Tcl-based DUA

				ANNOUNCEMENT

     I am pleased to announce a DUA for the X Window System and ISODE 8.0
     using the Tcl package.  This is a beta release.


				  FEATURES

     Two styles of interaction: browsing, using a navigation window;
     and, searching, using the UFN algorithm.

     With browsing, you double-click on an entry: if you double-click
     with the left button, then any subordinates to that entry are
     listed; instead, if you double-click with the right button, then a
     new window containing information about that entry will appear.

     With searching, you enter the name, organization and
     locality/country of the person you're interested in, e.g.,
     "rose, dbc, us".

     When an entry is displayed, pointer, audio, and image attributes
     are available as command buttons.  In addition, the UFN algorithm
     knows about naming links for organizations and units, and will
     follow them according to a user-supplied preference list.

			        AVAILABILITY

     There are two distributions: a source and a binary distribution.
     The software is available ONLY via anonymous FTP.  The instructions
     are below.  If you do not have FTP-access to the Internet, you are
     out of luck -- NO EXCEPTIONS. 

     You should probably use the source distribution, unless

	- you have a SPARCstation 2 running SunOS Release 4.1.1, and

	- you don't have the patience to get ISODE 8.0 and Tk 3.2

     It is recommended that you use the source distribution, even if the
     above two conditions hold.  If you retrieve the binary distribution:

	# cd /usr/local
	# uncompress < fredtcl-sunos4.tar.Z | tar xvpf -
	% rehash
	% fredtcl

     NOTE WELL: the binary distribution contains ISODE run-time
     configuration files.  If you are already running the ISODE, then
     you do NOT want to overwrite your existing files.  Use the source
     distribution, eh?
