Introduction to the `term' v4.2 distribution
============================================
Since so many things went wrong with the `term' v3.4 distribution I have
decided to change the distribution scheme in v4.0. The same scheme has been
applied to v4.2 since it worked rather well with v4.0 and v4.1 and I did
not want to rewrite all the script files which were used to put the v4.0
and v4.1 distributions together. There are now nine distribution archives
whose contents are listed below. For the most important files PGP
signatures are provided to let you verify their integrities.
You do not need to download all the nine archives in order to get a
working `term' v4.2 setup. Just download the files you need, explained
below is what the archives contain.
term-4.2-Main.lha (547138 bytes)
--------------------------------
This archive contains all you need to run `term' on your Amiga. Only the
basic set of libraries and documentation files are included. If you wish to
use other external transfer transfer protocol libraries than
xprzmodem.library or need to use special external terminal emulation
libraries you should download the term-4.2-Libs.lha archive. More
documentation files can be found in the term-4.2-Doc.lha archive.
term-4.2-030.lha (545884 bytes)
-------------------------------
This archive contains all you need to run `term' on an Amiga equipped with
an MC68020/030/040/060 CPU. Only the basic set of libraries and
documentation files are included. If you wish to use other external
transfer transfer protocol libraries than xprzmodem.library or need to use
special external terminal emulation libraries you should download the
term-4.2-Libs.lha archive. More documentation files can be found in the
term-4.2-Doc.lha archive.
term-4.2-Doc.lha (184949 bytes)
-------------------------------
This archive contains the main program documentation in AmigaGuide format
for browsing with MultiView and the like and additional documentation files
for the file transfer and terminal emulation libraries.
term-4.2-Libs.lha (128528 bytes)
--------------------------------
This archive contains special support libraries which enhance the
functionality of `term'. These are terminal emulation libraries and file
transfer protocol libraries. It definitely is a good idea to download this
archive if you don't have these libraries around already.
term-4.2-Extras.lha (207601 bytes)
----------------------------------
This archive contains extra material that is not absolutely necessary to
run `term' v4.2, but may still either be fun to have around or adds extra
functionality. Included are revision 2 of the HydraCom Amiga port which can
be used with `term' (note: HydraCom is a bidirectional file transfer
protocol similar to bimodem), sample ARexx scripts, character translation
tables and sound files.
term-4.2-Locale.lha (215808 bytes)
---------------------------------
This archive contains the user interface text, translated into Danish,
Dutch, French, German, Italian and Swedish and a blank catalog translation
table file to fill in. Download this file only if you want `term' to use
Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian or Swedish user interface text
(Workbench 2.1 or Workbench 3.x required) or wish to translate the user
interface text into your preferred language.
term-4.2-Source.lha (685265 bytes)
----------------------------------
This archive contains the source code to the entire `term' project,
including the new user interface support library. This is by far the
largest archive in the distribution, so think carefully if you really need
to download it.
term-4.2-DVI.lha (190781 bytes)
-------------------------------
This archive contains the main program documentation in TeX DVI format,
suitable for printing on a TeX setup. Download this archive only if you
wish to create a printed manual.
term-4.2-PostScript.lha (232661 bytes)
--------------------------------------
This archive contains the main program documentation in PostScript format,
suitable for printing on a PostScript printer. Download this archive only
if you wish to create a printed manual.
Installation
============
`term' v4.2 is very easily installed; just unpack all the archive files
into the same directory. Ignore any messages about files getting
overwritten since some files are found in several archives. When unpacked
you will have the complete distribution sitting on your hard disk drive
just as it looks like in my original distribution tree. You do not need to
copy the libraries, fonts or catalog files to the corresponding system
directories, `term' will find the files contained therein all on its own.
Archive listings
================
Below is the output produced by the LhA program when told to list the
contents of all the distribution archives. As experience shows, the archive
contents may grow since more or less sensible .displayme files will get
added. The core of the archives should stay intact, however. Don't trust
distribution archives of which some contents are missing.
Some smart guy unpacked the v4.0 distribution onto nine disks and
recompressed the contents using the DMS program which both made the
distribution files larger and more difficult to review. In addition to that
all occurences of the ".lha" suffix in the "term-4.0-Roadmap.txt" file were
replaced by ".dms" to make things look more `official'. So, if ".lha" reads
".dms" in this document you can be sure that this has happened again. I
*never* distribute `term' in the form of DMS archives.
