    kdrill v5.5 INSTALL file

READ THIS FILE CAREFULLY.

 kdrill REQUIRES an ANSI-C compiler
(And X11R5 libXaw, or better)


You should really check out Imakefile to see if things are okay for your
system. Things like where you want kdrill installed, for instance.
Additionally, you may have to uncomment the -DBSD or other things.

kdrill now requires that you have the "strstr(a,b)" C library call.
I THINK just about everyone has it nowadays.
(if you don't, please let me know)
All it does is check whether string b is in string a.

Read "README" about getting "kanjidic", if you do not have it yet. It is the
free dictionary kdrill was designed to use.
The only dictionary file that kdrill comes with, is the simple kana
pronunciation dictionary

Currently, there are a few options how to install the dictionary file.
By default, it will look in /usr/local/lib/kanjidic.gz
The ".gz" means that it expects a gzipped file. 
I strongly advise you to get gzip.

If you really really don't want gzip, but do want to use compress or
something, change the Imakefile defines for UNCOMPRESSEXT and UNCOMPRESS.
If you don't want to compress your dictionaries, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.


kdrill will check to see if the dictionary is compressed or not.  If it
is compressed, it will attempt to open the file through the uncompression
program of your choice.
If the dictionary is not compressed, it will open the file "normally".


TO INSTALL on most systems, do;

xmkmf
make
make install
make install.man

You may also choose to install some or all of the extra .dic files
in the "makedic" directory, for those people who haven't
learned hiragana yet.

COLOR OPTIONS:
KDrill now comes slight colored. It uses grey (Oooooo!)
You may tune to taste via the KDrill file.
If you have a monochrome system (I feel sorry for you) you might want to
just comment out the color lines in the "KDrill" resource file, if you
have it installed.  (or not bother to install it at all)

Note for X newbies:
"KDrill.ad" is the "resource file", that should be installed as
"KDrill", in the appropriate directory. "make install" should do that
for you. If you don't have the permissions required to install it, you can
put the lines you want from it, in ~/.Xdefaults, or some similar file that
should get loaded automatically when you start up X.
