# OS/2

## Files

The following files are included in the archive:

`README`
  Release notes, read first!
`fte.exe`
  Text-mode executable
`ftepm.exe`
  Presentation Manager executable
`fte-def.cnf`
  Default compiled configuration file.
`fte.inf`, `fte.ipf`, `fte.html`, `fte.txt`
  This file, in various formats.
`config\*.fte`
  Configuration files in source form.
`clipserv.exe`
  Clipboard server (required for PM clipboard support in text-mode version).
`cliputil.exe`
  Utility to copy/paste to/from clipboard from command line.
`HISTORY`
  Revision history.
`TODO`
  Todo list.
`file_id.diz`
  Program description for BBS upload.

## Required files

The default configuration files are precompiled into `fte-def.cnf`. This file should be copied to `fte.cnf` for text-mode version, and to `ftepm.cnf` for PM version. Or, you may want to compile your own configuration from source using cfte configuration file compiler.

For minimal installation of the text mode version, only `fte.exe` and `fte.cnf` are required. For PM clipboard support `clipserv.EXE` is needed and must be running whenever you wish to use PM clipboard from FTE.

To install PM version, `ftepm.exe` and `ftepm.cnf` are needed.

To recompile source files, `cfte.exe` and `config\*.fte` files are needed.

Place executable files somewhere on your PATH. Compiled configuration files should be located in the same directory as executable and have the same basename with extension `.CNF`.

# Unix

The following files are included in the archive:

`README`
  Readme file.
`fte`
  Linux console-only executable
`Xfte`
  X11 Xlib executable.
`fte-def.cnf`
  Default compiled configuration file
`fte.html`
  Reference manual
`config\*.fte`
  Configuration files in source form.
`HISTORY`
  History of changes.
`TODO`
  Todo list.
`file_id.diz`
  Program description for BBS upload.
`fte-0.38.lsm`
  LSM entry for FTE.

The default configuration files are precompiled into `fte-def.cnf`. This file should be copied to `~/.fterc` to be automatically loaded by FTE. You may want to compile your own configuration from source using cfte configuration file compiler.
