| 3 | This directory contains the sources of YAP, Yet Another Pager.
 | 
|---|
| 4 | It can do most of the things more(1) can, and much much more.
 | 
|---|
| 5 | 
 | 
|---|
| 6 | Yap has been tested on the following systems:
 | 
|---|
| 7 | 
 | 
|---|
| 8 | - DEC PDP 11/44 running V7
 | 
|---|
| 9 | - DEC PDP 11/60 running V7
 | 
|---|
| 10 | - DEC VAX 11/750 running 4.1BSD
 | 
|---|
| 11 | - IBM PC/XT running PC/IX
 | 
|---|
| 12 | - NCR Minitower running a System V
 | 
|---|
| 13 | - Several 68k systems
 | 
|---|
| 14 | - SUN-3 and SUN-4
 | 
|---|
| 15 | 
 | 
|---|
| 16 | On other systems, you might have some problems getting yap to run, but then
 | 
|---|
| 17 | again, you might not. You can always ask me for help, and maybe even get it.
 | 
|---|
| 18 | If you make any changes, please
 | 
|---|
| 19 |  - tell me about them
 | 
|---|
| 20 |  - mark them clearly, preferably through conditional compilation.
 | 
|---|
| 21 | 
 | 
|---|
| 22 | What you need to run yap:
 | 
|---|
| 23 | 
 | 
|---|
| 24 | - you need termlib/termcap.
 | 
|---|
| 25 |   It probably is'nt too hard to adapt yap to terminfo.
 | 
|---|
| 26 |   It might even work unchanged, but I don't know about that. We don't have
 | 
|---|
| 27 |   terminfo or the system V curses.
 | 
|---|
| 28 |   If you adapt yap to terminfo, I would sure like to get the changes you made,
 | 
|---|
| 29 |   so please send them to me (email address at the bottom of this note);
 | 
|---|
| 30 | - you also need regex(III) (Either Berkeley style or USG will do).
 | 
|---|
| 31 |   If you do not have it, you should define NOREGEX, which gives you
 | 
|---|
| 32 |   simpleminded searches without meta-characters.
 | 
|---|
| 33 | 
 | 
|---|
| 34 | How to install yap:
 | 
|---|
| 35 | 
 | 
|---|
| 36 | - edit Makefile (easy)
 | 
|---|
| 37 | - edit in_all.h (easy)
 | 
|---|
| 38 | - type "make install"
