"How to Use the Vortex Compiler and Environments"
To install and configure Vortex at your site, follow the instructions on the Vortex release web page at:
http://www.cs.washington.edu/research/projects/cecil/www/Release
or in the INSTALL file availble by anonymous ftp from:
ftp.cs.washington.edu/pub/cecil/INSTALL
The installation process creates a sharable, baseline tree for Vortex and any languages to be compiled by Vortex (e.g. Cecil). If only one person is going to use the Vortex installation, then it is probably simplest to place your source and gen directories right in the baseline tree. If more than one user will be writing Cecil programs or otherwise modifying the baseline tree, then they will need their own copies of any Cecil source code they plan to modify. If several people are going to be making substantial changes to Cecil compiler/stdlib code you'll probably want to set up some kind of revision control system. We use CVS, available via ftp from ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/.
