README

        
This file contains the installation instructions for the MOST pager.

For basic information (screenshots, etc) about MOST, visit

.

Compiling MOST requires an ANSI C compiler.  In addition you MUST have

a copy of the S-Lang library version 2.X.  Version 1 is no longer

supported.  This library is available from

.

                          INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

On Unix, you should be able to simply type:

    ./configure; make

at the Unix prompt.   If you are using CYGWIN, you will need to ensure

that libslang.dll is on your PATH; otherwise the chkslang program will

not run.

If using DJGPP or MINGW32, do:

    

    cd src

    make -f makefile.w32

For VMS, edit the file `vmsmake.com'.  When finished, either type `@vmsmake'

or `@vmsmake gcc' at the VMS prompt.  Once MOST has been created, it must be

installed as a foreign command.  This means that you must first type:

      $  most :== $device:[dir.containing.most]most.exe

I suggest that you first build MOST then view the doc file using MOST (`most

most.doc').  If you need help, hit the `h' key from within MOST.

MOST understands the following environment variables:

    MOST_SWITCHES

    MOST_EDITOR, SLANG_EDITOR, EDITOR

    MOST_INITFILE

    MOST_HELP

  1. MOST_SWITCHES is a list of commonly used switches.

  2. MOST_EDITOR and SLANG_EDITOR are formatted strings describing what

     editor to use.  The string can contain %s and %d formatting descriptors

     that represent the file name and line number, respectively.  For

     example, if JED is your editor, then set MOST_EDITOR to 'jed %s -g %d'.

     Since MOST is just one of several programs that use the S-Lang library,

     I suggest that you use SLANG_EDITOR instead of MOST_EDITOR.

 3. MOST_INITFILE specifies a configuration file for MOST.  One can specify

    keymaps, colors, etc. via this file.  In the absence of

    MOST_INITFILE, the program will look for a file call .mostrc in

    the home directory (most.rc on non-Unix systems).

    See `lesskeys.rc' for an example of a key definition file that

    causes MOST to emulate the `less' pager.  See also most-fun.txt

    for a list of functions that can be used for key definitions.  The

    file `most.rc' list the bindings that are built-in to the

    viewer.

 4. If MOST_HELP is defined to point to an existing file, MOST will load a

    file as a help file.  This is useful for describing custom keymaps.
