1.1     ! root        1: This is file /usr/cvw/ideal/README.
        !             2: 
        !             3: The makefile in this directory assumes that all necessary
        !             4: C programs reside in the directory along with it.
        !             5: 
        !             6: You'll need to change LIBDIR in the makefile to reflect where ideal's
        !             7: library will live.
        !             8: 
        !             9: The only explicit call to the memory allocator is
        !            10: in a macro tryalloc() defined in malloc.c.
        !            11: The only explicit call to the memory free routine
        !            12: is in a macro tryfree() defined in ideal.h.
        !            13: You may need to use a garbage-collecting
        !            14: allocator if your machine is small.
        !            15: You'll notice that macro tryalloc also includes a loop
        !            16: to clear the allocated node--if you want, get rid of the
        !            17: loop, and call calloc;
        !            18: be sure, though, to call calloc with TWO arguments,
        !            19: the first being the number of nodes wanted (1).
        !            20: 
        !            21: Because of uucp difficulties,
        !            22: there is a large file--subdirs.cpio--
        !            23: created with the command cpio -o <subdirectories >subdirs.cpio
        !            24: You can get them out with cpio -ir <subdirs.cpio
        !            25: 
        !            26: The lib subdirectory of this directory should contain
        !            27: the library files you'll need--arcs, circles, etc.
        !            28: 
        !            29: The tests subdirectory should contain some tests that
        !            30: exercise the code quite thoroughly.
        !            31: The exercise is: cd tests; regress; clean
        !            32: 
        !            33: The idfilt subdirectory includes filters for raw
        !            34: ideal output to troff, plot, and tektronix terminals.
        !            35: You'll need to get into that subdirectory to make the
        !            36: filters (4filt for 4014s, pfilt for general plot,
        !            37: tfilt for Brian Kernighan's troff to drive the Linotron 202).
        !            38: 
        !            39: The shell command that invokes the ideal processor
        !            40: with the correct postprocessor according to the
        !            41: flags described in manpage is in ideal.cmd.
        !            42: 
        !            43: The following ideal documentation exists:
        !            44:        my dissertation
        !            45:        my sigplan conference paper
