Download From SourceForge

The easiest way to obtain the most stable version of the DAWGPAWS programs is to download the programs from the SourceForge project downloads page.

Anonymous Checkout via SVN

An alternative way to download the DAWGPAWS program is to anonymously checkout the SVN code from the code repository on SourceForge. This will allow you to have the most recent "cutting edge" version of all of the DAWGPAWS programs and documentation. This will allow you to have the most recent bug fixes that may not have been added to the stable release and will give you access to experimental new features as they are added. These programs will be constantly changing, and using the newest versions may introduce new bugs intoyour source.

Checking out the programs via SVN will require that you have the SVN client program installed which can bedownloaded from http://subversion.tigris.org/project_packages.html. Once you have the SVN client program installed, navigate to thelocation where you want to place the DAWGPAWS program and check out thecode. This is illustrated by the following commands where the '>' symbol represents the command prompt:
  >mkdir /home/yourname/apps
>cd /home/yourname/apps/
>svn co https://dawgpaws.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dawgpaws/trunk dawgpaws
The above command will download all the working copies of the scripts, program manuals, and emacs modes from the SourceForge repository. Thesewill be placed in the following directory structure:
  • dawgpaws
    This base directory will be created when you check out dawgpaws for the first time
    • apollo
      The tiers and type file for using the apollo program are installed here

      • htdocs
        The base directory of the html files. This includes the pages that are posted at the SourceForgeweb site.
      • cgi-bin
