YOU (!) want to have an ix/MBox version talking your countries language?

No problem! You just have to do the following:

	- move to "./src/languages"
	- type "cp english.cmd xxxx.cmd"
	- type "cp english.hlp xxxx.hlp"
	- type "cp english.shh xxxx.shh"
	- type "cp english.msg xxxx.msg"

The "xxxx" of course stands for your languages name!

First of all you should edit "xxxx.msg". This file includes nearly
all messages of the ix/MBox. Just translate all the lines - be aware that
some output lines have been split into several definitions. You have to leave
those structures unchanged (but translated, of course).

After that you have to make up your command set. Edit "xxxx.cmd" - this job
is not as easy as it seems, cause you have to mind the alphabetical order of
the various items! (Cd, CHat, Dir, DIalog ...)
                    ^   ^^    ^    ^^
The helpfiles "xxxx.hlp" and "xxxx.shh" are quite simple to build. Print out
your "xxxx.cmd" and then "english.shh" file (for the arguments/options of the
various commands). You can follow the "xxxx.cmd" list as a flow charts ...


Now you should append an entry for your language to the Makefile. Just copy
the "english:;" block (about 17 lines) to something like "xxxx:;". Substitute
every "english" pattern to "xxxx". Now you can type "make xxxx" and you will
get an ix/MBox version for your language ...


It would be very much appreciated if you'd send your language files to me so
that I can make them part of the next ix/MBox distribution. Thanx!
