ReadMe file for the planet generating program "Planet". Copyright 1988-2009 Torben Æ. Mogensen Copyright notice: The program and manual are the copyright of Torben Æ. Mogensen. The program and its sources are provided free of charge for use, modification and redistribution for anyone who might want to do so. Redistribution of the program or parts or modifications thereof in any form must contain the original copyright notice and must in no way restrict distribution of other versions of the program over what is stipulated in this copyright notice. Maps produced by the program are not copyrighted. Disclaimer: The program is provided "as is" and no guarantee of correctness or usefulness is given. The author accepts no responsibility for any problems you may encounter during use of the program or maps generated by the program. Installation: The program and a number of files (including this manual) are provided in a Zip file called "planet.zip". Extract this using e.g. WinZip (on Windows) or unzip (linux/unix). A makefile is provided for compiling the program, so if you have make installed on your computer you can just write "make all" to compile the program. If not, you can use the following simplified method: How to compile the program: On a unix platform, just write cc planet.c -o planet -lm -O or, if using Gnu C (GCC) gcc planet.c -o planet -lm -O If you have GCC (e.g., DJGPP) installed on a Windows machine, the same method can be used, but the executable should be named "planet.exe" instead of just plain "planet". If you have another C compiler, just compile the way you normally do. Enquiries and error reports can be sent to torbenm@diku.dk. Acknowledgements: I thank Jim Burrows for contributions to the code.
