To get Medley to run on a mac: Copy this directory to your system. Edit bin/medley to set MEDLEYDIR where you put it. (not sure if *fonts belong in fonts) You need a ~/.Xresources file with the line ldex.screen: 1408x832 or whatever value is in the geometry. The display size is an interaction between the .Xresources file and the -geometry parameter. The values are good for a Macbook Air, so the whole Lisp display is visible in the window. You can change it for a bigger display. Set up a directory for your lisp init (e.g. /Users/Yourname/lisp) The site greeting file LOCAL-INIT is in current/ Everything is relevant to the medley dir, and that is set in the command file so that it is exposed inside lisp. A function in the site greeting file (LOCAL-INIT) fixes meta key. Make sure that the site greeting file loads the patches (especially USERNAMEPATCH), otherwise you won't get your personal greet. Work on rebuilding: Ron has been able to recreate a make-init and build an INIT.DLINIT, and Nick has built an ldeinit. But it doesn't yet do what it is supposed to do. There is a brief description of what to do in the liscore/sunloadup that we got, but what looks like a more comprehensive description is in a Tedit file written in Japanese. We don't know how to get the text out to send to google translate. And even if I could get the text, I'm not sure that the old character encoding can be deciphered.
