[comp.sys.sgi] problems getting stars...

Some people have had some problems pulling the files out of my mail
message for "Stars".  I tried sending these people message separately,
but none made it through, soooo....


The "Stars" program was tar'ed, compress'ed, and then uuencode'd (whew!)
To pull the files out of the mail message, save it to a file (say, 'stars.uu')
and then edit that file.  Delete all text up to the 'begin 644 stars.tar.Z.....'
and save it.  Exit back to a shell and type the following:

 % uudecode stars.uu
 % uncompress stars.tar.Z
 % tar xof stars.tar


This will leave you with 3 files in your directory: stars.doc (documentation),
stars.c (source), and stars.mak (makefile).  To compile the stars program,
type:

 % make -f stars.mak

This will leave a copy of stars in your current directory.  To try stars out,
just type 'stars'.....


Hope this helps everyone!
