- DOCUMENTATION
-
- The documentation for this editor is contained in the "manual" directory
- on the first diskette. The file "emacs.dxz" contains the documentation
- printer-ready, compressed, format. The file "emacs.txz" contains a tutorial
- in the same format. The original release notes, as acquired from UUCP.NET,
- can be found in the "readme" file in the tools directory.
-
- BUILDING THE EXECUTABLE
-
- The source files in the directory "comprsd" on the second diskette
- are in compressed format. To return each to printable form, enter the
- following:
-
- compress -d file.cxz
-
- The result of the command will be a file called "file.c". The files with the
- suffix ".bxz" are batch files which must be renamed such that the suffix is
- ".bat". The file "load.lxz" must be moved into "load.lst" after
- de-compressing.
-
- The batch files will produce an executable using MSC 5.0. Regardless of
- the compiler, all parameterization is controlled through "estruct.h". The
- parameters are currently set for a PC-DOS machine. For MS-DOS machines
- the ANSI, rather than the IBMPC, define should be used. For more details
- on constructing the executable see the manual on the other diskette.
-
- The source and documentation for the compress utility can be obtained
- from PC-SIG on another diskette. This utility is based on the LEM-ZIV
- algorithm and so it only works on text files. It is faster, and compress
- files smaller, than ARC.
