                     13: 
                     14: The  Software  Project  Management  System  (SPMS)  is a system  for the
                     15: management  of  software   systems.  SPMS  provides,   within  the  UNIX
                     16: environment (UNIX is a trademark of Bell Telephone  Laboratories, Inc.),
                     17: a number of commands  which can greatly  simplify many tasks  associated
                     18: with  program  development  and  maintenance.  SPMS does not  attempt to
                     19: duplicate existing UNIX program  development tools such as make or SCCS,
                     20: but instead  provides a way of  coordinating  these  tools.  SPMS can be
                     21: fitted to existing  software systems.  It retains the full  capabilities
                     22: of the UNIX  environment with  unrestricted  access to UNIX tools.  As a
                     23: result,  software  packages  developed  using  SPMS do not depend on the
                     24: system for their  survival and can be ported to versions of UNIX that do
                     25: not support SPMS.
                     26: 
                     27: Installation:
                     28: 
                     29: 1.     Set up directories  /usr/new,  /usr/new/lib,  and /usr/man/mann.
                     30:        These  must  be writable by the installing process.  If you want
                     31:        to put SPMS somewhere else,  you will have to change  the  DEST=
                     32:        macro in all the makefiles, and edit the "spms.h" file in
                     33:        spms/include.
                     34: 
                     35: 2.     Change  to  the  spms  directory  and  execute   "make install".
                     36:        If something  goes  wrong, don't panic. Just fix the problem and
                     37:        restart "make install".
                     38: 
                     39: Bugfixes/Changes:
                     40: 
                     41: The following bugfixes and changes have been made since 4.2BSD.
                     42: 
                     43: 1.     The mkmf makefile editor is now independent of SPMS. It has also
                     44:        been extensively revised. See the mkmf README for more details.
                     45: 
                     46: 2.     Pgrep: The exit status is now zero if any matches are found, and
                     47:        1 if there were no matches. Previously, pgrep always returned 1.
                     48: 
                     49: 3.     Plog: The buffer that stores the  "From:"  mail header line  has
                     50:        been declared static.
                     51: 
                     52: 4.     The  project  pathnames  in two tables on pages 15 and 26 of the
                     53:        SPMS user's guide have been corrected.
