Description     
===========

You have to get a package to Lagos - tomorrow. You have the copy,
photographs of the technologists, a CD-R with code, and a letter 
laying out specs for the journal. 

You pack it up in a box wrapped over and over in thick plastic tape,
the kind that's impossible to cut without a serious pair of scissors.
Then you get to the post office - and just miss overnight delivery.

Later at dinner, a friend tells you what she would have done - type the
letter on her computer, drag scanned images into the letter, along with 
the copy, even toss in the files with code. It'd be in Lagos within 
minutes.

With Aileron, you can mix pictures, attachments and formatted text
all in one text view and waste time pondering just how cool it all looks.

--------

Aileron is a pretty well featured, fast, nice looking, email client 
written using the WINGs GUI and c-client mail libraries.



Compiling
=========


You will need Window Maker version 0.65.0 or later.

This branch of Aileron uses c-client. You can get it from:
ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/imap/imap.tar.Z 
After unpacking it, it should create a directory containing "imap-"
Go into it and type: 

    make slx
    

If you have any problems with libcrypt, simply append -lcrypt
to the LIBS in the Makefile.

If all's well, go into the c-client directory and copy the library 
to a nice location thus:

    cp c-client.a /usr/local/lib/libc-client.a

it's important to rename it "libc-client.a" so your linker can find it!


For the headers, copy the following files to a usual location like this:
(and I've formatted it so you can just copy-paste it :-)
    

    cp env.h env_unix.h fs.h ftl.h linkage.h mail.h \
       misc.h nl.h osdep.h pop3.h rfc822.h smtp.h tcp.h  /usr/local/include
       ^^^^^^
          |___ (why is it called misc.h!?!)
                                        
    
         
If you've put the files in the places suggested, you should have no 
problems. If you changed something, you might need to edit the
Makefile to suit.

In case you somehow missed it at the top of the page,
you will need Window Maker 0.64.0 or later.

return to the Aileron source directory

    make
    make install

By default, Aileron should be in /usr/local/GNUstep/Apps/Aileron.app/,
so run /usr/local/GNUstep/Apps/Aileron.app/Aileron and dock it.
Hope you like it :-)
