If you are upgrading from a previous version of cooledit,
don't forget to delete your old man pages. The file
    ~/cedit/.cooledit.ini
is incompatable as of version 2.3.0 and should also be removed.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
-----------------------

To compile and install Cooledit will take less than 7MB. About 
1MB will remain after you have deleted the source tree (ix86 though).
If you're superuser and feel lazy, just un-tar the package and type
    ./0install-quick
or
    sh ./0install-quick
in the top source directory. Otherwise read on.


SUMMARY:
--------

(O) un-tar package in /usr/src
(1) ./configure
(2) make
(3) make install
(4) add the command `coolicon -M <mail-file>' to one of the X startup scripts


DETAILS:
--------

You may compile the package as a user, but you need to be root to
do a system install. You do, of course, have to have the X Window System
working on your machine.
    Copy the file cooledit-3.6.2.tar.gz to the directory you would
like to compile in, preferably '/usr/local/src' or '/usr/src', and
then change to that directory. (You can also compile in your home
directory.)


Then type,
    tar -xvzf cooledit-3.6.2.tar.gz
or
    gzip -cd cooledit-3.6.2.tar.gz | tar xvf -
(whichever works).

Then type,
    cd cooledit-3.6.2

((
   if you have a patch file you can now type
      gzip -cd patch_file_name | patch -p1
   to upgrade from a previous version.
   In this case it is unlikely that you will have to do 
       make clean
   just do
       make; make install
))

You can then configure the package by just typing,
    ./configure
However if you would like to set compiler optimisations, for a
smaller binary, type,
    CFLAGS=-O ./configure
or,
    setenv CFLAGS -O
    ./configure
whichever works on your shell. (Use -O2 instead of
-O if your compiler supports this. If you have gcc use
CFLAGS='-O2 -s -Wall -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer' ./configure)

Finally type
    make
to compile (which will take ages). Then type
    make install
to install, or (for a smaller binary),
    make install-strip


Finally, coolicon must be envoked with your window manager. Coolicon
can co-exist with whatever window manager you are using. You might
put the command
    coolicon -M <mail-file> &
in you .xinitrc file in your home directory or in the system wide xinit
file (see the xinit man page and the coolicon man page for more details).

Done.

I have personally tested cooledit on a few systems, and it has been
used by others on many systems. It will certainly work on ANSI
compatible systems. Please email me if it doesn't, as I'd like to
support all the Unix clones that I can.

The cooledit installation consists of the following files:
    cooledit
    smalledit
    coolman
    cooledit.static
    smalledit.static
    coolman.static
    cooledit.1
    smalledit.1
    coolman.1
    libCw.so.1.0.0
    libCw.a
as well as the language files in /usr(/local)/share/locale
You can remove the entire source after you have finished
reading the file COPYING, which contains the licensing
agreement. The FAQ though might be useful, as well as the file
INTERNATIONAL. Other files beginning with capital letters provide
further documentation and may be copied to a directory,
/usr/local/lib/cooledit. As of version 3.3.3, cooledit is
dynamically linked. This means that Coolwidgets (libCw) is
installed as a proper shared library. You may not like this
arrangement and prefer the statically linked version. In this
case, overwrite the file cooledit with cooledit.static.
