The directory (folder) in which
this README file resides is the KnotPlot home.
If you're running KnotPlot on only one type of operating system, you might want to delete the directories in the resource directory that you don't need. This will conserve some disk space.
The directories and the operating systems they are required on are:
resource/linux --- for Linux
only
resource/sgi --- for SGI IRIX
only
resource/sun4 --- for Solaris
/ SunOS only
resource/win32 --- for Windows
95/98/NT/ME/2000/XP only
resource/mac --- for MacOS only
resource/macx --- for MacOS
X only
Be sure to keep the one applying to your operating system.
You SHOULD NOT DELETE any directory in the resource directory that isn't in the list above. In particular, you should keep:
resource/www --- this is
where the KnotPlot HTML manual resides, read this important note about the HTML manual
first
resource/src --- source code
for some utilities that KnotPlot uses
resource/ps --- resource material
needed for PostScript output
