INSTALLATION OF DIYHELP

DIYHelp is written in Tcl/Tk and requires that a Tcl/Tk interpreter be
available.  Failure of the program to run will often be due to a missing or
unavailable interpreter.

First expand the compressed distribution into the desired directory by placing
the distribution file into the directory above (usually /usr/local) and
entering:

tar -zxvf diyhelp.tgz

You may have to become root or change the permissions of that directory.  
The main program and a shell script will be installed to:

/usr/local/bin

If you wish to install these somewhere else, modify the line in 'makefile' that
reads:

BINDIR=/usr/local/bin

to reflect the directory you wish to use.  This directory _must_ be in the PATH.
Then enter:

make install

This will set the directory variables in the program to the correct values and
copy the two scripts to the executable directory.  Again, you may have to become 
root to do this install if /usr/local/bin is not writable by others.

Finally, if you have become root to install, you will probably wish to change
the permissions on the /data directory so that you will be able to write new
help files to that directory without becoming root.

Change to your home directory, and as your usual user, start the program by
entering:

diyhelp

You will then have the help file for the program itself displayed.
