			     Commander S
                             ===========

* Requirements

  Before installing Commander S, you need to install the following
  software:

  - The current CVS version of scsh, the Scheme Shell.  The latest
    release, version 0.6.6, contains two small bugs that prevent
    Commander S from running correctly. Alternativly, you may apply
    the patches listed in the last section of this README to your scsh
    0.6.6 source tree.
    (From <http://www.scsh.net>)

  - Version 1.2.0 of install-lib, the scsh installation library
    (From <http://lamp.epfl.ch/~schinz/scsh_packages/scsh-install-lib-1.2.0.tar.gz>)

  - Version 1.0 of scsh-ncurses, the scsh bindings for ncurses
    (From <ftp://ftp.scsh.net/pub/scsh/packages/scsh-ncurses/scsh-ncurses-1.0.tar.gz>)

  - Version 0.8 of Sunterlib, the Scheme Untergrund library (NOT
    RELEASED YET)
    (From <http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/sunterlib/sunterlib-0.8.tar.gz>)

* Installation

  Run the script install.scm from the top of the tarball:

  ./install.scm

  The only important option is --prefix to specify a directory where
  files are installed. Use the --help options to see all possible
  options.

* Patches for scsh

  The following patches fix two little bugs in the scsh source tree
  found during the development of Commander S.
