Hey, Emacs, we're -*-Text-*- mode!

ftape-doc, version 1.00, Copyright (C) 1998 Claus-Justus Heine 

The `ftape-doc' package comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details
see the file `COPYING'. This is free documentation for free software,
and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; see
the file `COPYING'.

This is the ftape-4.x-doc package, for use with the ftape-4.x floppy
tape device driver for Linux. This package contains some documentation
for the device driver ftape.

NOTE:

This package alone does not suffice to use your floppy tape
streamer. You need the `ftape' device driver as well. See
`Downloading' below.

3. Downloading

1. Documentation contained in this package
==========================================

The Ftape Installation and Usage Guide
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        You find it in the subdirectory `./ftape-manual/'

The Ftape-FAQ
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        The Ftape Frequently Asked Questions collection. The official
        location is

                http://www.correct.nl/~ftape

        The Ftape-FAQ package is maintained by

        jo@correct.nl (Johan De Wit)

        He is busy at the moment, and as I seemingly became a
        automake/autoconf fetishist I have included it here until he
        is back

        

The Ftape-HOWTO
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        The ftape HOWTO sgml sources. The official location is 

                http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/Ftape-HOWTO.html


2. Configuration options
========================

Please refer to the file `INSTALL' in this directory for generic
installation instructions. This chapter simply lists the additional
options which are understood by the `configure' script in this
directory; if you never before have used GNU autoconf generated
configure scripts then you really should read the file `INSTALL'
first. `configure --help' will give you almost the same description as
given below. The defaults for each options are given in square
brackets. PREFIX refers to the installation prefix, i.e. the directory
into which's subdirectories this package will be installed (can be
tuned with `configure --prefix=PREFIX')

Formatting the documentation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Pre-formatted documentation can be obtained from my web page (see
  below) in case you want to make hardcopies and can't format the
  documents yourself. If you want to make hardcopies then you need to
  use the `--enable-postscript' option. See below. The following
  extra-configuration options are available for this package (default
  values are given in square brackets).

  --with-faqhtmldir       where the FAQ html documentation should be
                          installed. [DATADIR/ftape-faq/html]

  --with-howtohtmldir     where the HOWTO html documentation should be
                          installed. [DATADIR/ftape-howto/html]

  --with-manualhtmldir    where the ftape-manual html documentation should
                          be installed. [DATADIR/ftape-manual/html]

  --with-manualsgmldir    where the ftape-manual sgml documentation should
                          be installed. [DATADIR/ftape-manual/sgml]

  --with-papersize        paper size to use, either a4 or letter [a4]

  --with-pslatex          use postscript fonts for LaTeX. This
                          requires the pslatex package. Only meaningful
                          for the SGML derived formatted documentation [yes]

  --enable-postscript     Create and install a Postscript version of
			  the manual as well. Have a good look at the
			  `--with-papersize' option. Pre-formatted
			  versions in either Letter or A4 format can
			  be downloaded from the ftape home page (see
			  below) [disabled]

  --with-info2html        info-to-html url to use for inforef macros in
                          TeXinfo source code.
                          [http://localhost/cgi-bin/info2html]

  --disable-localdocs     don't use locally installed versions of the
                          Ftape-FAQ and the Ftape-HOWTO in hyper-links.
			  If you leave this enabled and simply type
			  "make install" in this directory, then the
			  HTML version of the manual will reference
			  the locally installed documents rather than
			  the official places, but additionally point
			  to the official location using footnotes.
                          [enabled]

  --enable-manualsgml-docs   install sgml derived documentation even when
                          the same format can be derived directly from
                          the TeXinfo source code (PS, HTML) [no]
