I have installed cT 3.0 for Linux on Athena. cT is a programming language
specialized for multimedia, interactive applications.
cT runs in an authoring mode and an "executor" mode. To use the former, you
must first write a cT source code file (using a .t extension), such as
myfile.t). Then invoke the cT environment with:
add ct; cT myfile.t
menus offer various options including execution. one option in one of the
cT windows is Option -> Make Binary. If you do this, you will create a
file of same name but with extension .linux.ctb (they are platform-specific).
You can run such a binary using the "executor" mode by typing:
add ct; cTx myfile (note the .linux.ctb extension is omitted)
There is documentation below /mit/ct_v3.0/distrib/docs (in pdf format),
and examples below /mit/ct_v3.0/distrib/demos.
We have older versions (2.2, 2.5) of cT on Athena for Suns- we expect to
eventually get 3.0 for them as well.
