- This is an online rolodex program that has been used here at Thinking
- Machines Corporation for quite a while. Lot's of people find it very
- useful and I have never had any problems with it.
-
- This code has only been tested on BSD42 on a VAX. It definitely will
- not work under System V, although I have included a "sys5.h" to start
- things going.
-
- Instructions on how to install:
-
- 1. This program should have come in 3 parts. Choose an empty directory,
- and unshar them all. Check the Makefile, you may want to select
- either TERMCAP or TERMINFO.
-
- 2. Pick a library subdirectory where the help and menu files will go.
- (Say /usr/local/lib/rolo). Edit the Makefile and change the definition
- of ROLOLIB to that path. (Do not leave it as is!).
-
- 3. Create the directory and move all the files in helplib to this directory.
-
- 4. Pick the appropriate place in your manual hierarchy where the man
- page should go. Adjust MS and MAN in the Makefile accordingly.
-
- 5. Pick the appropriate place where the executable should live. Adjust
- BIN in the Makefile accordingly.
-
- 6. Edit the manual page (ctools.1) if you wish to change the FILES
- section to point to the directories you selected.
-
- 7. Type 'make man' and read the manual page.
-
- 8. Type 'make'.
-
- 9. Type 'rolo' and try out the rolodex program!
-
- 10. Type 'make install'.
-
- 11. Type 'make clean'.
-
-
- The files ctools.c and ctools.h in the toolsdir directory are useful in
- their own right, as they contain many little useful string manipulation
- routines and other goodies. You might wish to install it as <ctools.h>
- and -lctools as is done here.
