This file describes the installation process of the Cenon Astro.bundle

B. Mac OS-X
C. OpenStep

A. GNUstep
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Get the Astro.bundle sources Astro-?.??-?.????.tar.bz2 either on CD
   or download. The Astro folder must reside in the same place as the
   Cenon source folder to allow access from the bundle into the Cenon
   source tree!

   tar fvxj Astro-?.??.tar.bz2

2. To compile (and install) the bundle:

   cd to the Astro source directory
   make
   su
   make install

3. Copy the Astro fonts from the font directory to
   your type 1 font folder(s):

   cp -R Fonts/Astro.font   /usr/GNUstep/Local/Library/Fonts/
   cp    Fonts/Astro.[pa]f* /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts/
   (or whereever your fonts are)

4. If you want to use the high precision NASA ephemeris data, download
   the AstroEphemeris-?.??-?.tar.bz2 file.
   Copy the extracted Ephemeris folder into the Astro-Library folder
   (e.g. /usr/GNUstep/Local/Library/Cenon/Astro/).

To run the Astro bundle just restart Cenon
