README -*- text -*- GNU Emacs REDUCE Integrated Development Environment: Major Modes for Editing and Running REDUCE Source Code Author: Francis J. Wright Time-stamp: <14 February 2000> Requires GNU Emacs 20.3+ (Older versions of GNU Emacs are not supported, but the package may be useable with earlier versions of GNU Emacs 20 if installed by hand. XEmacs is not currently supported.) Description of Distributed Files reduce-mode.el REDUCE editing mode -- REQUIRED These *.el files are independent: reduce-run.el runs REDUCE in an Emacs buffer reduce-ide-install.el auto-installer (Requires GNU Emacs 20.3+) Download all or none of these dependent documentation files: reduce-ide.info documentation in info format (header) reduce-ide.info-1 documentation in info format (part 1) reduce-ide.info-2 documentation in info format (part 2) dir.info documentation in info format (directory) These logically identical documentation files are all independent: reduce-ide.dvi TeX DVI format (mainly for printing) reduce-ide.pdf PDF format (mainly for printing) reduce-ide.html HMTL format (mainly for browsing) reduce-ide.texinfo texinfo documentation source reduce-ide.tar.gz all the above files as a gzipped tar file Download whichever files you want. All except `reduce-mode.el' are optional. If you download `reduce-ide.tar.gz' then you must currently uncompress and unarchive it by hand. (I use the GNU tar command `tar xvzf reduce-ide.tar.gz'.) Only the `*.el' and `*.info' files are directly relevant to Emacs. If you download all those that you want to use into the same directory and then load (or evaluate) the file `reduce-ide-install.el' in that directory, it will automatically configure Emacs to use them. Alternatively, there are detailed installation instructions in the documentation files and brief installation instructions as comments near that start of the `*.el' files. ********************************************************************** BEWARE that the installer is not yet reliable. You may need to run it twice and/or to edit the resulting configuration. I am releasing this version because the installer is proving difficult to fix. The safest option is to instal the package manually, i.e. to ignore the automatic installer. **********************************************************************
