                Installing binary distributions of XmBDFEditor

Each binary distribution comes with 4 files:

  INSTALL     - this file
  xmbdfed.man - the manual page (optional).
  xmbdfedrc   - a sample configuration file (optional).
  xmbdfed     - the exectuable.

The 4 installation steps:

  0. Unpack the binary distribution.  Example (X.Y should be replace with the
     version number):

     % gunzip -c xmbdfed-X.Y-SOLARIS.tar.gz | tar xvf -

     GNU tar example:

     % tar zvxf xmbdfed-X.Y-LINUX.tar.gz

  1. Install the "xmbdfed" program somewhere in your path and make sure it has
     executable permissions.  Example using the "cp" program:

     % cp xmbdfed ~/mybindir/xmbdfed
     % chmod 755 ~/mybindir/xmbdfed

     Another example using a BSD compatible "install" program:

     % install -m 755 xmbdfed /usr/local/bin/

     NOTE: the "install" program on IBM AIX platforms is broken.  Use the "cp"
     program.

OPTIONAL
--------
  2. Install the sample configuration file in your home directory.  Example:

     % cp xmbdfedrc ~/.xmbdfedrc
     % chmod 644 ~/.xmbdfedrc

     The "xmbdfed" program allows you to edit and save the configuration
     parameters, so this file primarily serves to document some of
     configuration options.  Documentation on the options are in the on-line
     help as well.

  3. Install the "xmbdfed.man" file in some appropriate man directory with the
     appropriate extension.  Example:

     % install -m 644 xmbdfed.man /usr/local/X11/man/man1/xmbdfed.1

TRANSLATION PROBLEMS
--------------------
Sometimes the binaries are unable to find the KeySyms needed for Motif.
This will cause a large number of warning messages.  In that event, you
should set the XKEYSYMDB environment variable to point to the XKeysymDB
file in your X11 installation.  For example:

  % setenv XKEYSYMDB /usr/local/X11/lib/X11/XKeysymDB
