Hyperbole User Manual

2.1 Obtaining

Hyperbole is actually part of an integrated tool framework that we have developed called InfoDock. InfoDock provides a modern user interface on top of Emacs, information management, and powerful software development tools, all in one package. Hyperbole or InfoDock can be obtained via anonymous ftp on the Internet from:

`ftp://ftp.cs.uiuc.edu/pub/xemacs/infodock'.

Here are detailed instructions for downloading and unpacking Hyperbole.

Move to a directory below which you want the `hyperbole' directory to be created. Unpacking the Hyperbole archive will create the `hyperbole' directory and will place all of the files below it.

cd <LOCAL-EMACS-LISP-DIR>

Ftp to ftp.cs.uiuc.edu (Internet Host ID = 128.174.252.1):

prompt> ftp ftp.cs.uiuc.edu

Login as anonymous with your own <user-id>@<site-name> as a password.

Name (ftp.cs.uiuc.edu): anonymous 331 Guest login ok, send EMAIL address (e.g. user@host.domain) as password. Password: 230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.

Move to the Hyperbole directory:

ftp> cd pub/xemacs/infodock

Set your transfer mode to binary:

ftp> bin 200 Type set to I.

Turn off prompting:

ftp> prompt Interactive mode off.

Retrieve just the Hyperbole archive and any diff-based patches (there may not be any patches):

ftp> mget hyperbole* ftp> mget hdiff*

Close the ftp connection:

ftp> quit 221 Goodbye.

Unpack the tar archive using the GNU version of the zcat program, sometimes called gzcat or the gunzip program:

zcat hyperbole*tar.gz | tar xvf - or gunzip hyperbole*tar.gz; tar xvf hyperbole*tar

Apply any patches you retrieved:

cd hyperbole; patch < <patch-file>
