The following instructions are for both, Unix based operating systems
and Windows NT.

Note: Source code compilation is not supported for Windows 95. The
reason is that the Windows 95 command interpreter ("command.com") does
not provide the same functionality as the Windows NT command
interpreter ("cmd.exe"). However, this does NOT mean that Windows 95
isn't supported at all. The Java class files created under Windows NT
will of course also work under Windows 95.

For configuration, edit the files "config/Make.rules" (Unix),
"config\Make.rules.mak" (NT) and "config/sh.init" (Unix and NT).
Follow the instructions in the comments of these files and make the
appropriate changes.

You will need the ORBacus IDL-to-Java translator `jidl' in order to
build this distribution. You can build the translator yourself by
obtaining and compiling the ORBacus for C++ distribution. OOC also
provides binary versions of `jidl' for several platforms on our FTP
site.

To start the compilation process under Unix, simply type "make". This
will compile all packages available in this distribution. For Windows
NT, use "nmake /f Makefile.mak" ("nmake" is a tool that comes with
Visual C++).

To install the packages in the directory specified in "config/Make.rules"
(Unix) or "config\Make.rules.mak" (NT), use "make install" (Unix)
or "nmake /f Makefile.mak install" (NT). You MUST run "make" (Unix)
or "nmake /f Makefile.mak" (NT) before you install. In other words,
"make install" only performs the installation procedure and does not
compile the sources.

Should you have any problems compiling any of our programs, do not
hesitate to ask us for assistance. Just send an e-mail to
"support@ooc.com".
