                       REMOTE ANDREW DEMO SERVICE
              ____________________________________________

The Remote Andrew Demo service will allow you to run Andrew software
from a remote "server" with a minimum of overhead -- you don't even need
to have the software installed at your site. 

All you need is a machine on the Internet which runs the X11 window
system, release 4 or later (although release 3 may suffice in a few
cases).  A simple "finger" command will get you started.  You'll be able
to compose multimedia documents, navigate through the interactive Andrew
Tour, and use the Andrew Message System to browse through CMU's three
thousand bulletin boards and newsgroups.
______________
Getting Started

To receive instructions right on your screen, type the
following command on your UNIX-based machine:

	finger @atk.cs.cmu.edu

Special Andrew Fonts

You need a small set of special fonts.  If your
X server is R5 (release 5) or later, you can access these fonts using
the command:

	xset fp+ tcp/fontserv.itc.cmu.edu:7000

When you are done with the demo please remember to run:
 
	xset fp- tcp/fontserv.itc.cmu.edu:7000

If your X server is R4 or earlier, you will need to take the following
steps to obtain copies of the fonts. 

   1.Make a directory where you will place the fonts. 
   2.Get the archive of fonts, afonts.tar.Z. (The archive is 74K long.)
	Store it in that directory. 
   3.cd to that directory. 
   4.Extract the font files from afonts.tar.Z with the command 
     	uncompress < afonts.tar.Z | tar xf - If you are running a version
	 of X11 earlier than release 4, you may also
         need to convert the bdf-style font files with bdftosnf, then run
         mkfontdir. Consult your local documentation. 
   5.Place the current directory in your font path with the command 
    	 xset fp+ /directory/name/here/   Be sure to include the trailing /. 

You now have the fonts you need, and can proceed with the demo.
_________________
Remote X Access

The Remote Andrew Demo server machine needs to be
placed in your X11 access-control list, to permit the server to open
windows on your display. The command is:

	xhost +atk.itc.cmu.edu 
__________________
Running the Demo

Once you have performed these steps, you are ready
to run the demo.  If you want the demo to run on the main display of the
machine you are fingering from, you may simply:

	finger run-demo@atk.itc.cmu.edu 

If you are using an X terminal, or otherwise need more control in
specifying your display, you should use this command (brackets indicate
optional sections):

	finger run-demo-[SERVER]:DISPLAY[.SCREEN]@atk.itc.cmu.edu 

	SERVER is the Internet hostname of your X server (optional) 
	:DISPLAY is the number of your display (required, including colon) 
	.SCREEN is the number of your screen (optional, including dot) 

Examples: 

	finger run-demo-foo.bar.baz.edu:0.0@atk.itc.cmu.edu 
	finger run-demo-:1.0@atk.itc.cmu.edu
