Using Epigram

The Epigram files from http://www.e-pig.org/ work fine on my system (OS X), although I had to install xemacs recompile the binary and adapt the startup script.

Install XEmacs. (I used Fink for that, so 'apt-get install xemacs' did the trick.)

To recompile the binary:

• Go into the src/ directory
• Edit the Makefile, remove '-package lang' from FIXED_FLAGS (for GHC > 6.4)
• make

To adapt the startup script

• Remove the cygwin stuff, since it uses cut with options not in the BSD version of cut.

To start Epigram, start X11 first and then run ./epigram from an X11 terminal. Note that it won't work from a OS X terminal (you'll get the message "XEmacs: standard input is not a tty").
