     TOOLS:  OVERVIEW

     Composer provides a simplified user interface to the ghost
     routines and to kinstall.  The documentation in this section
     and subsequent sections is primarily to aid you in using
     composer to access these tools.  You are expected to review
     the documentation in Khoros Manual Volume II, Chapters 1 and
     5,  and read the vman pages on ghostreader(1), ghost-
     writer(1), ghostcheck(1), and kinstall(1).

     Once you have created or edited a UIS pane file, and hope-
     fully a PS file, in a work directory, you are ready to use
     the ghost tools to generate code.  If you created a new pro-
     gram specifications, you will want to begin with "GHOST-
     WRITER".  If you are modifying an existing routine, you
     should begin by running "GHOSTCHECK".  If you have modified
     the code or documentation generated by ghostwriter and wish
     to update the PS file, run "GHOSTREADER".

     The "MAKE" button executes make assuming that you have run
     "GHOSTWRITER" to create an Imakefile and a Makefile.  Kin-
     stall assumes that you are installing your routines into a
     toolbox that has already been set up.  For more information
     on this, see Khoros Manual Volume II, Chapter 1 on Writing
     Programs and Chapter 9 on Source Configuration.

     Before any action is taken, you must enter a correct "Pro-
     gram Name" and "Toolbox Name".  The "Toolbox Name" can
     either be blank or a valid name as specified in your toolbox
     file.  The defaults for the logicals "Program Configuration
     File" and "Ghost Program Install Mode" are set correctly for
     the beginner.  Again, you should run composer from a work
     directory until your program is completely debugged and then
     install.
