Getting grdoc

If you are interested in trying grdoc, you are welcome to upload a copy and try it. It is perl source (perl 4 and perl5 both work last time I checked) and installation amounts to simply editing grdoc and changing the $installdir variable and other things in the user option block (top of the code). We distribute the code as a .tar.gz file which is available via this hyperlink to grdoc.tar.gz. Note this file also contains grdoc.el, a set of elisp macros for inserting blocks into codes.

NOTICE to relativity group users: Since this software is very much still under development, rather than upload the .gz file which is a couple of days old, I suggest you simply link against /afs/ncsa/projects/genrel/home/pwalker/Perl/grdoc/grdoc. This is not a permanent situation, of course, it's just reccomended during this time of fast development and feature increase.

However, I cannot offer anything other than very minimal support for this package to people outside our local group. If you use it and like it, please feel free to write me and tell me so. If you find something which you consider a bug, please also write me, and I'll try to fix it. If you have a patch to the code which makes it better, send it along and I'll consider putting it in (unless it breaks something). But if you feel like writing me to tell me you hate the system, or that I shouldn't use Netscape 2.0 extensions, or that the whole idea is awful, or that you think I'm a bad programmer, please mail me at my alternate address, /dev/null; You are not obliged to use this software.

Due to this minimal support, the code is not going to undergo formal releases at this time. Rather, the tar.gz file will simply be magically updated on the web server when I have an improvement or fix. The last date this happened was (This date is kept up-to-date by the server, so this is accurate). Please compare this date with the date of your distribution before you file a bug report.

But, most of all, if you do use this software, I hope you find it useful. Please let me know if you do!
