I have installed the above, an HTML editor, for Athena Suns and SGIs. To
run it do:
add hotmetal; hmpro
at the Athena prompt. Please note that HoTMetaL needs to store some user-
specific configuration files, and thus will create and populate a subdirectory
called hotmetal in your home directory for this purpose. It also uses this
directory as the default place to save and look for html files. The space
required is not large and shouldn't seriously affect your quota.
IMPORTANT: if you are one of the evaluators who ran this out of the evaluate
locker, you MUST delete the file .hmpro2rc in your home directory, and all
existing subdirectories of your hotmetal directory. If you don't, HoTMetaL
will get very confused (and so will you :-). Doing this and using it out of
the new locker should not delete any existing html files in your hotmetal
directory, but you might want to make separate backups just to be extra safe.
One you start using it from the new locker, don't use it again out of the
evaluate locker.
Virtually all documentation is online (and is viewable within a Web browser,
appropriately enough). See also the html files in:
/mit/hotmetal_v2.0/distrib/common
/mit/hotmetal_v2.0/distrib/common/doc
/document
and templates and examples in /mit/hotmetal_v2.0/distrib/common/template.
Please read the information at the end of /mit/hotmetal_v2.0/README.athena
(this is an ASCII file) for other relevant information.
Release 3.0 of this package is expected within a few months and I will
install it when I receive it.
If you run into any problems that appear to be installation/configuration
related, please report them directly to me. Enjoy!
Alex
