- Overview
- --------
- This code was developed on a SUN 3/60 and a SPARCstation 1 with the help of
- Saber-C which has been a blessing. The code has been also been tested on
- a DECstation 3100 and a SUN 386i. The messages passed between the chaos
- client and the drone daemons are byte-order independent and therefore drones
- may be run on a variety of different machines.
-
-
- Building, Installing and Executing
- ----------------------------------
-
- 1. From the top level type "xmkmf" to create a makefile for
- the top level. (Sample makefiles are supplied for users who
- cannot use Imakefiles.)
-
- 2. Type "make World".
-
- 3. Watch for any errors during the build.
-
- 4. As root, type "make install". If you want manual pages installed,
- also type "make install.man".
-
- 5. Read the man pages for chaos(6), drone(6), and gencmap(6).
-
- 6. Copy the contents of master/Chaos.ad to the end of your .Xdefaults
- file and customize as desired.
-
- 7. If you wish to run drones remotely on other hosts, add them to the
- access control list with xhost. For example, to allow drones to
- be run on hosts "calvin" and "hobbes", type "xhost calvin hobbes".
-
- 8. Type "chaos" and have fun.

- Bugs and Enhancements
- ---------------------
-
- There will undoubtedly be be some bugs remaining in the code although Saber-C
- was used to point out a lot of insideous bugs that would have caused me hours
- of greif otherwise. When bugs or portability issues arise, please send them
- back to me so that I may include the patches in future releases of the code.
-
- Any enhancements are welcome but please direct them back to me so that I can
- keep a single version of the code.
