Files In The Binary Distribution

The following list describes the files distributed in the PENG binary archives. It also contains the installation instructions by simply describing what to do with each file.

`README'

A text file with the most important information about PENG. Read it before starting PENG. Most of the information is also contained in the PENG info documentation.

`COPYING.LIB'

The license applies to some of the libraries used in PENG. This license does not apply to PENG itself! See the chapter about legal stuff.

`peng' (Unix, terminal)

`xpeng' (Unix, X11)

`peng.exe' (DJGPP)

The program executable. You can install it anywhere you want (provided you or your `PATH' will find it again ;-).

`peng.info'

The PENG online documentation. Copy it into one of your info directories, i.e., `/usr/info' or `/usr/local/info' or a directory named in your `INFOPATH' (or `INFODIR') environment variable.

`latexmsg'

A shell script to convert `LaTeX' messages to GNU message format. This is used by the built-in `Compile/Make' and `Compile/Run' tools for `LaTeX' files in order to invoke `LaTeX' from PENG just like `GPC' and `GCC'. If you want to use it, just copy it to somewhere in your `PATH'. Please note that this script is distributed under a different license than PENG. This file is not part of PENG, and may be modified and distributed separately.

`terminfo-linux.tar.gz' (Unix terminal versions only)

This is a patch to enable PENG and other ncurses programs to make use of the ability of Linux 2.2 and newer kernels to produce a block cursor when needed (e.g. for PENG's overwrite mode). Though PENG can simulate a block cursor with graphic characters (see `Options/Environment/Simulate block cursor'), a real block cursor looks better, of course. The present patch can be installed without recompiling anything, just by copying some files into place. More details can be found in the `README' file included in this archive. The patch will not do any harm on older kernels. Please note that not only on Linux machines it is useful to install the patch. Installing them on any other machine will allow users who telnet in from a Linux console to profit from the block cursor capability. Besides, some Unix systems have installed older Linux terminfo entries or none at all, so it's a good thing, anyway, to give them a current version. The patch is included in the terminfo database of ncurses 5.0. However, since ncurses 5.0 was released quite recently (1999-10-23), it can't be expected to be present on many systems in the near future, so I include the patch with PENG. The new terminfo files do not require ncurses 5.0, so you can install them on a system with older ncurses if you don't want to upgrade ncurses. This file is not part of PENG, and may be modified and distributed separately.
