How to install TkPasMan: 1. The TkPasMan program consists of just one executable file, named `tkpasman'. By default this file will be installed in /usr/local/bin. When you want another directory, change the BINDIR variable in the file `config'. 2. Just type: make make install (the last command as root) That's it! If ever the build script might not find your Tcl/Tk wish shell, please insert the path to wish manually in the WISH variable in the file `config'. You can also set other preferences in the `config' file. When you want to uninstall, type: make uninstall (again as root). Notes: 1. As of version 2.2pre, the .tkpasman file format changed slightly. This will not break your old data, however. Your old data will be imported, but older versions of TkPasMan might not read the file correctly. When running the new tkpasman for the first time, it will prompt you to convert the password file to the new format. Also the configfile format changed, to be more safe. The new tkpasman will nicely import your old config options, but not save them until you tell it to do so. 2. TkPasMan contains optional support for encryption of the password file using openssl. When you have openssl installed, it will automatically be built in during the `make' process. If you have openssl installed, but don't get the message saying 'Enabled OpenSSL support' please edit the file `config' to add the path to OPENSSL. Encryption is turned off by default, but you can enable it using the Options menu. The encryption method can be chosen in the `config' file. The `bf', `des3' or `rc' algorithms are recommended. See the `enc.1' manual page that comes with OpenSSL. 3. When you run TkPasMan for the first time, it will create a file .tkpasman in your home directory, with permissions 0600. When you use the program, the file is locked, to prevent two instances of TkPasMan to interfere with each other. User preferences are saved in .tkpasmanrc in your home directory. 4. Of course you need a fresh install of Tcl/Tk 8.3. I apologize for requiring such a new version, but it has quite a few advantages I like to make use of. So I recommend you to upgrade to the 8.3 version of Tcl/Tk. Would you really not want to do that, you can try to modify the program. The -listvariable feature is (among others) the most important new feature I use in TkPasMan. If you have build problems, e.g. the build script fails with strange errors, don't hesitate to contact me!! This software comes WITHOUT WARRANTY, I am NOT LIABLE for ANY DAMAGE or lost data, as outlined in the file COPYING. But, please REPORT BUGS! Have fun! Wilbert
