Command Line File Handling and ASCII Tools

Download and Installation

The programs can be downloaded from Sourceforge as a single .zip archive for Windows, or a .tar.gz archive for Linux. The archive contains:

pre-compiled binaries for Windows (in the .zip file) or Linux (in the .tar.gz file)
this HTML documentation
the C++ source code

The Windows binaries have been compiled under Windows XP, but should work on any 32-bit Windows version.

The Linux binaries have been compiled under Ubuntu.

What To Do

The procedure for installing the binaries is very straight-forward, and essentially the same on both platforms.

Windows

Download the .zip file with the current version from http://sourceforge.net/projects/glindra/.
Unpack the file by right clicking on it, and choosing "Extract all". Afterwards you can move the top glindra folder to some suitable place in your directory structure. We will call that folder "...\" in the following instructions.
Either
- add the folder ...\glindra\bin\ to the system path

...\glindra\bin\*.exe

Ready!

Linux

Download the .tar.gz file with the current version from http://sourceforge.net/projects/glindra/.
Unpack the file with the command
```
> tar xzvf glindra_0_4_0
```
Afterwards you can move the top glindra directory to some suitable place in your directory structure. We will call that directory ".../" in the following instructions.
Either
- add the directory .../glindra/bin/ to the system path

.../glindra/bin/*

Ready!

What's Included

After you have unpacked the .zip or .tar.gz archive, you'll have a directory structure that looks something like this (version 0.4.0 on Linux):

Binaries

For Windows, the .zip file contains the following pre-compiled binaries in the glindra\bin directory:

> d bin\ -nodate

Directory of ...\glindra\bin\

     2.2 Mb    cop.exe
     2.3 Mb    d.exe
     2.2 Mb    dele.exe
     2.2 Mb    filter.exe
     2.2 Mb    pu.exe
     2.2 Mb    rena.exe
     2.3 Mb    se.exe
  ----------
    13.2 Mb    total, 6 files

Similarly for Linux, the .tar.gz file contains the pre-compiled Linux binaries in glindra/bin:

> d bin/ -nodate

Directory of /home/chris/release/glindra/bin/

     2.1 Mb    cop
     2.2 Mb    d
     2.1 Mb    dele
     2.2 Mb    filter
     2.1 Mb    pu
     2.1 Mb    rena
     2.2 Mb    se
  ----------
    14.7 Mb    total, 7 files

Documentation

This documentation can be found in the folder .../glindra/doc/ as a number of ordinary HTML files.

The most current version of the documentation is also available at http://doc.glindra.org

C++ Source Code

The C++ source code can be found in .../glindra/src/***, that is, in folder .../glindra/src/ and its subfolders. Instructions on how to compile the source code and build the programs can be found on the page Compiling Glindra From Source.
