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.
