@@@STARTPACK(Acme;Acme Labs Java Software)

These excellent Java classes were downloaded from Jef Poskanzer's ACME Laboratories. The ACME Labs home page is at http://www.acme.com/ and includes some remarkably useful freeware.

In addition to the Acme class library, i have also downloaded and packaged up a few of Jef's Java applications. These include :

WebCat
fetch URLs and write them to stdout
WebList
make a list of the files in a web subtree
WebCopy
copy a remote web subtree to the local disk
WebGrep
search a web subtree for a pattern
WebPost
post a web query and write the results to stdout
ToPpm
dump out an image URL as PPM
ToGif
dump out an image URL as GIF
Also included is the Java application wrapper script JavaWrapper and a sample shell script i wrote called webget which front-ends the action of WebCat.

The Acme class library gets extracted, by default, into /usr/local/java/Acme. The Java applications get extracted into /usr/local/java and the shell script wrappers get extracted into /usr/local/bin.

The JavaWrapper script checks to see if your CLASSPATH environment variable is set. If not, it sets it to /usr/local/java. If set, it checks to see if /usr/local/java is a component and, if not, appends that.

Many other useful and fun things are at ACME Laboratories.

If you have questions about the packaging of these classess, you may address them to me, Ron Record, via rr@sco.com.
