- SAWMILL 5.0 RELEASE NOTES FOR MACOS
- ===========================================================================
-
- Thank you for using Sawmill! If you have any questions, comments or
- suggestions about Sawmill, please send email to sawmill@flowerfire.com, or
- call us at (217) 898-6131.

-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- INSTALLATION
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Sawmill ships in a BinHexed self-extracting archive. You can unBinHex it
- using a program like Aladdin Systems StuffIt Expander
- (http://www.aladdinsys.com/expander/index.html). Expander will also
- automatically uncompress the result, but if you are not using Expander, you
- can uncompress it manually by double-clicking the icon whose name ends with
- .sea.
-
- This will result in a folder called sawmill, containing the Sawmill
- application and this README file.
-
- If you plan to use Sawmill in web-server mode (recommended), you can start
- using Sawmill immediately by double-clicking the application. Sawmill will
- establish itself as a web server on some port (8987 by default), and will
- print a message describing how to access it from your web browser. You
- will access it using an URL something like this:
-
- http://my.hostname.com:8987/
-
- If you plan to use Sawmill as an ACGI program, instead of using web-server
- mode, then you need to move the Sawmill application to your web server's
- CGI directory, and run it as a CGI program, something like this:
-
- http://my.web.server.com/cgi-bin/sawmill.acgi
-
- To determine where your CGI directory is, and other details about how
- Sawmill interacts with your web server, it may be useful to consult the Web
- Servers section of the online documentation (see THE ONLINE DOCUMENTATION,
- below).
-
- In either case, when you access the URL from your web browser, Sawmill will
- lead you through the startup process (which is simpler in web server mode
- than in CGI mode).
-
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- THE ONLINE DOCUMENTATION
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- During installation, it may be useful to consult the online documentation.
- Since you can't use your own copy of Sawmill's online documentation until
- Sawmill is actually up and running, we've provided an Internet-accessible
- copy on our web server:
-
- http://www.flowerfire.com/cgi-bin/sawmill?ho+docs-toc
-
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- TECHNICAL SUPPORT
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
