Downloading the Current Version of LCB

The most recent LCB Working Group version of LCB is on the ftp.nero.net anonymous FTP site, in the directory pub/pancake. The files are README.XLcb and xlcb.5.23.96.tar.Z

Instructions for downloading LCB:

An LCB installation requires the following software:
- Tk 4.0 (exactly)
- Tcl 7.4 (exactly)
- GNU gcc 2.5.2 or later
If you need to determine whether or not Tcl/Tk is installed on your system, click here.
If you need information on obtaining Tcl/Tk or GNU gcc, click here.
See the LCB installation README.XLcb file. Note: you can save this file using your browser's File menu.
Download the LCB compressed tar file.
- If you are running Netscape, this will retrieve the file xlcb.5.23.96.tar.Z in your chosen directory. To uncompress and untar this file (assuming you have cd'd to the directory where it is located) type:
```
        Prompt> zcat xlcb.5.23.96.tar.Z | tar -xf -
```
- If you are running Mosaic Version 2.6, this file will be uncompressed on the fly, and you will have to choose a file name (and directory location) for it. To untar this file (assuming you use its original file name, xlcb.5.23.96.tar), type:
```
        Prompt> tar xf xlcb.5.23.96.tar
```
Follow the instructions given in README.XLcb.

If you have Tcl7.3/Tk3.6 installed, and do not wish to upgrade to Tcl7.4/Tk4.0, the previous version of LCB is still available but is no longer supported.

Also available is ipd2lcf, a translator to convert output from Intel's IPD debugger to the lightweight corefile format for use with LCB.
