INSTALLATION
To install this version of the form program you should first
create a directory for it (In this tutorial we will call this
directory C:\FORM).
Change to that directory.
Then type a:\FORM01 -d, this will extract the files from the
archive into the current directory creating sub directories as needed.
NOTE you must extract with the -d option.
When you have finished you should have a directory structure like
this
C:\FORM This directory contains form.exe, and a
| sample sstools.ini
+ SHAPES
+ FORMINCS
+ DOCS
File List
FORM.EXE The main executable
SSTOOLS.INI a sample .INI file, FORM reads it's defaults from
this. User editable. If you have used fractint or
fractint for windows then you may already have a
sstools.ini file on your path. You can copy the
[FORM] section from this sstools.ini file into
your own sstools.ini, or not if you don't want
to.
README.1ST a readme file, with a short description of
things, hardware requirements etc.
I do hope you've already read it.
INSTALL.DOC This file. But of course you already know that!
Information on how to install FORM, and what the
files are for.
FORMVUE.POV a "template" POV raytracer file (POV is a public
domain raytracer that is supported by FORM).
FORMVUE2.POV a "template" for POV2.
SHAPES a directory containing sample .FRM shapes
(contents may vary).
FORMINCS a directory containing a single .FRI
file. (contents may vary).
Now read the tutorial.
Then FAQ.DOC
and then if you're a real sucker for punishment read FORM.DOC and LANGUAGE.DOC
