- This diskette contains the programs from Efficient C, by Thomas Plum
- and Jim Brodie. The programs are copyright (c) Plum Hall Inc, 1985.
- Permission is hereby granted for you to reproduce these programs in
- any machine-readable medium, and to use them and incorporate them in
- other machine-readable forms (such as linkage libraries and compiled
- programs). However, to distribute any printed human-readable copies,
- you must obtain written permission from Plum Hall Inc.
-
- Some of the source files are catenated together into larger files,
- because many of our target environments do not have subdirectory
- structure. There is a program UNIRD ("universal read distribution")
- provided in source UNIRD.C and MS-DOS executable UNIRD.EXE. It splits
- the large files into their named constituents.
-
- Each of these catenated files contains the environment-dependent files
- for a particular machine and/or operating system. If, for example,
- you wanted to run the timings in a 68000 UNIX environment, you would
- execute
- UNIRD <M68K.D
- UNIRD <UNIX.D
- to get the proper files.
-
- Further installation instructions are found in the appendix of the
- textbook.

-
- This is a very preliminary distribution. I would greatly appreciate
- your calling me if you encounter any problems, and I would very much
- like to know the specific "scripts" that you create for the
- compilation process in your environment.
-
- 86/01/08: I have added another "catenated" (UNI) file called READERS.IN
- which contains comments, batch files, etc. from readers. As with the
- other UNI files, you can simply type it to see what it contains.
- To split it into its components, run UNIRD <READERS.IN.
