So right now it looks like even those instructions are outdated.
Not too surprising, as they were written in 2005...
Could maybe need some updating on the directories ?
The very minimum is to unzip, chmod and then it's all go, IF one
bothers to write the full path to dmd each time.
Doing the chmod, and converting from DOS linefeeds,
would not be needed if it shipped as a tarball too.
True.
Seems the man files have *some* lines with ^M^J, some with only ^J.
Actually, Walter could still have a single tree, but just have a shell
script on a linux machine that takes as input the newly created Windows
.zip and output the .tar file (or even better, a .tgz).
The script would essentially unpack, chmod, (maybe rm unneeded crap),
and then tar the tree.
That sounds complicated, (it isn't!) but I fear that one can't avoid the
chmod if the tree is tarred on Windows, because there is no x bit in the
directory listing. (IIRC)
