All documentation is under doc-d. Read the XNotesPlus.README first, then the INSTALL.dist. To summarize: 1. edit config.h (its easy) 2. xmkmf 3. make Makefiles 4. `make' or `make pkg' if you want to create an installable distribution 5. Either following the instructions in INSTALL.dist or unpack the pkg you created with `make pkg' under a temporary directory (such as /tmp/xnotes) and then run `install'.
