 ====== KiCS ======
-KiCS compiles Curry to Haskell and can be downloaded at [[http://www.informatik.uni-kiel.de/prog/mitarbeiter/bernd-brassel/projects/|the KiCS project page]].
+KiCS is a Curry implementation that compiles Curry programs to [[http://www.haskell.org/ | Haskell]] programs. Note that KiCS no longer maintained and has been replaced by the more advanced compiler [[http://www-ps.informatik.uni-kiel.de/kics2 | KiCS2]] which uses a different compilation scheme. Nevetheless, you find below some hints to install and use an old version of KiCS.
+===== The KiCS User Manual (also included in the distribution) =====
+  * [[http://www-ps.informatik.uni-kiel.de/~bbr/kics/UserManual.html | User Manual (html)]]
+  * [[http://www-ps.informatik.uni-kiel.de/~bbr/download/UserManual.pdf | User Manual (pdf)]]
+===== Installation =====
+To install KiCS on your system, follow this procedure:
+== Step 1: ==
+Make sure that you have a fairly new and functional version of the [[http://www.haskell.org/ghc | Glasgow Haskell Compiler]] (GHC>=6.8.2) installed. To check your installation, type:
+    $ ghc --version
+and you should get something like:
+    The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.8.2
+== Step 2: ==
+The KiCS system is divided in two parts: a frontend and a backend.
+The [[http://hackage.haskell.org/package/curry-frontend | Curry frontend lives on hackage]]. Therefore, the only thing you have to do to install it is:
+    $ cabal install curry-frontend
+Make sure that the cabal directory for binaries is in your path, e.g., by
+    $ export PATH=~/.cabal/bin:$PATH
+Note that you need to set the path for the installation process only. Test that you can access ''cymake'' now, e.g. by:
+    $ which cymake
+    /home/my_name/.cabal/bin/cymake
+Instead of setting the path you can also change the information in the
+''Makefile''. You can change one or both of the two lines
+    GHCBIN = $(shell which ghc)
+    CYMAKEBIN = $(shell which cymake)
+to
+    GHCBIN = path_to_ghc/bin
+    CYMAKEBIN = path_to_cabal_bin
+== Step 3: ==
+Now install the backend. Download the [[http://www-ps.informatik.uni-kiel.de/~bbr/download/kics_src.tgz | source tarball]]. Unpack and make it, e.g.:
+    $ gunzip kics_src.tgz
+    $ tar xf kics_src.tar
+    $ cd kics
+    $ make
+== Step 4: ==
+If you want to use the b.i.o. debugger you have to type additionally:
+    make bio
