------------------------------------------------------------ INSTALLATION

Tested Systems:

   perl 5.004, 5.004_53

   Solaris 2.5.1
     SC4.0 18 Oct 1995 C++ 4.1 / ObjectStore 4.0.1, 4.0.2
     SC4.0 18 Oct 1995 C++ 4.1 / ObjectStore 5.0.0, 5.0.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The build process is a bit radical and needs some explaination.

1. xemacs ./Config.pm

2. perl ./be

     It should build all the code and run the test scripts.

     ./t/hash.t will fail 2/4 until bugrep015834 is fixed.
     ./t/transact.t will fail test 4 occationally.
     ./t/z_ospeek.t is very sensitive to the success of the other tests.

3. perl ./be test

     Since the test database now has data, this exercises different code.

4. perl ./be installed
