Overview: Convert fml4 To fml8 (2)

2004/11: you can replace fml4's fml.pl with fml8's fml.pl.

Configure like this.

[1. Install fml8]

% su fml
% sh configure
% su root
# make install

[2. Emulate fml4]

# mv /usr/local/fml/fml.pl /usr/local/fml/fml.pl.orig
# ln -s /usr/local/libexec/fml/fml.pl   /usr/local/fml/fml.pl
# ln -s /usr/local/libexec/fml/msend.pl /usr/local/fml/msend.pl
# ln -s /usr/local/libexec/fml/mead.pl  /usr/local/fml/libexec/mead.pl

Precisely fml8 can not read fml4 configuration file. If fml8's fml.pl cannot find config.cf, it tries to convert config.ph in ML's home directory to fml8 config.cf, read it and starts to run.

The conversion is incomplete but fml8 can convert simple configurations manipulated by fml4 CUI or GUI.
