# To get you started with the Modula-2 support for the Alpha editor
# =================================================================
# You can use Alpha as your preferred editor while programing
# in Modula-2 on the Macintosh, e.g. using the MacMETH implementation
# or if you are developing simulation models with RAMSES. The Alpha editor
# is a very powerful, versatile text editor, available as freeware.
# Check the following places to get it:
http://www.cs.umd.edu/~keleher/alpha.html
# or
ftp://www.cs.umd.edu/pub/faculty/keleher/Alpha/
# To obtain information about MacMETH, the "Dialog Machine", ModelWorks,
# and RAMSES use anonymous
ftp (ftp.ito.umnw.ethz.ch = 129.132.80.130)
# and download RAMSES from the directory /pub/pc/RAMSES or /pub/mac/RAMSES.
# Installation
# ============
# In order to be able to work with the Alpha editor while programing
# with the MacMETH or RAMSES shell you have to perform the following 2
# (in some cases 3) installation steps:
# Step 1:
# ------
# add the following 4 lines into your Prefs.tcl file. This
# file can be easily opened from within Alpha (menu Edit command
# "Edit Prefs.tcl"):
# Loading of Modula-2 programing utilities during start-up
if {[file exists "$HOME:Tcl:UserCode:Modula-2.tcl"]} {
source "$HOME:Tcl:UserCode:Modula-2.tcl"
}
# Besides, Prefs.tcl resides within your Alpha folder within the
# folder Preferences within your System 7 folder.
# Step 2:
# ------
# To install respectively update any Modula-2 utilities move the
# following files into the following Alpha folders:
#
# File Folder to which you move or overwrite the file
#
# "Modula-2 Help" Help
# Modula-2.tcl Tcl:UserCode
#
# Read the on-line help to get going.
# Step 3 (optional):
# -----------------
# If you use older system software (< 7.5) you need to install also
# the INIT "Macintosh Drag and Drop" or Alpha will complain at each
# start-up with a confusing message "Drag error # -1055, have you
# installed Apple's drag init?". The needed init is available as part
# of Apple's System 7.5 software or the "Now Utilities" V5.01.
# Unless you change also to a new Alpha release, updating of
# the Modula-2 support requires only to update the files
# "Modula-2.tcl" respectively "Modula-2 Help", i.e. step 1 (and 3)
# can be skipped.

# P.S.: Older pre 6.0 versions of Alpha required a different method of
# installation which is no longer supported.
