 2. What's new?
 --------------
 
-The main new feature is the Tcl compilier.  You should certainly
-notice the speed improvements.  Any problems are probably
-generic rather than Mac specific.  If you have questions or
-comments about the compilier feel free to forward them to the
-author of the compilier: Brian Lewis <btlewis@eng.sun.com>.
-Several things were fixed/changed since the a1 release so be
-sure to check this out.
-
-The largest incompatible change on the Mac is the removal of the
-following commands: "rm", "rmdir", "mkdir", "mv" and "cp".  These
-commands were never really supported and their functionality is
-superceded by the file command.
-
-I've also added in a new "AppleScript" command.  This was contributed
-by Jim Ingham who is a new member of the Tcl group.  It's very cool.
-The command isn't actually in the core - you need to do a "package
-require Tclapplescript" to get access to it.  This code is officially
-unsupported and will change in the next release.  However, the core
-functionality is there and is stable enough to use.  Documentation 
-can be found in "AppleScript.html" in the mac subdirectory.
-
-The resource command has also been rewacked.  You can now read and
-write any Mac resource.  Tcl now has the new (and VERY COOL) binary
-command that will allow you to pack and unpack the resources into
-useful Tcl code. We will eventually provide Tcl libraries for
-accessing the most common resources.
-
-See the main Tcl README for other features new to Tcl 8.0.
+Internationalization!  This is the first Tcl release that features
+can handle international characters.
+
+On the Macintosh, the System Encoding is taken from the script of the
+Finder Font as set in the Views control panel, or in the Finder
+Preferences in OS8.0.
