Since bef is a reference implementation (so far as it goes) of Befunge-93, we saw fit to once again combine the specification and implementation into a single distribution.

Befunge-93 is an esoteric programming language where the program exists in a two-dimensional grid of cells, where each cell contains a single instruction, and execution can proceed in any cardinal direction across this grid -- not just left-to-right, but also right-to-left, top-to-bottom, and bottom-to-top.

For more information, see the Befunge-93 specification in the doc directory.
