Running SNePS 2.8 on UB CSE Linux Computers

Preparation
  1. If you do not have a file named .emacs in your home directory, copy ~shapiro/.emacs into your home directory.

    If you do have a file named .emacs in your home directory, copy Lisp and ACL related material (and anything else that looks interesting) from ~shapiro/.emacs into your .emacs file.

  2. Copy ~shapiro/.emacs-for-acl.el into your home directory.
  3. If you know how, you may edit the above two files to detach them from Shapiro's files, and instead use yours.
