- [Version 1.4.1]
-
- This is the minimal set of things you need to build an Archie client
- that takes advantage of the Prospero system. It is derived from the
- 4.2beta version of Prospero, currently available as the file prospero.tar.Z
- on the host cs.washington.edu. See the README in here for the full scoop.
-
- * To make the client under Unix:
- * edit the Makefile, changing CC, OPTIONS, LDFLAGS, and RM if
- necessary (odds are you won't have to do this..see below)
- * edit the DEFINEs as necessary
- * if archie.sura.net isn't "close" to you netwise, please edit
- ARCHIE in the Makefile appropriately. This is particularly important
- if you're not in the US. You don't need to touch archie.h anymore.
- * type `make'
-
- I've tried to make this as portable as possible. I'd encourage you
- to try doing a "make" without any changes to the Makefile, and see how
- it goes. If it pukes, and you have to define something, please drop
- me a line---my goal is for anybody to just type "make" and not have to
- worry about things like what functions their system supports.
-
- * To make the client under VMS, just type @MAKE and it'll ask you
- which of the available Archie servers is closest. That's it!
- The file `archie.hlp' is a VMS help file which can be added to your
- system (or private) help library.
-
- * To make the client under MSDOS or OS/2:
- * with FTP Software's PC/TCP for MSDOS (version 2.1 or higher) and
- OS/2 (version 1.1 and higher), use makefile.os2 or makefile.dos
- * with CUTCP (NCSA telnet), use makefile.cut
