------------------------
STEP 1: Configure Source
------------------------

	Configure the source for your system, type:

		./configure --listall

	This will run the compiler test and print all available
	platforms. Choose the most appropriate platform and
	add any additional arguments as needed (see ./configure --help
	for more information on enabling/disabling and overriding
	source configuration values).

	To select your platform simply type the platform name and
	any additional arguments to the ./configure line, example:

	# ./configure Linux --prefix=/usr -v --enable="arch-i586"


	Special note for AIX and FreeBSD: Try the platform specific
	makefile first before trying ./configure. Simply type
	`cd manedit' and run one of the following:

	# make -f Makefile.AIX

	or

	# make -f Makefile.FreeBSD

	If compiling was successful then type:

	# make -f THE_MAKEFILE_USED_ABOVE install


------------------------ 
STEP 2: Building Program
------------------------ 

	If there were no problems configuring the source for your
	system, then just type:

	# make all

	This will start the compiling process.

	If you encountered errors, then you should report them to the
	authors. Read the AUTHORS file for a list of addresses.


--------------------
STEP 3: INSTALLATION
--------------------

	To install, su to root as needed and type:

	# make install

	Note: If you specified an alternate prefix in the ./configure
	line then the installation location may be different than shown
	below.

	Data files are installed in:

		/usr/share/manedit/

		/usr/share/icons/manedit.xpm

	Program is installed in:

		/usr/bin/manedit


---------------
STEP 4: RUNNING
---------------

	To run this program, type:

	# manedit &

	For additional command line options, type:

	# manedit --help


	If you need additional help, don't hesitate to ask. You can
	contact the authors via e-mail, please read the file AUTHORS
	for a list of addresses.
