This is a port of GNU Marst 2.7 to MSDOS/DJGPP.

  GNU Marst is an Algol to C translator.  It includes three components:
  *  the translator, MARST, which allows translating Algol 60 programs to
     the C programming language;

  *  the library, ALGLIB, which contains pre-compiled standard Algol 60
     procedures and additional library routines. This library is used at
     the linking stage.

  *  the converter, MACVT, which allows converting Algol 60 programs from
     some other (old) representations to the MARST representation.

  The input language of the translator is the hardware representation of
  full (i.e. Level 0) Algol 60 as described in the IFIP document:

  Modified Report on the Algorithmic Language Algol 60, The Computer
  Journal, v.19, No.4, Nov. 1976, pp.364-79. (This document is an
  official standard IFIP document. It is *not* a part of GNU MARST.)



1.:     DJGPP specific changes.
        =======================

        Only minor changes to the Makefile.in have been done.
        All changes I have done against the original GNU distribution
        are documented in the diffs file stored in the /djgpp directory
        of the source package.

        For further information about GNU Marst please read the info docs and NEWS file.


2.:     Installing the binary package.
        ==============================

2.1.:   Copy the binary distribution into the top DJGPP installation
        directory and unzip the binary distribution running *ONE* of
        the following commands:
          unzip32 marst27b.zip      or
          djtarx marst27b.zip       or
          pkunzip -d marst27b.zip

2.2.:   To create an entry for the marst info docs in your dir file,
        run from the top DJGPP installation directory the command:
          install-info --info-dir=./info ./info/marst.info
        For futher information about GNU Marst please read the info docs.


3.:     Building the binaries from sources.
        ===================================

3.1.:   Create a temporary directory and copy the source package into the
        directory.  If you download the source distribution from one of the
        DJGPP sites, just unzip it preserving the directory structure
        running *ONE* of the following commands:
          unzip32 marst27s.zip      or
          djtarx marst27s.zip       or
          pkunzip -d marst27s.zip

3.2.:   To build the binaries you will need the following binary packages:
          djdev203.zip (or a later but NOT a prior version)
          bsh205bbr3.zip (or a later but NOT a prior version)
          gccNNNb.zip, gppNNN.zip, bnuNNNb.zip, makNNNb.zip, filNNNb.zip,
          shlNNNb.zip, txtNNNb.zip, txiNNNb.zip, grepNNNb.zip, sedNNNb.zip,
          pcreNNNb.zip, mktmpNNb.zip and gwkNNNb.zip.

        NNN represents the latest version number of the binary packages.  All
        this packages can be found in the /v2gnu directory of any
        ftp.delorie.com mirror.
        You will need bsh205bbr3.zip or later and *NOT* a prior version or
        the build will fail.  The same applies to djdev203.zip.

3.3.:   The package has been configured for both DJGPP 2.03 and DJGPP 2.04.
        There is a separate build directory for DJGPP 2.03 and for DJGPP 2.04
        under the top srcdir (aka marst-2.7).  To build the binaries
        using the 2.03 version of DJGPP cd into _build.203; if you prefer to
        build the binaries using DJGPP 2.04 cd into _build.204.  If for some
        reason you want to reconfigure the package cd into the corresponding
        build directory and run the following commands:
          del config.cache
          make clean
          ..\djgpp\config ./..

        Please note that you *MUST* delete the config.cache file in the djgpp
        subdir or you will not really reconfigure the sources because the
        configuration informations will be read from the cache file instead
        of being newly computed.

        config.bat, among other things, will start the configure script passing
        to it a couple of arguments.  You can control these argument passing the
        following command line arguments to config.bat:
          nls or no-nls, default no-nls.  No NLS support.
          cache or no-cache, default cache.
          dep or no-dep, default no-dep.  No dependency tracking.
        All other configure specific options are not set by config.bat so their
        values are left as they are.  If no arguments are passed to config.bat
        then the default values are used.


        To build the programs in a directory other than where the sources are,
        you must add the parameter that specifies the source directory,
        e.g:
          x:\src\gnu\marst-2.7\djgpp\config x:/src/gnu/marst-2.7

        Lets assume you want to build the binaries in a directory placed on a
        different drive (z:\build in this case) from where the sources are,
        then you will run the following commands:
          z:
          md \build
          cd \build
          x:\src\gnu\marst-2.7\djgpp\config x:/src/gnu/marst-2.7

        The order of the options and the srcdir option does not matter.  You
        *MUST* use forward slashes to specify the source directory.

        The batch file will set same environment variables, make MSDOS specific
        modifications to the Makefile.in's and supply all other needed options
        to the configure script.

3.4.:   To compile the package run from the directory where you have configured
        the sources the command:
          make

3.5.:   Now you can run the tests if you like.  Start the command:
          make check

        All tests shall pass.

3.6.:   To install the binaries and info docs run the following command from
        the directory where you have configured the sources:
          make install

        This will install the products into your DJGPP installation tree given
        by the default prefix "/dev/env/DJDIR".  If you prefer to install them
        into some other directory you will have to set prefix to the appropriate
        value:
          make install prefix=z:/some/other/place


        Send suggestions and bug reports concerning the DJGPP port to
        comp.os.msdos.djgpp or djgpp@delorie.com.
        Report bugs that are Marst specific to <bug-marst@gnu.org>.
