	asWedit ver. 1.1.1 - Installation notes
	=======================================


Quick start
-----------

To run the program without installing it, go to the distribution
directory and type:

	asWedit -helpdir .  [file_name]

(the file_name is optional).

The above runs the program in the default HTML 3 mode. To try  the other 
two available modes (HTML 2 and the plain text) type:

	asWedit -helpdir . -html2

	asWedit -helpdir . -nohtml



Simple installation
-------------------

After unpacking the distribution just copy the program "asWedit"
into your (or system) 'bin' directory and copy the supplied help file
into your 'lib' directory (the default is "/usr/local/lib").

If you use the default 'lib' directory and you don't want to customize
asWedit by modifying its X-resources, then that's the end of installation
for you (note that you will be able to make some on-line customization
of the program, for example modify the toolbar contents).


Non-default 'lib' directory
---------------------------
If your 'lib' directory is different from the default one you have to
tell the program where to look for its help file. It might be done
in several ways. The two most common are: use the command line '-helpdir'
option as in the 'Quick start' section above, or specify asWedit resource
called 'helpDir' in your .Xdefaults file, for example:

  asWedit*helpDir:	/usr/local/share/lib

Finally you have to copy the "asWedit.hlp" help file into your 'lib' 
directory, for example:
	cp asWedit.hlp /usr/local/share/lib


Installation of the application defaults file
---------------------------------------------
Most of asWedit resources are defined in the supplied "AsWedit" resource file.
Note that all of them are built-in to the program so it is NOT necessary
to install this file. But if you would like to customize the program
in a way that is not possible during run-time (for example: define local
printers, change the colors, define some user tools or commands)
then you can do that by modifying the file or your personal AsWedit
resource file.

To install the "AsWedit" application defaults file copy it to your system
'app-defs' directory. If you use the default X11 setup do the following:
	cp AsWedit  /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults
		    ^^^ your app-defs dir ^^^

If you do install the "AsWedit" file specify the 'helpDir' directory there 
(if necessary). Simply find, uncomment and edit the resource.

Note that AsWedit resources are grouped according to the probability of
them being changed by a user. For details see the AsWedit file and
the on-line help.



NOTES:
(1) To install in system-wide directories you have to become the system
    administrator (root).

(2) If you would like to use Emacs bindings you have to obtain the file:
	emacs-mode-asWedit-1.1.1.tar.Z
    and install "AsWedit_em" resource and "asWedit_em.hlp" help files.
    To run in Emacs mode use the "-emacs" command line option.
