# boxes Win32 port Information
|
|
|
|
**Date:** 16-Mar-2017
|
|
|
|
This is the Win32 Version of boxes, built from the official source tarball.
|
|
Many thanks to **Ron Aaron** for making this Windows build possible!
|
|
|
|
General information may be found in the generic README file provided with
|
|
this archive and at https://boxes.thomasjensen.com/, the boxes home page.
|
|
Note that the generic README file is intended for UNIX users, so some
|
|
things don't translate literally (e.g., you would have to type Ctrl-Z
|
|
instead of Ctrl-D to signal end of file, etc.).
|
|
|
|
The system-wide config file is assumed to reside in the same directory as
|
|
the boxes executable. (This is the case when you unpack the archive.) The
|
|
name of the config file is assumed to be the same as the name of the
|
|
executable, only with a `.cfg` extension instead of `.exe`. As with the UNIX
|
|
version, boxes still looks for a file called *boxes.cfg* in the directory
|
|
pointed to by the environment variable `HOME`, and for a file pointed to by
|
|
the environment variable `BOXES`.
|
|
|
|
The standard troff format manual page is part of the package (boxes.1),
|
|
but knowing that in the Windows world there may be some people who don't
|
|
have troff installed on their systems, an HTML version of the page is
|
|
provided.
