Welcome to the distribution of Edith Professional for X11. Please read the instructions in this file carefully, before you attempt to install the package. Please also read the file COPYING before using Edith Pro.
If you are installing from the MS-DOS formatted floppy disk that came with the manual, create a new directory, and extract the tar file on the floppy disk in the new directory. A new set of tar files will be created.
edith1.5x.common.tar.gzcontains the on-line manual pages, and predefined configuration files.
Then, you will need at least one of the following tar files, containing the executable binary for your system(s):
edith1.5x.linux-elf.tar.gz edith1.5x.sgi.tar.gz edith1.5x.sun.tar.gz
/usr/lib /usr/local /usr/local/lib /usr/local/contrib ~/libIf you choose a different directory, you will need to set the environment variable
EDITHSYSTEM
to the full path name of the
extracted directory edith
, henceforth called the edith
library directory.
Now copy the binary to a place where your shell can find it, or add an
entry to your PATH
variable.
Copy the manual page edith.1
into /usr/local/man/man1
, and
use makewhatis (1) to update /usr/local/man/whatis
.
You should now be able to run edith by typing edith
at your shell
prompt.
