- # To get you started with the Modula-2 support for the Alpha editor
- # =================================================================
- # You can use Alpha as your preferred editor while programing
- # in Modula-2 on the Macintosh, e.g. using the MacMETH implementation
- # or if you are developing simulation models with RAMSES. The Alpha editor
- # is a very powerful, versatile text editor, available as freeware.
- # Check the following places to get it:
-
- http://www.cs.umd.edu/~keleher/alpha.html
-
- # or
-
- ftp://www.cs.umd.edu/pub/faculty/keleher/Alpha/
-
-
- # To obtain information about MacMETH, the "Dialog Machine", ModelWorks,
- # and RAMSES use anonymous
-
- ftp (ftp.ito.umnw.ethz.ch = 129.132.80.130)
-
- # and download RAMSES from the directory /pub/pc/RAMSES or /pub/mac/RAMSES.
-
-
- # Installation
- # ============
- # In order to be able to work with the Alpha editor while programing
- # with the MacMETH or RAMSES shell you have to perform the following 2
- # (in some cases 3) installation steps:
-
- # Step 1:
- # ------
- # add the following 4 lines into your Prefs.tcl file. This
- # file can be easily opened from within Alpha (menu Edit command
- # "Edit Prefs.tcl"):
-
- # Loading of Modula-2 programing utilities during start-up
- if {[file exists "$HOME:Tcl:UserCode:Modula-2.tcl"]} {
- source "$HOME:Tcl:UserCode:Modula-2.tcl"
- }
-
- # Besides, Prefs.tcl resides within your Alpha folder within the
- # folder Preferences within your System 7 folder.
-
- # Step 2:
- # ------
- # To install respectively update any Modula-2 utilities move the
- # following files into the following Alpha folders:
- #
- # File Folder to which you move or overwrite the file
- #
- # "Modula-2 Help" Help
- # Modula-2.tcl Tcl:UserCode
- #
- # Read the on-line help to get going.
-
- # Step 3 (optional):
- # -----------------
- # If you use older system software (< 7.5) you need to install also
- # the INIT "Macintosh Drag and Drop" or Alpha will complain at each
- # start-up with a confusing message "Drag error # -1055, have you
- # installed Apple's drag init?". The needed init is available as part
- # of Apple's System 7.5 software or the "Now Utilities" V5.01.
-
-
- # Unless you change also to a new Alpha release, updating of
- # the Modula-2 support requires only to update the files
- # "Modula-2.tcl" respectively "Modula-2 Help", i.e. step 1 (and 3)
- # can be skipped.

-
- # P.S.: Older pre 6.0 versions of Alpha required a different method of
- # installation which is no longer supported.
