The following files should be present in this distribution:
aaa_read.me --- This file
most.c main.c buffer.c file.c window.c display.c sysdep.c keym.c
search.c help.c edit.c dir.c cmd.c line.c --- C files
most.h buffer.h file.h window.h display.h sysdep.h keym.h
search.h externs.h --- Header files
makefile.dist -- makefile for unix systems
make.com -- `makefile' for VMS
rtl.opt -- options file for VMS linking
changes.txt -- summary of recent changes
most.doc -- main documentation for most
most.1 -- nroff source
To make MOST requires an ansi compatable c compiler. It compiles fine with
`cc most.c' on Ultrix and VMS, and `CC +V most.c -o most' on a sun4.
Other than this, I do not know what else to say.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
On VMS, type `@make' at the DCL prompt to build most. If you are using GCC,
type `@make GCC'. On unix, `make' should work--- if not, the makefile may
need edited.
Then to run most, just type `most "filename"' (eg. `most login.com'). On
VMS, this requires that MOST first be installed as a foreign command. This
means that you must first type:
$ most :== device:[dir.containing.most]most.exe
MOST has online help which is invoked with the `h' key. To get online help
functioning properly, the logical name `MOST_HELP' must be defined to point
the correct doc file. To do this, put the following in your .cshrc (or equiv)
file:
setenv MOST_HELP <directory of most.help>most.doc
and if you are on VMS put
$ define/nolog MOST_HELP <directory of most.help>MOST.DOC
For example, I have
setenv MOST_HELP /u2/davis/most/most.doc
in my .cshrc on a unix host.
The other logical that most reads is `MOST_SWITCHES'. This allows the user to
run MOST with whatever switches are defined by this logical. I use most with
the -s and -c switches so I have
setenv MOST_SWITCHES "-sca"
in my .cshrc file for unix and
$ define/nolog MOST_SWITCHES "-sca"
in my login.com file on VMS.
I suggest that you first build MOST then view the doc file using MOST (`most
most.doc'). If you need help, hit the `h' key from within MOST. The `h' key
simply locates the part of the doc file that describes what the various key
do. One person has suggested that I use a one page help screen. However, I
chose not to do this. Most has very few key sequences to memorize and the one
page help screen will quickly outgrow it usefulness.
