There are a number of pre-built binary distributions of the HylaFAX
source code that are blessed as <EM>safe for installation</EM>.
These distributions are available by public FTP from various
sites on the Internet.

<TD><EM>Beware of taking binary distributions from sites that are not on this list.
HylaFAX includes several programs that are either started
by the super-user or are installed as setuid root; thus
installing untrusted distributions can be risky.</EM></TD>

<P>
Many binary distributions are available on the master FTP site:
<UL>
<PRE><B>ftp.sgi.com</B> <A HREF="ftp://ftp.sgi.com/sgi/fax/binary">sgi/fax/binary</A>
(192.48.153.1)</PRE>
</UL>
These currently include:
<UL>
<LI>Silicon Graphics <I>inst'able images</I>
<LI>SVR4 <I>pkg images</I> for x86 systems
<LI>HPUX-9.01 for HP9000/7xx systems
<LI>Ultrix 4.4 for DecStation-5000 systems
<LI>SunOS 4.1.4 for Sparc
<LI>Solaris 2.4 for Sparc
</UL>
[<I>This list may be out of date, check the FTP directory.</I>]
<P>
Alternate sites that either mirror the master FTP site or that have
specific binary distributions are:

<TD><I>These sites had binary distributions of FlexFAX or HylaFAX 3.0,
they will presumably have HylaFAX 4.0 distributions soon.</I></TD>

FreeBSD binary distributions are available from:
<UL>
<PRE><B>ftp.freebsd.org</B> <A HREF="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports-current/comms/hylafax/">pub/FreeBSD/ports-current/comms/hylafax/</A>
(165.113.58.253)</PRE>
</UL>
<P>
NetBSD binary distributions are available from:
<UL>
<PRE><B>ftp.netbsd.org</B> <A HREF="ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/binaries/NetBSD-current/i386/">pub/NetBSD/packages/binaries/NetBSD-current/i386</A>

<P>
The binary distributions come with their own instructions.
The following guidelines describe
how to interpret the filenames to understand the
format and contents of each distribution.
<P>
Distribution filenames are of the form:
<TT>hylafax-</TT><<I>target</I>>-<<I>version</I>>-<<I>format</I>>;
where <<I>target</I>> describes the target system,
<<I>version</I>> specifies the HylaFAX version the distribution
was built from, and <<I>format</I>> specifies the format of
the distribution as follows:
<UL>
<LI>a <TT>.Z</TT> suffix indicates the file has been compressed with the
<A HREF="@CGIPATH@/manpage?compress">compress</A> program
<LI>a <TT>.gz</TT> suffix indicates the file has been compressed with the
<A HREF="@CGIPATH@/manpage?gzip">GNU gzip</A> program
<LI>a <TT>.tar</TT> component indicates the file was created with the
<A HREF="@CGIPATH@/manpage?tar">tar</A> program
<LI>a <TT>-inst</TT> component indicates the file contains images for the IRIX
<A HREF="@CGIPATH@/manpage?inst">inst</A> program
<LI>a <TT>-pkg</TT> component indicates the file contains images for the SVR4
<A HREF="@CGIPATH@/manpage?pkgadd">pkgadd</A> program
</UL>
<P>
So, for example, <TT>hylafax-irix5-v3.0beta099-inst.tar</TT> is
a binary distribution for machines running IRIX 5.x and the
distribution is provided as IRIX inst images collected together in a
single archive created by the tar program.
<P>
In addition to the binary distributions, there may also be two other
files present for each target system.
Files of the form <TT>INSTALL-*-*</TT> are
installation instructions for a specific binary distribution.
Files of the form <TT>gs*-*-tar.gz</TT>
are binary distributions of Ghostscript, the Ghostscript fonts, and
any associated .ps files; configured for use with HylaFAX.
