READ ME FIRST (SGI Beta Release)

.sh 1 "About this tape"
.pp
This tape contains a binary distribution of ESPS for the Silicon
Graphics IRIS machines and ESPS source.   This is a Beta release of 4.0
of ESPS (beta for all machines types) and a new port to the Silicon
Graphics machines.   There are two main directories on the tape;
\fIesps.sgi\fR is the binary directory that should be ready to install
and run; and \fIgeneral\fR is the source directory.  If you need to work
with the source, refer to the enclosed source installation
instructions.
.sh 1 "Installing ESPS"
.pp
This package contains the standard ESPS binary installation
instructions.   There are two changes that must be made to the
installation instructions.   First, the SGI distribution is not shown in
the table.   The name of the SGI binary directory is \fIesps.sgi\fR and
its size is about 29 Megabytes.   The other change is to section 3.0 and 3.1
of the instructions.   Normally ESPS is rooted at \fI/usr/esps\fR.   What
we usually do is to install it anywhere and put a symbolic link from
there to \fI/usr/esps\fR.   This is because many systems we deal with
have very limited space on \fI/usr\fR.    With this beta release,
however, you must root ESPS at \fI/usr/esps3\fR instead.   Since most of
the documentation refers to \fI/usr/esps\fR, I suggest that you install
the system at \fI/usr/esps3\fR and then put a symbolic link from there
to \fI/usr/esps\fR.   That way it appears to be at both locations and a
user following the other documentation will not get confused.   For
example you could:
.nf
.ft CW
# cd /usr
# tar px
# ls
.. .. .. esps3 .. .. .. 
# ln -s /usr/esps3 /usr/esps
.ft R
.fi
.pp
Be sure that the modes of the files are correct (they should allow the
most general access for reading and execution).    The \fBp\fR option on
\fItar\fR should preserve the modes from tape.

Please don't send the source code out on the demo machine to a customer
site.
