- @@@STARTPACK(Acme;Acme Labs Java Software)
- <P>
- These excellent Java classes were downloaded from Jef Poskanzer's
- ACME Laboratories. The ACME Labs home page is at
- <A HREF="http://www.acme.com/">http://www.acme.com/</A>
- and includes some remarkably useful freeware.
- <P>
- In addition to the Acme class library, i have also downloaded and packaged
- up a few of Jef's Java applications. These include :
- <DL>
- <DT> WebCat <DD> fetch URLs and write them to stdout
- <DT> WebList <DD> make a list of the files in a web subtree
- <DT> WebCopy <DD> copy a remote web subtree to the local disk
- <DT> WebGrep <DD> search a web subtree for a pattern
- <DT> WebPost <DD> post a web query and write the results to stdout
- <DT> ToPpm <DD> dump out an image URL as PPM
- <DT> ToGif <DD> dump out an image URL as GIF
- </DL>
- Also included is the Java application wrapper script JavaWrapper and
- a sample shell script i wrote called webget which front-ends the
- action of WebCat.
- <P>
- The Acme class library gets extracted, by default, into /usr/local/java/Acme.
- The Java applications get extracted into /usr/local/java and the shell
- script wrappers get extracted into /usr/local/bin.
- <P>
- The JavaWrapper script checks to see if your CLASSPATH environment variable
- is set. If not, it sets it to /usr/local/java. If set, it checks to see
- if /usr/local/java is a component and, if not, appends that.
- <P>
- Many other useful and fun things are at
- <A HREF="http://www.acme.com/">
- ACME Laboratories</A>.
- <P>
- If you have questions about the packaging of these classess, you may
- address them to me, Ron Record, via
- <A HREF="mailto:rr@sco.com">rr@sco.com</A>.
