Xd - X-Directory ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ Xd is a demonstration DUA that runs, as it's name suggests, under X-Windows. UNPACKING ~~~~~~~~~ xd.tar.Z is a compressed tar file containing the xd src tree. If you want to build xd as part of the ISODE tree, change directory to others/quipu/uips before unpacking the archive. Unpack using: gnutar -x -f xd.tar.Z -z or uncompress -c xd.tar.Z | tar xfv - It should create a diretory called xd containing the following files: Makefile README Xd.ad calls.c conf_read.y dirtitle.h filt.c filt.h main.c sequence.c sequence.h symtab.c symtab.h Xd.c make make_alone Xd.1c Xd/duaconfig/filterTypes: Type_dept Type_org Type_person Type_place xd/duaconfig: readTypes typeDefaults Xd/helpdir: xdlist.help xdlookback.help xdtype.help xd.help xdlistsel.help xdsearch.help xdwiden.help COMPILATION ~~~~~~~~~~~ To compile, check the Makefile and make any alterations necessary for your site. The Makefile assumes X is installed in the normal place (/usr/lib/). If xd is being compiled as part of ISODE then the ./make script should build the interface correctly. If it is being built separately then ./make_alone should be used. INSTALLATION ~~~~~~~~~~~~ `./make install' should install in the standard places. It should be possible to run xxd from the xd directory. NOTE: The application-defaults file is installed into /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults if this is not normal for your system, you must change the Makefile CONFIGURATION ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Xd.ad default resources must be loaded in order that xd knows where to position all its objects. This can be achieved by typing: xrdb -load Xd.ad To avoid doing this at the beginning of every X session the defaults file Xd.ad can be copied into the application defaults directory for X under the name Xd.
