**** THIS DIRECTORY WAS NOT UPDATED FOR RELEASE 4.1 - IT IS EXACTLY **** AS IT WAS FOR RELEASE 4.0.1. THE USER MANUAL, RELEASE NOTES, **** AND INSTALLATION GUIDE (postgres-setup.me) HAVE BEEN MOVED TO **** THE DIRECTORY "../doc" AND IS MORE CURRENT. FOR THE NEXT RELEASE **** WE PLAN A TOTAL OVERHAUL ON THE DOCUMENTATION. Directories: papers/ Technical reports about Postgres implementation/ bufmgr.doc - buffer manager amiint.doc - "backend" program protocol executor/* - old executor implementation notes planner/* - old planner implementation notes psdump/ Postscript dump of papers using illustrations. You will need to use these if you do not have GRN. If these do not work or you do not have a Postscript printer, use the "eatgrn" script in place of GRN in the print scripts - this will get rid of the GRN data and allow you to print these files without the illustrations. The Postscript versions of these files are printed on an Apple Laserwriter. tutorials/ Postgres tutorials To print these files, use the print script in this directory. Set the PRINTER="-P " variable to the name of your site's printer, or you may use % print -P filename Papers with pictures in them are available in Postscript format in the directory psdump. File Name Conventions: .me - Standard TROFF file using me macros. This is all we use. These files may include calls to deqn, dtbl, and ideal. .grn - Same as above, but with embedded GRN pictures. Postscript dumps are distributed for the convienence of those who do not have access to GRN (a GREMLIN preprocessor for TROFF). .doc - Flat ASCII files - just send directly to your line printer. .ps - Postscript files - these should be sent directly to your line printer IF it is a laser printer.
