        A file which may require editing is the _M_a_k_e_f_i_l_e file.
        The first few lines contain comments describing what may
        require changing.  In general these changes will relate
        to the name of your favorite C compiler, and where it
        keeps its include files.

        This distribution of _r_e_c_i_t_e is known to build on the
        following systems:

        SunOS 4.1
                The native _c_c(1) and also _g_c_c(1) are known to
                work.

        Please let the author know of any other systems you get
        _r_e_c_i_t_e working on, and the modifications necessary.

        The _r_e_c_i_t_e program was developed using gcc, however this
        is not the default in the _M_a_k_e_f_i_l_e file.  The _r_e_c_i_t_e
        program source attempts to use ANSI C features without
        compromising the ability to be compilted on older C
        compilers.  Functions mandated by the ANSI C standard are
        used, because many systems provided them, one way or
        another.  Please let the author know of any others you
        think should be added to the _c_o_m_m_o_n_/_a_n_s_i_._c file.

        You may need to use some ANSI C header files which the
        _r_e_c_i_t_e code uses, but which some systems (as yet) fail to
        provide.  You will find lines at the top of the _M_a_k_e_f_i_l_e
        file similar to
                H = -I/usr/include -Ih
        Change this to suit your system and your compiler.  The
        "h" directory must be searched last as it is intended to
        suplement your system, not replace it.

        You will need to check the include files in the "h"
        directory to see that they are suitable for your system.
        You may want to delete any that your system already has.

        All you should need to do is use the
                % mmaakkee
                _._._._l_o_t_s _o_f _o_u_t_p_u_t_._._.
                %
        command and wait.  When this finishes you should see a
        directory called _b_i_n containing the file: _r_e_c_i_t_e.

        The _r_e_c_i_t_e program comes with a test suite.  To run this
        test suite, use the command
                % mmaakkee ssuurree
                _._._._l_o_t_s _o_f _o_u_t_p_u_t_._._.
                Passed All Tests
                %

        The tests take a few seconds each, with a few very fast,
        and a couple very slow, but it varies greatly depending
        on your CPU.

        If all went well, the message
                Passed All Tests
        should appear at the end of the make.

        Put the _r_e_c_i_t_e program somewhere where users will
        automatically pick it up, such as in the _/_u_s_r_/_l_o_c_a_l_/_b_i_n
        directory.  Use the command
                # ccpp bbiinn//** //uussrr//llooccaall//bbiinn
                #

        The manuals can be installed using the commands
                # ccpp mmaann11//** //uussrr//mmaann//mmaann11
                #

        These paths are only example, where to install things
        tends to be very system specific, and I won't even try to
        guess.

        If you need assistance with the _r_e_c_i_t_e program, please do
        not hesitate to contact the author at
                Peter Miller <pmiller@bmr.gov.au>
        Any and all feedback is welcome.

        When reporting problems, please include the version
        number given by the
                % recite -version
                %
        command.

        In the _c_o_m_m_o_n_/_m_a_i_n_._h file, the is a define of _D_E_B_U_G in
        comments.  If the comments are removed, extensive
        debugging is turned on.  This causes some performance
        loss, but performs much run-time checking and adds the
        --TTRRaaccee command line option.  When followed by one or more
        file names, this turns on execution traces in those
        files.
