========================================================================== xgetftp v2.0 ========================================================================== I. Author: Salim Alam University of Colorado, Boulder salim@cs.colorado.edu (NOTE: I will be graduating soon and will be probably be unable to work on updating xgetftp after this version. Please do not send me email regarding xgetftp at the above address after May 3rd, 1993, unless it is a bug report for a serious bug. Thanks. -Salim) ========================================================================== II. Distribution Policy: This program is copyright Salim Alam, 1993.

Building and Installing xgetftp: a. Edit the file "config.h" to your satisfaction. b. Type "xmkmf -a" to build the makefile. If this doesnt work for some reason, you can try and use the Makefile included, called Makefile.alt. c. Type "make" to build the program. d. Type "make install" to install it. e. Type "make install.man" to install the man page. f. Type "make clean" to clean up. ========================================================================== IV. Running xgetftp: Because of the persistent cache, xgetftp is in some ways unusual. Please MAKE SURE that you carefully read the man page, especially the parts pertaining to the cache. When first starting xgetftp, you will get a warning saying that the ".xgetftprc" file was not found. To create this file, simply select "Set Preferences" from the File menu and click on "Save". When first starting xgetftp, if your window doesn't come up correctly sized, add the following line to your .Xresources file: Xgetftp*geometry: 800x600 (This problem seems to occur on SGI machines.) ========================================================================== V. Acknowledgments: The following people helped beta-test this program. Also, the Imakefile and formatting of the man page were done by Rob. Thanks guys! Robert G Henderson <robh@eclipse.cs.colorado.edu> Christopher Joslyn <joslyn@spot.Colorado.EDU> Rich Neves <neves@cs.colorado.edu> The code to view compressed files was provided by: Peter Brandstrom <d91-pbr@nada.kth.se> and the patch to add handling of IP numbers was contributed by: Mr A Lunn <csb029@cent1.lancs.ac.uk> I would also like to thank all the people on the net who sent suggestions and initial bug reports.
