NetObject 1.0 alpha 1 --------------------- This is the first release of NetObject. It is a module that allows you to create a TCP based client/server module distribution platform. INSTALLATION ------------ You need the Compiler-Alpha-3 module with the -DINDIRECT_BGET_MACROS definition to make NetObj run! 1) Untar and unzip the distribution archive 2) type 'perl configure' 3) type 'perl Makefile.PL' 4) run 'make' 5) run 'make install' CREATION OF ASM MODULE FILES ---------------------------- To create an asm module is fairly simple. In the directory in which the foo.pm file lies, type the following: perl -MO=Bytecode,-m,-ofoo.pmb foo.pm This will create the foo.pmb bytecompiled module. You now need to convert this to assembler code. To do so, use the file 'disassemble' in the Compiler module's directory. It works like this: disassemble foo.pmb > foo.asm Then copy the foo.asm file to the directory you specified as the assembler home directory. USING NETOBJECT --------------- See the pod! Hope you have fun. James Duncan Mon Feb 17 18:47:00 EST 1997
