gzigzag - an implementation of Ted Nelson's ZigZag structure ============================================================ NOTE!!! If you are wondering what to do, use the code in the Java/ subdirectory. Go to the Java/ subdirectory and type 'make'. If there are any problems, read Java/README. What is gzigzag ? ================= gzigzag is an implementation of the ZigZag(tm)* structure, which was originally conceived by Ted Nelson. For more information about ZigZag structure see Tuomas Lukka's 'A Gentle Introduction to Ted Nelson's ZigZag Structure', which is included in the distribution as Documentation/Gentle_Introduction. gzigzag was originally developed as a student project in the Department of Mathematical Information Technology at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland. It has been agreed that the gzigzag name and distribution are under the care of Ted Nelson, and are currently maintained for him by the Jyväskylä group. Directories =========== Java/ -- Java version, standalone and network client. Modules/ -- Various modules for the Java gzigzag Documentation/ -- guess C++/ -- The C++ standalone clientserver. OLD, NOT USEFUL ANY MORE Perl/ -- Perl code for network. NOT YET FUNCTIONAL Currently, the Java version is the one undergoing most development and having the most functionality (much that is not found in the C++ version). The C++ version has not been touched since the last millennium and the Perl code is waiting to be tested with the updated Java code (as a TCP/IP cellserver).
