Notesfiles revison 1.x This directory contains a release of the Unix notesfile system as developed at the University of Illinois. The Notesfile concept was taken from PLATO (trademark CDC), a system developed for CAI applications. The correct version of this distribution can be found by looking for the string "$Header:" in the src directory. Most files (some documentation files don't) have a version number in them. The file "Revisions" in the src directory lists the version number of each file in that directory. If you can FTP this code from UIUC.ARPA, you will then be able to grab this particular file to find out what has changed and then selectively grab the modified files. For FTP users, the packed file lives in /pub/Notes.tar on "uiuc.arpa" and the unpacked tree is rooted at /pub/notes. The directories here contain: doc t/nroff source to the user manual man t/nroff sources used for man(1) src The source code for the system. Samples Some sample files that might make installation a little easier utility Some utility programs that I have found to be useful. They are, for the most part, undocumented. You'll have to read the code to figure out just what they mean. The code is distributed configured for a 4.2 BSD system with a standard directory structure. Anything else will likely require changs in the configuration. The best way to do this is to make a copy of the user manual: cd doc make man and read it. In particular, it tells you what you will have to change to fit the system to your local configuration. The important part is Appendix A which contains a checklist of what you might want to modify to install the package. Please answer the questions in the file "Answer.this" and return it to me (via computer or U.S. mail, it doesn't matter). I am supposed to keep track of who gets copies of the code, and I imagine not all of the copies will be distributed directly from me.
