G'day, I pointed a novice user at the Linux FAQ entry on installing GNU software, and at the COW .tar.gz file, and they had considerable difficulties. So I've made some minor changes to the packaging of COW, to bring it into line with other source packages. a) the .tar.gz created by "make dist" will now unpack into a version specific subdirectory, b) a file INSTALL has been created, giving generic installation instructions, c) a file README has been created, which points at INSTALL, section 8.0 of the COW.DOC file, and other documentation files. d) a file ChangeLog has been creation, which will help programmers who use Emacs as their preferred editor. Other editors have functions to add ChangeLog entries as well. I haven't yet figured out why "make install" does not work ... it says "install: too few arguments". -- James Cameron mailto:quozl at us.netrek.org http://quozl.netrek.org/
