaviour of Lua 4.0
 
 lua.ico
 	A Lua icon for Windows.
-	It was drawn by hand by Markus Gritsch <gritsch@iue.tuwien.ac.at>.

+lua.magic
+	Data for teaching file(1) about Lua precompiled chunks.
 
 lua.xpm
 	The same icon as lua.ico, but in XPM format.
 	It was converted with ImageMagick by Andy Tai <andy@exp.com>.
 
-lua.magic

+luser_number.h
+	Number type configuration for Lua core.
+
+luser_tests.h
+	Self-test configuration for Lua core.
+
+min.c
+	A minimal Lua interpreter.
+	Good for learning and for starting your own.
 
-stdcall.lua
-	A Lua script for changing the calling convention to __stdcall.
-	Do "make stdcall" and new modules will be created in stdcall/.
+noparser.c
+	Linking with noparser.o avoids loading the parsing modules in lualib.a.
+	Do "make luab" to build a sample Lua intepreter that does not parse
+	Lua programs, only loads precompiled programs.
 
-setfallback.lua
-	A Lua implementation of fallbacks on top of tag methods.
-	You only need this module if you have Lua code that uses setfallback.
+saconfig.c
+	Configuration for Lua interpreter.
 
 trace.c
-	A simple execution tracer. An example of how to use the debugging hooks.
