-PSPP conforms to the GNU Coding Standards. PSPP is written in, and
-requires for proper operation, ANSI/ISO C. You might want to
-additionally note the following points:
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item
-The compiler and linker must allow for significance of several
-characters in external identifiers. The exact number is unknown but at
-least 31 is recommended.
-
-@item
-The @code{int} type must be 32 bits or wider.
-
-@item
-The recommended compiler is gcc 2.7.2.1 or later, but any ANSI compiler
-will do if it fits the above criteria.
-@end itemize
-
-Many UNIX variants should work out-of-the-box, as PSPP uses GNU
-autoconf to detect differences between environments. Please report any
-problems with compilation of PSPP under UNIX and UNIX-like operating
-systems---portability is a major concern of the author.
-
-The pages below give specific instructions for installing PSPP
-on each type of system mentioned above.

-To install PSPP under a UNIX-like operating system, follow the steps
-below in order. Some of the text below was taken directly from various
-Free Software Foundation sources.
+@pspp{} is written in ISO C and primarily targeted at UNIX-like
+environments. To install @pspp{} under a UNIX-like operating system,
+follow the steps below.

@cindex GNU configure
You can optionally supply some options to @code{configure} to
give it hints about how to do its job. Type @code{./configure --help}
-to see a list of options. One of the most useful options is
-@samp{--with-checker}, which enables the use of the Checker memory
-debugger under supported operating systems. Checker must already be
-installed to use this option. Do not use @samp{--with-checker} if you
-are not debugging PSPP itself.

-@cindex @file{Makefile}
-@cindex @file{config.h}
-@cindex @file{pref.h}
-@cindex makefile
-@item
-(optional) Edit @file{Makefile}, @file{config.h}, and @file{pref.h}.
-These files are produced by @code{configure}. Note that most PSPP
-settings can be changed at runtime.
-
-@file{pref.h} is only generated by @code{configure} if it does not
-already exist. (It's copied from @file{prefh.orig}.)

Become the superuser and type @samp{make install} to install the
-PSPP binaries, by default in @file{/usr/local/bin/}. The
+@pspp{} binaries, by default in @file{/usr/local/bin/}. The
directory @file{/usr/local/share/pspp/} is created and populated with
-files needed by PSPP at runtime. This step will also cause the
-PSPP documentation to be installed in @file{/usr/local/info/},
+files needed by @pspp{} at runtime. This step will also cause the
+@pspp{} documentation to be installed in @file{/usr/local/info/},
but only if that directory already exists.
