TXL 6.0, (c) 1988-1992 Queen's University at Kingston
This directory contains release 6.0 of TXL, the Tree Transformation Language,
for Unix-like systems with an ANSI standard C compiler. These
instructions are for people who wish to retrieve TXL by mail.
Distribution of TXL has changed to fully portable ANSI C sources only,
which you must compile yourself on your system using the Makefile provided.
Binaries for specific machines are no longer provided since they are
too big, and original Turing Plus source is provided only on request.
The following files are available:
00README (ascii)
This file.
ABSTRACT (ascii)
A short description of what TXL is and what it is good for.
PROBLEMS (ascii)
A list of known installation problems and what to do about them.
NeXT and DEC workstation users should be sure to read this.
Contrib (directory)
Various unsupported TXL user contributions, in particular
TXL grammars for C++ V1.0 and Modula II.
TXL6.0.tar.Z (binary)
A compressed Unix tar image of the TXL 6.0 release for any
Unix-like system, with fully portable ANSI C source automatically
translated from the Turing Plus original.
TXL6.0.tar.Z.part?of6 (binary)
The compressed tar image of the TXL 6.0 release split into six
parts for sites where ftp is not reliable enough to fetch it
in one piece.
To set up TXL at your site, first fetch and read the ABSTRACT to see
if you are really interested. Send mail to
"archive-server@qucis.queensu.ca" containing the line
"send txl ABSTRACT"
If you decide you are interested, fetch TXL6.0.tar.Z. Send
mail to "archive-server@qucis.queensu.ca" containing the line
"send txl TXL6.0.tar.Z"). The file will be uuencoded, split
apart, and sent to you in pieces. Save each part to a file, and
remove the lines up to and including the first "-- cut here --"
in each part, and the lines following and including the last
"-- cut here --" in each part.
Then concatenate the parts and run them through uudecode, to
produce the file TXL6.0.tar.Z. For example, if you put the parts
into files with the names part01, part02, ... part06, use the
Unix command 'cat part?? | uudecode'
Use the Unix command 'zcat TXL6.0.tar.Z | tar xvf -'
to detar the TXL distribution and create the distribution directory
'./TXL6.0.export'.
Change directory to TXL6.0.export and read the README file
for further information on installing TXL.
