JStrack version 2.0.0 has a completely revised installation procedure,
so READ THIS FIRST!

Important notes:

1) The structure of the configuration files has changed.  The location
   where some variables is no longer the same (some moved to paths.tcl).

2) There is now a configuration script.  It's not perfect...far from it,
   in fact, but it's a good start.


INSTALLATION STEPS:

Unix:

   1) Make sure Tcl/Tk is installed.  At present, you must have either
      version 8.2.x or 8.3.x.

      Also make sure TclLib 1.3 (or better) is installed.

      See installing_tcl.txt for details.

   2) Run autoconfig.tcl (if not already run by setup program).  It will
      tell you if it has any problems.

   3) If you're using the normal interface (tracker/jstrack.tcl),
      just run JStrack and check the various options to see if you
      want to change anything.

      If, on the other hand, you're using the text-only interface
      (tracker/jstrack-text_only.tcl), edit sysconfig.tcl and
      options.tcl (both under the "tracker" directory) just like
      you had to before.


WINDOWS 95/98/Me/NT/2k/XP:

   1) Make sure Tcl/Tk is installed.  At present, you must have either
      version 8.2.x or 8.3.x.  If you don't have Tcl/Tk installed, the
      setup program will (assuming the links aren't broken on the other
      end when you run it) download and install ActiveTcl 8.3.4, so
      don't worry too much about this one.

      NOTE:  If you have a version of Tcl/Tk 8.2.x or 8.3.x that does
      not include TclLib 1.3 (or better), THE FTP UPDATE FEATURE WILL
      NOT WORK!  If that's the case, follow the instructions in
      installing_tcl.txt to install TclLib 1.3.

   2) Run jstrack-200-setup.exe.  Among other things, it will look for
      Tcl/Tk 8.3.x (or, if that's not found, 8.2.x) in the two most
      common install dirs:  "C:/Program Files/Tcl" and C:/Tcl.  If it
      doesn't find it, it'll give you a chance to download and install
      it.

      NOTE:  If the setup program finds Tcl/Tk 8.3 (or 8.2), it can
      run autoconfig.tcl for you (see next step).

      For most installations (i.e., unless you've modified the layout
      of the JStrack directories), YOU'RE DONE AS OF THIS POINT.

      --------------------------------------------

   3) Run autoconfig.tcl (if not already run by setup program).  It will
      tell you if it has any problems.

   4) If you're using the normal interface (tracker/jstrack.tcl),
      just run JStrack and check the various options to see if you
      want to change anything.

      If, on the other hand, you're using the text-only interface
      (tracker/jstrack-text_only.tcl), edit sysconfig.tcl and
      options.tcl (both under the "tracker" directory) just like
      you had to before.



OTHER SYSTEMS (Mac, etc.):

I don't have access to anything other than Unix and Win32 (specifically,
Win2k and WinXP), so if you do, and can provide helpful instructions for
other users, please e-mail the info to me at jstrack@cox.net, or if that
fails, j.graham@ieee.org.
