XPLAN INSTALLATION PROCEDURE (last updated December 12, 1992) (1) EXTRACT FILES FROM TAR FILE Assuming you have not yet extracted xplan from diskette, do the following: Insert diskette in drive, and type: tar xvf /dev/rfd0 rfd0 may not be the correct device for your machine --- check with vendor documentation At this point you should have the following directory structure: xplan/ bin/ src/ (2) BUILD XPLAN Move into the xplan/src directory cd xplan/src To build the program, type: make to create an executable version of xplan which will be placed in the bin directory. (3) SETTING UP YOUR WORK ENVIRONMENT Now you need to set up the help path, so the help text for xplan will be displayed when you use your help key. An example help path might be: setenv HELPPATH /usr/openwin/lib/help:/usr/openwin/lib/locale:/usr/lacey/xplan/src The one thing that is essential for xplan is that you have your help path pointing to the location of the .info files that are included in the src directory as distributed. If you plan on using xplan a lot you might want to add the bin directory to your PATH environment variable, too. (4) SUMMARY xplan is now installed, and if your PATH is set up correctly you should be able to run it by simply typing 'xplan' at the command prompt from any directory.
