- DOCUMENTATION
-
- Documentation for MHonArc is located in the doc/ directory.
-
- html:
- The main documentation for MHonArc is in multiple HTML files. Load
- mhonarc.html in the doc/ directory into your Web browser to get
- started. The HTML is generated from the Frame source via
- MifMucker,
- <URL:http://www.oac.uci.edu/indiv/ehood/mifmucker.doc.html>.
-
- postscript:
- The postscript file, mhonarc.ps, is available if a hardcopy version
- of the documentation is required. Since the cross-references used
- are designed for HTML reading (ie they get converted into
- hyperlinks), they may not be as useful for hardcopy reading.
- The postscript is generated from the Frame source.
-
- ascii:
- A plain text version of the documentation is in the single file
- mhonarc.txt. This file is created by converting the HTML files
- into ascii. See the Makefile in doc/ for how the conversion is
- done.
-
- manpage:
- For Unix users, there is a manpage in doc/ called mhonarc.1. It
- is not very fancy. It is automatically generated like the
- ascii version. The manpage does not follow the standard manpage
- style and is not intended to be printed via troff.
-
- The installation process does not deal with the manpage or postscript
- file. If you want to install them, you must do it manually. The
- installation process does allow you to install the HTML and ASCII
- documentation in a location of your choice.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- INSTALLATION
-
- The documentation contains a section on installing MHonArc for Unix
- and MS-DOS machines. I recommend reading the Installation section as
- it contains more information then what is included here.
-
- Brief Instructions
-
- Interactive Installing:
-
- Run the following command:
-
- perl install.me
-
- The installation program will ask you a series of questions on
- where the Perl executable is and where to put MHonArc files.
- Just hit <CR> to accept the default values listed in ()'s.
-
- Batch Install:
-
- 1. Edit the file 'install.cfg'.
- 2. Run the following command:
-
- perl install.me install.cfg
-
- The installation program will output information on what
- is being installed and where it is being installed.
-
- Notes on Installation Program
-
- o The '#!' line in the installed mhonarc program is set to
- point to the Perl executable specified in the installation
- process (this has no meaning under MS-DOS).
-
- o The installed mhonarc program has code added so it will find
- its default libraries specified in the installation program.
- I.e. The install lib directory is added to mhonarc's search
- path so it will find its libraries.
-
- o If you specify paths that do not exist, the install.me
- program will create the path ONLY if running in interactive
- more. If using a configuration file (eg: install.cfg) you
- must check that all paths specified exist.
-
