Copyright © 1994 by Sean Luke Setup COWS Version 1.4 May 29, 1994 You can set up COWS in one of two ways: ¨ Compile the binaries, or ¨ Download them Downloading There are seven binaries in question: COWS.app, COWS2.app, Fred.app, Mac.app, COWS.palette, COWS_IBConnectors.palette, COWS_Misc.palette. They can be found on ftp.et.byu.edu, compiled fat for black and Intel hardware, if you don't care to compile them yourself. Compiling The palettes are located in the Palettes directory. The apps are located in the Apps directory. Compiling is pretty straightforward. For some reason, palettes require the existence of the palette directory before they can be compiled. Of course, cleaning a project (which is done prior to putting source on the net) removes this directory. With the palettes is the file Compiling.README, which describes how to set up the directories properly prior to compilation (it's pretty simple). Compiling COWS and COWS2 take special careÐthey must be internally different applications, not just renamed to each other. However, you will note that they use the same project files (other than the internal name, they're identical). To compile one of the (say, COWS2), load the PB.project file, press the Attributes button, and set the Project Name to "COWS2". Then press the Builder button and press Build. Likewise for COWS (use "COWS" in the Project Name). Setup ¨ You may place the palettes anywhere you like, though I suggest a directory like /LocalLibrary/Palettes. To load them, double-click on them. You can set them to be permanently loaded in Interface Builder. Take care that COWS.palette is loaded before the others, or they won't load. ¨ Put the apps somewhere in your path. /LocalApps is an okay place, or ~/Apps. This will let the (launch ...) COWS function work properly. ¨ Create a directory called /LocalLibrary/Mac or ~/Library/Mac, and place your Mac macros in this directory. This will allow you to refer to them by name instead of pathname when using the (play ...) COWS function. ¨ Put the rest anywhere you like. I'd suggest some directory like ~/LocalDeveloper/COWS or whatnot.
