Short: Documentation in PostScript format Author: Olaf `Olsen' Barthel Uploader: amk@cs.tu-berlin.de (Andreas M. Kirchwitz) Type: comm/term Introduction to the `term' v4.3 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 v4.3 since it worked rather well with v4.0, v4.1 and v4.2 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' v4.3 setup. Just download the files you need, explained below is what the archives contain. term-4.3-main.lha (618119 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-4.3-libs.lha archive. More documentation files can be found in the term-4.3-doc.lha archive. term-4.3-030.lha (615533 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-4.3-libs.lha archive. More documentation files can be found in the term-4.3-doc.lha archive. term-4.3-doc.lha (204401 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-4.3-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-4.3-extras.lha (268054 bytes) ---------------------------------- This archive contains extra material that is not absolutely necessary to run `term' v4.3, 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-4.3-locale.lha (246709 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-4.3-source.lha (688993 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-4.3-dvi.lha (218298 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-4.3-postscript.lha (264551 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' v4.3 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 more than one archive. 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 contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 628 269 57.1% 16-Jul-94 12:07:34 Documentation.info 481 217 54.8% 15-Jul-94 17:06:24 Documentation/Documentation.txt 468 227 51.4% 16-Jul-94 12:07:34 Documentation/Documentation.txt.info 628 270 57.0% 16-Jul-94 12:07:36 Documentation/PostScript.info 131 104 20.6% 15-Jul-94 15:25:10 Documentation/PostScript/PostScript.txt 468 227 51.4% 16-Jul-94 12:07:36 Documentation/PostScript/PostScript.txt.info 670505 210166 68.6% 20-Feb-95 14:23:24 Documentation/PostScript/term.ps 468 228 51.2% 16-Jul-94 12:07:38 Documentation/PostScript/term.ps.info 178982 52032 70.9% 20-Feb-95 14:33:34 Documentation/PostScript/termRexx.ps 468 227 51.4% 16-Jul-94 12:07:38 Documentation/PostScript/termRexx.ps.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 853227 263967 69.0% 22-Feb-95 20:44:56 10 files
