Xtend 1.1, Copyright (C) 1998 David M. Shaw <dshaw@jabberwocky.com>

Installing Xtend:

1. Edit the Makefile.  You can probably leave BINDIR and MANDIR as the
   default (which is to put the binary in /usr/local/bin and the man page
   in /usr/local/man/man1).  Then uncomment ONE of the operating system
   sections to get the specifics for that operating system.

   Since this program can use a serial port it needs a place to put the
   lock file to let other programs know to leave the serial port alone.

   On some (most, actually) systems the program needs to be setuid or
   setgid to someone who can write to the lock directory.  (This is
   usually user or group "uucp".)

   If your particular OS isn't there, then use the "Other" section.  (I
   would appreciate a mail letting me know the settings you use for your
   OS so I can put them in the next version!)

2. Type "make" (or "gmake", or whatever your platform uses) 

3. su to root and type "make install" (or "gmake install") as root.  This
   takes care of the setuid or setgidness and will also place the xtend
   binary and man page in the correct place (usually in 
   /usr/local/{bin,man}). 

4. Copy the "sample-xtendrc" file to your home directory and name it
   ".xtendrc".  Edit the file to suit yourself - it's heavily commented. 

If you have any bug reports or other problems (I am particularly
interested in porting issues), feel free to mail me at
dshaw@jabberwocky.com.

Enjoy!

David
