- This is completely ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA.
- It is getting more complete.
- Is is mostly for James Noble's enjoyment.

- Instructions:
-
- a) Extract the tar file into a directory. It will extract
- into a subdirectory: 491
-
- b) Go into that directory.
- Do:
- cd 491
- setenv AATREE `pwd`
- Some strangeness with _RunScript, etc.. make a couple of absolute path names usefull.
-
- c) Load up a small snapshot from this
- NOTE: I've rebuilt my Self binary to accept a trailing '.' on input files.
- You may have to scan through some of the load and test scripts for '.'
- If you just want my binary, tell me.
-
- d) If your snapshot doesn't include my loadscript code (that searches a path) then
- read in loadscript.self:
- Self> 'loadscript' _RunScript
-
- e) Load up the code.
- Self> 'aa/aa-load' load
-
- f) Invoke a test, say:
- Self> 'test8' load
-
- g) Use the left mouse button to select an image. Selecting it
- again makes the selection bigger.
-
- h) If you click on the <- button, select something in one window,
- `pick' with the middle button, and then select and pick
- something in another window, you will perform a substitution.
- Substitution code isn't satifactory and is too trivial at this point.
-
- NOTES:
-
- i) icons are found by looking for $AATREE/bitmaps. This is done in
- navel/viewManager.self, and should probably be moved elsewhere as
- James' original comment suggests.
-
- ii) I've let self-mode.el loose on much of the code. Doing diff -b may
- be usefull, but I haven't tried that yet.
-
- iii) I put xBitmapMaker and eventWatcher from the Self distribution in
- newerX in order to make releasing easier. They are unmodified I believe.
