- This directory contains the 0.2 release of Compositional C++ (CC++).
- This is an Alpha release and as such is not yet in its final intended form.
- Please direct any relevant comments to cc++-bugs@cs.caltech.edu.
-
- See the MANIFEST file in this directory for brief descriptions of the
- various files in this directory.
-
- The files in this directory have been tarred and compressed. Each of the CC++
- files is available in two formats: *.tar.gz (compressed via GNU's gzip) and
- *.tar.Z (compressed via the standard UNIX 'compress' program). If you
- have gzip and gunzip, retrieve the *.tar.gz versions since gzip is a more
- efficient compressor and your download times will be less. Be sure to
- transfer all of these files using the binary mode of ftp (type 'bin' at the
- ftp prompt before issuing the 'get' or 'mget').
-
- A file ending in .tar.gz may be unpacked as follows:
-
- zcat file.tar.gz | tar -xvf -
-
- (where zcat is the zcat provided with the GNU gzip package and not the zcat
- that is standard on UNIX systems. The GNU zcat is backwards compatible with
- the standard UNIX zcat).
-
- A file ending in .tar.Z may be unpacked in the same way:
-
- zcat file.tar.Z | tar -xvf -
-
- (where zcat is the standard UNIX zcat _or_ the GNU zcat)
-
- Alternatively, unpack using:
-
- gunzip file.tar.gz
- tar -xvf file.tar
-
- or using the standard UNIX uncompress program:
-
- uncompress file.tar.Z
- tar -xvf file.tar
-
- The 'tar' program is standard on most all operating systems that can build
- CC++. The gzip, gunzip, and zcat programs are available from the /pub/gnu
- directory of prep.ai.mit.edu (via anonymous ftp). Gzip is also available
- in the ./CC++/gnu directory of this ftp server.
