Short: V4.4, Introduction to the distribution (what to download) Author: Olaf `Olsen' Barthel Uploader: amk@zikzak.snafu.de (Andreas M. Kirchwitz) Type: comm/term Introduction to the `term' v4.4 distribution ============================================ Since so many things went wrong with the `term' v3.4 distribution I decided to change the distribution scheme in v4.0. The same scheme has been applied to v4.4 since it worked rather well with v4.0, v4.1, v4.2 and v4.3 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' v4.4 setup. Just download the files you need, explained below is what the archives contain. term-main.lha (648647 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-libs.lha archive. More documentation files can be found in the term-doc.lha archive. term-030.lha (646708 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-libs.lha archive. More documentation files can be found in the term-doc.lha archive. term-doc.lha (207532 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-libs.lha (129187 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-extras.lha (268054 bytes) ------------------------------ This archive contains extra material that is not absolutely necessary to run `term' v4.4, but may still either be fun to have around or adds extra functionality. Included are revision 5 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-locale.lha (270180 bytes) ------------------------------ This archive contains the user interface text, translated into Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Spanish 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, Spanish 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-source.lha (815807 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-dvi.lha (222495 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-ps.lha (282898 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.
