The jcabc2ps is John Chambers' clone of Michael Methfessel's abc2ps program. It should be in the same directory as this README file, or maybe in the parent directory. Here's how you can unpack it: The entire source tree, with lots of test files, should be in a "jcabc2ps.src.tar.gz" file, which is probably the same as the file with a date as part of its name, as in "jcabc2ps-20020502-src.tar.gz". To unpack and compile it: gunzip jcabc2ps.src.tar.gz tar xf jcabc2ps.src.tar cd jcabc2ps make make test make install If you have a gnu version of tar, you can combine the first two into: tar xfz jcabc2ps.src.tar.gz You might want to examine the Makefile to see what the test and install entries do. By default, they are installed into a couple of directories under $HOME; you may want to change these to wherever you want it put. Note that both jcabc2ps and abc2ps executables are created; they are the same program. You may want to change this. The "make test" command runs jcabc2ps on the test files in the abc subdirectory, and puts the results into the ps subdirectory. There are also output log files in the log subdirectory. You might want to check a few of the ps files and make sure that everything's sane. Oh, and let me know if you have problems, or even better, improvements: jc@trillian.mit.edu.
