-
- The oodles-of-utils distribution currently consists of two main files.
-
- oou-lisp
- The complete lisp source for oou + the documentation.
-
- oou-fasl
- The oou source files compiled with whatever settings I'm currently
- using - which are probably all the expensive ones turned on, like
- *fasl-save-local-symbols*, ...
-
- I'm providing the fasl files as a convenience. You can easily compile
- oou yourself, but it can take a while if you machine is slow or you're
- tight on memory.
-
- Note: To use the fasl files you need to put the oou-fasl folder in
- the oou folder.
-
- If you see other files in the directory these are additions or bug fixes
- issued in the intermim between new versions.
-
-
- Documentation
-
- The oodles-of-utils folder now has an docs sub-folder.
-
- The documentaion for oou has grown so large (70+ pages, table of contents,
- index, appendicies, ...) and cumbersome that I was forced to abandon
- plain text files. The main documentaion file is oou-docs.RTF
-
- oou-docs was written using Microsoft Word, but I'm distributing it in
- Microsoft's RTF format which a variety of word processors can read.
- No information from the original MS Word document should be lost. In
- addition, RTF format avoids some of MS Word's pitfalls (storing fonts
- by id instead of name, incompatabilities between versions 4.0x & 5.0x
- of MS Word (which are 100% compatible)) If you cannot find a way to read
- or print the docs, contact me and I'll try to arrange something.
-
- oou-docs are desinged for double-sided hardcopy. So for the nicest
- results, either print them double-sided or duplicate them double-side.
-
- ILS users should see me before printing out the docs. I'm going to try
- and arrange to have ILS keep some nicely printed and bound copies available.
-
- If you choose to view oou-docs online using MS Word, it will be infinitely
- more legible if you turn OFF the display of hidden text and paragraph marks.
