* INTRODUCTION
Use this package to browse the book MH & nmh: Email for Users &
Programmers (also known as the MH book) from your local hard disk. The
book also covers exmh, and xmh. It used to cover MH-E as well, but
MH-E now has its own book at http://mh-e.sourceforge.net/manual/.
This file contains installation directions; the release notes contain
important information regarding this release. The release notes for
all versions are packaged with the MH book in a file called NEWS.
* PREREQUISITES
Since the book uses PHP to render the header and footers, this book
requires a web server that supports PHP in order to take advantage of
these features. In a pinch, the files can be viewed directly in a
browser, although the experience will not be as rich.
* INSTALL
** Extract the tarball.
Choose a directory that is visible to your web server, such as
/var/www, /usr/local/lib/apache/htdocs, or ~$USER/public_html.
If you don't have GNU tar, use gzip to uncompress the tarball and drop
the `z' option.
tar xzf mh-book-yyyymm.tgz
** Point your web browser at the top-level directory.
http://localhost/path/to/MH-book-yyyynn/
** Note that the Google Search will not work unless you are connected
to the Internet.
** Read the release notes in NEWS (text) or NEWS.html (HTML).
See what's new or changed.
** Read the terms for copying and distribution under the GNU General
Public License in copying.html.
* SUBVERSION MH BOOK INSTALL
Check out the book with the following command:
svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rand-mh/book/trunk book
Then run `make' to build the indexes.
Periodically run `make' again to update your version of the book and
rebuild the indexes.
