Abstract Cedar is a new computing environment developed by CSL and ISL for use on D-machinescurrently Dolphins and Dorados. This collection of documents describes Release 3.5 of Cedar, December 1982. It consists of a number of sections that have been separately written, filed, updated, and checked. They may not be entirely consistentthe authors would appreciate being informed of inconsistencies, either internal to the documentation, or between the documentation and the system. Because various part of the system are still under intensive development, any hardcopy documentation is probably out of date. Each of the major components begins with a title sheet that lists the file name of its draft version, which may be more up-to-date. In the following table of contents, items marked with * are short summaries that you should obtain loose copies of for quick reference.
