MsgEd TE 6.0 is shipped in various distribution
archives. This section describes the contents of each. You normally do only
need one of these files containing the executable and documentation for your
platform, and maybe the file that contains the printable version of the
documentation. In the following files, ??? must be replaced by the version
number, e.g. `600' for version `6.0.0'.
- `MSGE???O.ZIP'
-
This archive contains an OS/2 executable, sample configuration files and a
manual in OS/2 INF format.
- `MSGE???D.ZIP'
-
This archive contains a 16-Bit DOS executable, sample configuration files and
a manual in plain text format.
- `MSGE???3.ZIP'
-
This archive contains a 32-Bit DPMI DOS executable, sample configuration
files and a manual in plain text format.
- `MSGE???W.ZIP'
-
This archive contains a Windows 32 bit console executable that should be your
primary choice when running Windows NT or 2000, sample configuration files
and a manual in HTML format.
- `MSGE???L.ZIP'
-
This archive contains a statically linked, pre-compiled Linux executable,
sample configuration files and a manual in GNU info format.
- `MSGE???M.ZIP'
-
This archive contains the manual for MsgEd TE in Postscript and in HTML
format. If you intend to print the documentation of MsgEd TE, then you
should get this file and use the Postscript version, because printing the
Postscript version of the manual (by copying it to the printer port of a
postscript capable printer, or by using Ghostscript) will result in the best
possible output that looks much nicer than if you would print the HTML or
plain text documentations.
- `MSGE???S.ZIP'
-
This archive contains the complete C source code for MsgEd TE,
out-of-the-box makefiles for building MsgEd TE on DOS, OS/2, Windows,
and almost every imaginable Unix-like system (tested systems include Linux,
FreeBSD and Tru64 Unix), sample configuration files, and the texinfo source
code for the manual that can be used to build the manual in OS/2 INF, HTML,
GNU info or DVI format.
For compiling MsgEd TE, you also need the `smapi' library. The
`fidoconfig' library is not needed, MsgEd TE can now parse
Fidoconfig without need for this library. The versions of `smapi'
libary that can be used to build MsgEd TE 6.0 are:
- `smapi-stable-010619-src.tar.gz'
-
or any other version from this stable branch
- `smapi-2.0.0-src.tar.gz'
-
once it will have been released
- `smapi-2.0.?-src.tar.gz'
-
practically, any version of smapi 2.0 should do.
Attention: Most of these ZIP-files contain subdirectories, so you
should use the `-d' option when unzipping them with `pkunzip'.!
