- Once you have transferred the compressed file archive SignalEditor.tar.Z to
- your machine, the first step in installing SE is to unpack the file package.
- You do this by typing the shell command line:
-
- zcat SignalEditor.tar.Z | tar xvf -
-
- This command line uses the Unix zcat program to uncompress the file package and
- write it to its standard output. The "|" sign pipes this output to the tar
- program. The tar program extracts the files from the tar archive. (See the
- Unix documentation for more on zcat and tar, if necessary.) This creates a
- directory called SE. In this directory you will find a subdirectory for the
- manual, the Signal Editor application directory, and two text files: a README,
- and an INSTALL note.

- Where to Install the SE Application
-
- In order for the NeXT Workspace Manager to properly handle signal documents,
- that is, to open them and launch SE when you double-click on them, you must
- install SE in one of the directories where the Workspace Manager looks for
- applications. The Apps directory in your home directory is one such place.
