SAWMILL 4.0 RELEASE NOTES FOR MACOS
===========================================================================
Thank you for purchasing Sawmill! If you have any questions, comments or
suggestions about Sawmill, please send email to sawmill@flowerfire.com, or
call us at (217) 898-6131.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sawmill ships in a BinHexed self-extracting archive. You can unBinHex it
using a program like Aladdin Systems StuffIt Expander
(http://www.aladdinsys.com/expander/index.html). Expander will also
automatically uncompress the result, but if you are not using Expander, you
can uncompress it manually by double-clicking the icon whose name ends with
.sea.
This will result in a folder called sawmill, containing the Sawmill 4
application and this README file.
If you plan to use Sawmill in web-server mode (recommended), you can start
using Sawmill immediately by double-clicking the application. Sawmill will
establish itself as a web server on some port (8987 by default), and will
print a message describing how to access it from your web browser. You
will access it using an URL something like this:
http://my.hostname.com:8987/
If you plan to use Sawmill as an ACGI program, instead of using web-server
mode, then you need to move the Sawmill application to your web server's
CGI directory, and run it as a CGI program, something like this:
http://my.web.server.com/cgi-bin/sawmill4
To determine where your CGI directory is, and other details about how
Sawmill interacts with your web server, it may be useful to consult the Web
Servers section of the online documentation (see THE ONLINE DOCUMENTATION,
below).
In either case, when you access the URL from your web browser, Sawmill will
lead you through the startup process (which is simpler in web server mode
than in CGI mode).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE ONLINE DOCUMENTATION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
During installation, it may be useful to consult the online documentation.
Since you can't use your own copy of Sawmill's online documentation until
Sawmill is actually up and running, we've provided an Internet-accessible
copy on our web server:
http://www.flowerfire.com/cgi-bin/sawmill4?ho+docs-toc
