Installation instructions for wmstock.

Requirements
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
wmstock requires the Xpm library (which should be available on most machines
with XFree86 installed). And it requires that the GNU wget utility be installed
as well. wget is a utility that allows you to grab stuff like html files and
images diretly off the www without using a graphical browser. (Also, you
obviously need to be connected to internet in a way that wget will work.)
You also need to have Perl installed.

FreeBSD:
On FreeBSD systems you may need to use gmake instead of make.

Solaris:
On Solaris 2.x you will need to uncomment a line in the Makefile.
Uncomment the line below for Solaris and comment out the line below
for Linux.

HP-UX:
(see file install.hpux)


Installation
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
0) install wget (the GNU web get command) if you do not have it (see below)
1) gunzip wmstock-0.0x.tar.gz	(substite appropriate number for x ;) 
1) tar -xvf wmstock-0.0x.tar
2) cd wmstock-0.0x/src/
3) make clean
4) make 
4a) [optional] strip wmstock  (this will cut the size down by 2/3)
5) make install (must be root) 
6) wmstock & (or 'wmstock -h' for help, or 'man wmstock' for the man page)
7) You need to set the location of perl correctly in testqt.pl if your perl
   is located in a place other than /usr/bin/


wget
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
wget is available here:

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/

you must have it installed an in your path for the perl script to be able
to download your data.

I am using wget 1.5.3 with my development, so I cannot say for sure
whether or not this will work on any other versions.
