Xbmbrowser can now display xpm files in glorious color ;) (or even in
monocrome - but it don't quit look as good) For full details of the changes
please look at the Changes3.0 file.
To be able to do this you will need to install the Xpm liibrary version 3.2g
(the latest at the time of writing this) - it is available on
export.lcs.mit.edu and mirror its sites. If you don't want to use the Xpm stuff
then you will have to comment out the 'DO_XPMS' defination line in the
Imakefile and all the XPM_LIB stuff.
FILES: README - this file.
Changes3.0 - details the changes since 2.3

xbmbrowser.menu - The default menu setup file.
KNOWEN PATCHES:
There are no known patches
THE COMMAND MENU.
In the file xbmbrowser.menu are instructions on how to set up the menu. This
file also contains the default menu setup. You should look at it to ensure that
it suits your setup. To change the location that the default file is placed you
have to do the same as for the help file (see below).
HELP FILE LOCATION.
You can change the deafult location at the program expects the help file to be.
to do this, if you are using the Imakefile then you must change the first line
in the Imakefile (the one starting with HELPFILE = -DHELPFILE=.....), this is
what tells the program where to look for the file, you will then also have to
change the line "InstallNonExecFile(xbmbrowser.help,$(LIBDIR))" so that the
second parameter is where to put the file (the directory only - without the
file name).
If However you are using the Makefile.std (standard makefile) you will have to
change the #define HELPFILE line in xbmbrowser.h to the directory that you put
the help file into. (You will have to manually move it there).
If you don't wish to be able to see xpms then you will have to edit the
Imakefile or the Makefile.std and comment the DO_XPMS declaration and the -lXpm
library include.
Installation:
With Imake:
type:
xmkmf
make
make install
make instal.man
With normal make:
type:
mv Makefile.std Makefile
make
then you will have to manually move the executable, the help file and man
page to where you want to put them.
For information on how to use xbmbrowser, look at xbmbrowser.help, or press the
[Help] button when it is running.
If you wish to change the program, then please feel free. However please
leave the copyright notices unchanged but add one detailing your changes, you
should also not just increment the version number, but add something unique
to it (like your name or something).
If you have any problems, then please feel free to drop me a line, my E-mail
