     TOOLS:  GHOSTWRITER

     The purpose of ghostwriter is to create C source code and
     man pages for the application program you are writing.  The
     SOURCE of information for ghostwriter are the *.pane file
     (User Interface Specification File), and the *.prog file
     (Program Specification file).  The DESTINATION of extracted
     information is one or more of five files:  a *.c file, a *.h
     file, an l*.c file, a *.1 file, and a *.3 file, where '*' is
     the name of the program being generated.

     Before clicking on "GHOSTWRITER", you must fill out the name
     of the program, "Program Name", that you wish to generate.
     It must be the same as the "*" on your *.pane and *.prog
     files.  Do not use a configuration file (*.conf) until you
     are very familiar with the ghost routines.  Since you are
     not using a config file, the install logical should be set
     to "Install in Local Directory".

     In most cases, the program has more than just driver code,
     though it is possible for your driver to rely on other
     existing libraries.  So typically, you will have the logi-
     cals set to "Library Code" and "Man3 Page" so that these
     files are generated.

     The success of the "GHOSTWRITER" is reported in a pop-up
     help window.
