If you are installing Shore for the first time and you just copied the tar files with FTP and followed the instructions in the README file there, you will already have finished this step, and you can skip to the next section.
Set the shell variables TARDIR and SHROOT and create the directory $SHROOT. Then extract the documentation.
set TARDIR=directory-that-holds-tar-files
set SHROOT=directory-in-which-to-install-shore
If you use the Bourne shell (/bin/sh) or one of the shells derived
from it, such as ksh, omit the word "set".
mkdir $SHROOT
cd $SHROOT
gzip -d -c $TARDIR/doc.tar.gz | tar -xvf -
This step creates three directories, docs.html, docs.ps, and examples. The $SHROOT/docs.html directory contains HTML versions of the documentation. You can read these documents with a World-Wide-Web (WWW) browser such as Netscape or Mosaic. Click the "Open..." button and type
file://localhost/SHROOT/docs.html/homepage.html
where SHROOT is the directory where you un-tar'ed the documentation
release.
These documents are also available over the network at
http://cs.wisc.edu/shore/doc
You may delete docs.html if you do not want to keep local copies.
The directory $SHROOT/docs.ps contains Postscript versions of the documents suitable for printing on a laser printer. You may delete this directory after printing the documentation.
The examples directory contains example and test programs discussed in the documentation. You can get the examples without the HTML or Postscript documentation by fetching examples.tar.gz rather than doc.tar.gz.
