Information about UKO-II communication system

In order to run UKO-II, you have to do the following:

  1. Have a running XEmacs (you can get one at http://www.xemacs.org/).
  2. Unpack the sources.
  3. Start XEmacs, go to the menu item "Options" > "Edit Init File"
  4. Insert following lines:
        (set-frame-size (selected-frame) 85 30)        ;; to avoid bug with too
    small buttons
        (set-frame-position (selected-frame) 0 0)
    
    
            (setq uko-emacs-directory "C:\\ whatever path to \\UKO-II\\") ;;
    take care of the double backslashes!
            (load-file (concat uko-emacs-directory "lisp\\uko-ii.el"))
            (uko-init)
        (uko-set-english)
    
  5. Save the file with menu item "File" > "Save init.el".
  6. Re-run XEmacs. It should load and initialize UKO-II.
  7. Enter keypresses with mouse or NUM keypad 1,2,3,0.
  8. After typing the word, press "Word / Text" and either
    a) "Select" for taking the highlighted word in the text buffer, or
    b) "Hit List" for switching to the word list on the right side. Choose with "Previous" and "Next".
    Finish with "Select".
  9. If something goes wrong at any time using UKO-II - I'm sure it will:
    1. Make sure the cursor is inside the text buffer.
    2. Go to menu item "View" > "Un-Split (Keep This)".
    3. Press "Alt-X".
    4. Restart UKO-II by entering without quotes "uko-init" and <return>.
