This directory contains Release 1 of the ABC distribution.
Set ftp's file transfer type to "binary" for all versions except
the Macintosh hqx file.
abcversions
documents the different releases.
abc.intro
gives a quick overview of ABC and its implementations,
and gives a few examples of ABC programs.
abc.unix.tar.Z
This is the source for the Unix version.
Put it in the parent-directory where you want the ABC source to reside,
(e.g. /usr/local/src), and type:
zcat abc.unix.tar.Z | tar xf -
(sometimes you need to type 'xof' instead of 'xf' to make yourself the
owner of the files extracted from the tar-file; see 'man 1 tar').
All files will then be unpacked in the subdirectory abc
(e.g. /usr/local/src/abc/).
About 1.4 megabytes will be needed for the source.
You will need 2.5 megabytes in total to compile and install the system.
First read abc/README to find out how to install the ABC system.
abc-redhat-linux.tar
These are Redhat binaries compiled under Redhat Linux 7.3.
Put the executable files abc and abckeys somewhere in your path.
Put the library files abc.msg and abc.hlp in one of the following
places:
1. In the directory where you are when you start abc up (not
usually very useful).
2. The location where your abc source programs are
stored, namely $HOME/abc/
3. /usr/lib/abc/
abc-pc.zip
This is the version for the PC, under any version of Windows.
Read abc.hlp to find out how to use ABC on a PC.
The extracted files total about 226K disk space.
abcst.arc
This is the version for the Atari ST.
To extract the six files abc.tos abckeys.tos, abc.hlp, abc.msg,
abcintro.doc and readme.st type:
arc x abcst.arc
Read readme.st, abc.hlp and abcintro.doc to learn
how to use ABC on the ST.
The extracted files total about 373 K disk space.
abc.mac.sit.hqx
This is the version for the Apple Macintosh.
It is a binhexed StuffIt archive.
First choose "Decode Binhex File ..." from StuffIt's Other menu.
(Or BinHex itself if you have an old version of StuffIt).
Then "Open Archive ..." abc.mac.sit from the File menu to extract
the four files MacABC, MacABC.help, MacABC.doc and ABCintro.doc.
The latter two are MacWrite documents that tell you how to use MacABC.
The extracted files comprise about 333 K.
