------- Additional Comments From pspencer at dmsolutions.ca  2004-11-11 17:55 -------
(DANIEL: there is a question for you below ... keep reading)

* In the "Note to CWC2 Users" section, first 4 words ... don't make sense, not
sure what they should be though.

* The MS4W Installer section should mention that MS4W comes with a web server
and all necessary supporting files for Chameleon.  This is a good choice if you
don't already have a web server running.  If you are already using a web server,
follow the customized installations to integrate Chameleon into your existing
web sites.

* Windows required technologies should include Technology: Web Server Details:
for example, Apache, IIS or PWS Where to Go...: www.apache.org or www.microsoft.com

* Windows section: unzip Chameleon 1.99 creates following base directories -
include docs and admin, remove htdocs_admin and html

* in the example for ms_tmp, it says c:\tmp would be web-accessible and
webuser-writable - it should be c:\tmp\ms_tmp

* aliases should be brought up to date with the ms4w config files in
ms4w/httpd.d/chameleon_httpd.conf - several directories are missing (like docs,
admin)

* in the linux section, we need to mention that php needs to have both gd and
freetype support, normally this means running 'configure' with --with-gd=<dir>
--with-freetype-dir=<dir> and the output from running phpinfo would include a gd
section like:

        gd
GD Support         enabled
GD Version         2.0 or higher
FreeType Support     enabled
FreeType Linkage     with freetype
GIF Read Support     enabled
GIF Create Support     enabled
JPG Support         enabled
PNG Support         enabled
WBMP Support         enabled

we are interested in GD Version = 2.0 or higher AND FreeType Linkage = with
freetype (not with TTF)

* (DANIEL) there are instructions for wmsparse on solaris ... I've recently made
modifications to wmsparse, do we need to update this section?  Update the binaries?

* in the WMSPARSE section, we should mention that there is a setting for this in
the chameleon.xml file and it should be updated to point at the correct
executable file otherwise the slow parser will be used.

* In the For More Information section, please include a note about bugzilla.  I
really want people to file bugs.  The mailing list should be used for questions,
but if someone runs into something that is a bug, they should file it in
bugzilla ...
