Pod version 2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ POD is a prototype X-windows based directory user agent (DUA). It is intended for novice users, and, as such, has limited functionality. There are no facilities to add entries or to modify the RDNs of entries, though most other entry modifications are permitted. INFO ~~~~ The 'pod' directory has been to designed to fit directly into the 'isode' source tree. Specifically, in the directory 'others/quipu/uips'. POD requires X11r4 and the associated X toolkit and Athena widget libraries. Two Postscript documents are provided, `pod.man.ps' a user manual, and `pod.guide.ps' an introductory user guide. COMPILATION ~~~~~~~~~~~ To compile type ./make This should build 'xpod'. To test run , xpod -test which runs POD and tells it to read it's config files from the source directory. INSTALLATION ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Modify the Makefile to suit your system. The location of the 'app-defaults' directory (described by APPDEFDIR) might require modification. Installation of POD can be performed by typing ./make inst-all This will install 'pod' and any supporting files/directories, these being configuration directories, help directories and the system manual pages. if you want to install and clean up the source directory type ./make install Bug reports and comments. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ All bug reports and other requests to 'X500@brunel.ac.uk'. If there are any comments/criticisms you would like to make about POD, send them to the above address also as these can and (gasp!) often will be fused into the design for further DUAs (new designs are currently being implemented under X using the Athena widgets and for MS-DOS using Windows 286/386, with a planned version for X using the Motif widget set).
