AUXBIN -- This directory contains a miscellaneous collection of prebuilt
utiltity programs for A/UX, copied from my system.  The criteria for
selecting what was included here were that 1) it might conceivably be
useful, 2) it must be self-contained, i.e., when installed, it does not
require that files be installed all over the place before the utility can be
run.  Unfortunately some of the most important utilities could not be
included because they do not meet this criteria and would be too difficult
to install and run without detailed instructions (you can still get them off
the net and build them yourself).  I have tried to include needed runtime
files such as man pages or resource defaults files where needed.  If you
don't know what a particular utility program is and can't figure it out from
the files provided, you probably don't want to use it.  In many cases, newer
versions of these utilities than what is provided here may be available on
the net.  THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED AS-IS AND IS NOT SUPPORTED BY THE IRAF
PROJECT.  Nonetheless, I hope it will be of some use.

Notes

1.  A program such as "foo" is the executable.   "foo.n.z" is the nroffed
    and "pack"ed manpage for A/UX.  You put this somewhere where MAN can find
    it and it will know how to display it.  "foo.ad" is the X applications
    defaults file.   This is renamed to, e.g., "Foo" and placed in a
    directory somewhere in your applications defaults search path.  If you
    don't have a path set up, you can put the file in the directory
    /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults.  A "*.tar.Z" file is used if there are too
    many files to be placed individually in auxbin.

2.  When there are two versions of a program in the archive, e.g.

	xarchie
	xarchie-1.3

    the most recent version is the one with the short name.  I update these
    as new versions are generated.
