1 | Pod version 2 |
| 2 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| 3 | ||
| 4 | POD is a prototype X-windows based directory user agent (DUA). | |
| 5 | It is intended for novice users, and, as such, has limited | |
| 6 | functionality. There are no facilities to add entries or to modify | |
| 7 | the RDNs of entries, though most other entry modifications are | |
| 8 | permitted. | |
| 9 | ||
| 10 | INFO | |
| 11 | ~~~~ | |
| 12 | The 'pod' directory has been to designed to fit directly into the | |
| 13 | 'isode' source tree. Specifically, in the directory | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | 'others/quipu/uips'. | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | POD requires X11r4 and the associated X toolkit and Athena | |
| 18 | widget libraries. | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | Two Postscript documents are provided, `pod.man.ps' a user manual, | |
| 21 | and `pod.guide.ps' an introductory user guide. | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | COMPILATION | |
| 24 | ~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| 25 | To compile type | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | ./make | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | This should build 'xpod'. To test run , | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | xpod -test | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | which runs POD and tells it to read it's config files from the | |
| 34 | source directory. | |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | INSTALLATION | |
| 37 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| 38 | Modify the Makefile to suit your system. The location of the | |
| 39 | 'app-defaults' directory (described by APPDEFDIR) might require | |
| 40 | modification. Installation of POD can be performed by typing | |
| 41 | ||
| 42 | ./make inst-all | |
| 43 | ||
| 44 | This will install 'pod' and any supporting files/directories, these | |
| 45 | being configuration directories, help directories and the system | |
| 46 | manual pages. | |
| 47 | ||
| 48 | if you want to install and clean up the source directory type | |
| 49 | ||
| 50 | ./make install | |
| 51 | ||
| 52 | Bug reports and comments. | |
| 53 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| 54 | ||
| 55 | All bug reports and other requests to 'X500@brunel.ac.uk'. | |
| 56 | If there are any comments/criticisms you would like to make | |
| 57 | about POD, send them to the above address also as these can | |
| 58 | and (gasp!) often will be fused into the design for further DUAs | |
| 59 | (new designs are currently being implemented under X using the | |
| 60 | Athena widgets and for MS-DOS using Windows 286/386, with | |
| 61 | a planned version for X using the Motif widget set). | |
