Getting started with Andrew at Athena
	Updated 11/29/90

This directory contains a complete binary distribution of the Andrew
Toolkit for use with DEC VAX and IBM RT computers under the X
window system.

The Andrew Toolkit is a graphical user interface and application
development environment developed at Carnagie Mellon University.  

Athena is offering Andrew applications and the toolkit development
environment on an AS-IS experimental basis.  The ez multi-media
document preparation application, and some of its affiliated
media-manipulation objects have been included as Athena supported
document preparation tools.

The Andrew help system contains overviews and well-written on-line
documentation.  Run it by typing:

    ahelp

The multi-media editor (the star of the Andrew show)  is run by
typing:

    ez

The file /mit/andrew/NEWS contains up to the minute news of changes to
the Andrew Toolkit and Applications.  It is a good idea to read this often.

Athena users can add themselves to the 'andrew-news' mailing list
There is an Andrew Toolkit discuss meeting where people debate aspects
of the Andrew Toolkit and Applications as they are offered at MIT.

If you are interested in more information or encounter problems using
Athena Andrew, contact Bill Cattey:

    wdc@athena.mit.edu	(Electronic Mail)
    e40-349		(MIT Interdepartmental Mail)
    253-0140		(Telephone)

He is in charge of making Andrew do what Athena users want.  He can
answer questions about MIT specific changes that have been made, or
should be made.  He can also answer questions about other Andrew
applications such as its application builder 'ADEW' and its mail
system 'messages'.

Your feedback is important to Athena as it considers options in
evolving document preparation tools.
