Hyper-G Client Installation Guide
  
  This document describes the steps necessary to install a Hyper-G client. See
  the Hyper-G Server Installation Guide or the Hyper-G PC Client Installation
  Guide for information regarding installation of Hyper-G clients. If you in-
  stall a server, the Hyper-G Terminal Client is also installed.
  
  The installation procedure has been automated to the extent possible. Instal-
  lation and software updates are performed with the help of the "Hyper-G Update
  Server". After the first installation (which requires some additional steps)
  it is sufficient to start a certain script and newer pieces of the Hyper-G
  software will automatically be copied over the Internet and installed. This
  script can optionally be started periodically (e.g., by cron) to ensure that
  you always run the latest software release. 
  
  The Hyper-G Client is distributed as binary. Currently, it is available for 
  
  o Sun Sparc (SunOS 4.1.3) and
  
  o DEC Ultrix
  
  Above are the preferred platforms. If you really must, there are not-so-heavi-
  ly-tested versions for 
  
  o HP 700 series (HP-UX)
  
  o SGI (IRIX)
  
  available on request.
  
  You can install the client private under your home directory or public into a
  directory /usr/local/Hyper-G.
  
  You have to install Perl on your machine because hginstclient is a perl
  script.
  
  Get script hginstclient (by anonymous ftp from iicm.tu-graz.ac.at in directory
  /pub/Hyper-G/UnixClient).
  
  Start hginstclient from directory '/usr/local/Hyper-G' or with option '-hy-
  perg' to install into '/usr/local/Hyper-G' otherwise the installation goes in-
  to your home directory. (You can also use option '-home' to force installation
  into home directory.)
  
  The first time run the script will ask you a series of questions 
  
  o directory for binaries
  
  o directory for scripts
  
  o directory for sgml files (document type definitions and stylesheets)
  
  o directory for manual pages
  
  and creates the following files: 
  
  o ~/.hglastinst or /usr/local/Hyper-G/hglastinst (choices of this installa-
    tion)
  
  o ~/.hgtv.rc or /usr/local/Hyper-G/hgtv.rc (recource file of the terminal vie-
    wer)
  
  o ~/.hgedit.mnu or /usr/local/Hyper-G/hgedit.mnu (definitions of the edit
    menu)
  
  
  
  The script will then create the directories (the path) for binaries, scripts,
  sgml files and manual pages.
  
  After the previous steps (that are only necessary when installing for the
  first time) the binaries, scripts and configuration files for your platform
  are transferred over Internet, decompressed, and installed.
  
  In order to keep the software up to date, just start hginstclient again once
  in a while (or let cron do that for you). This will contact the update server
  to check whether some pieces of the Hyper-G software have been replaced by ne-
  wer versions, and install them if necessary.
  
  Note:
    hginstclient will also install a new version of itself (in the directory of
    scripts) if necessary. To avoid confusion, the old version that you got over
    ftp should be deleted after the first installation.
  
  
  
    
  Start of client
    
    Call hgtv from the scripts directory, it will read hgtv.rc, set up the ap-
    propriate path and start the Hyper-G Terminal Client.
