-
- The OO-Browser is actually part of an integrated tool framework that we have
- developed called InfoDock. InfoDock provides a modern user interface on top
- of Emacs, information management, and powerful software development tools,
- all in one package. Get it via anonymous ftp from host ftp.cs.uiuc.edu in
- the /pub/xemacs/infodock directory.
-
- It is a standard part of the forthcoming XEmacs 19.12 release. The Free
- Software Foundation also intends to add it to GNU Emacs.
-
- The OO-Browser is also available as a standalone package via anonymous ftp
- across the Internet. Do not send requests to have it mailed to you since it
- won't be. Instead have another party who has Internet access obtain it for
- the both of you.
-
- Here is how to obtain it:
-
- Move to a directory below which you want the 'oobr' directory to
- be created. Unpacking the OO-Browser archive will create this
- directory and place all of the files below it.
-
- cd <LOCAL-LISP-DIR>
-
- Ftp to ftp.cs.uiuc.edu (Internet Host ID = 128.174.252.1):
-
- prompt> ftp ftp.cs.uiuc.edu
-
- Login as 'anonymous' with your own <user-id>@<site-name> as a password.
-
- Name (ftp.cs.uiuc.edu): anonymous
- 331 Guest login ok, send EMAIL address (e.g. user@host.domain) as password.
- Password:
- 230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.
-
- Move to the directory where the OO-Browser is kept:
-
- ftp> cd /pub/xemacs/infodock
-
- Set your transfer mode to binary:
-
- ftp> bin
- 200 Type set to I.
-
- Turn off prompting:
-
- ftp> prompt
- Interactive mode off.
-
- Retrieve the OO-Browser archive and any diff-based patches:
-
- ftp> mget oobr*
-
- Close the ftp connection:
-
- ftp> quit
- 221 Goodbye.
-
- Unpack the tar archive with:
-
- gunzip oobr*gz; tar xvf oobr*tar
-
- Apply any patch/diff files with:
-
- cd oobr; patch < <patch-file>
-
- Read the "BR-README" file for installation directions and pointers to other
- documents.
