PACKAGE CONTENTS:

   README	This file.

   LICENSE	Details of the license that applies to this package.

   A2TOOLS.EXE  MS-DOS executable program.

   manual.dos   User's manual for the DOS version.

   a2tools.6    User's manual for the UNIX version, in manpage format.

   a2tools.c    Source program that should compile automatically on any

		MS-DOS or UNIX ANSI C compiler.

   install.csh  C-shell script for easy UNIX installation.

		(Inspect before running it.)



SUPPORTED PLATFORMS:

   MS-DOS and UNIX.  The source is in ANSI C, and should compile properly

   on both platforms.



UNIX/Linux INSTALLATION:

   Review the shell script "install.csh" and make any changes appropriate 

   for your system. $BINDIR is the directory where the executable program 

   will end up;  $MANDIR/man6 is the directory where the manual page will

   end  up.  The  symbolic  links  are  necessary  -  the program behaves 

   differently  depending  on  what  name  it  is  called as, and thus is 

   equivalent to having several different programs.   See the manual page 

   for details.

   

   Running "install.csh"  will compile the program and install it on your

   system, ready for use.



DOS INSTALLATION:

   A prebuilt executable is furnished in this package.  Renaming it to an

   acceptable short name is recommended.



   Optionally,  the  source  program  may  be  compiled  with  any ANSI C

   compiler.
