BOZO CLOWN  These are command line utilities for manipulating media files that work well. You need to be comfortable working in the Terminal and you need to read the first page of info displayed when you double-click the installer. If you want a GUI app look elsewhere but don't ding this one for not being that app.

Documentation can be viewed using the command:

open /usr/local/share/doc/QTCoffee/How\ To.rtf

REDAGE  ........when installing one should, read the whereabouts. it say´s at least 3 times, what gets installed where.

and for all the GUI addicts out there, this is a faceless

binary matter.......intended for the ...........arrrgh.......

TERMINAL.

..........and in the terminal, you MUST not only be able to read, you must also be able to write

OXOLYT  Didn't install. Installer just wrote something about errors during installs - try again. NO explanation about what went wrong. I don't like this: zero points.

AET  As stated on their webpage:

"By default, QTCoffee installs into the privileged directory /usr/local. If you wish to install it somewhere else, you can download the manual install package."

B  so. I downloaded and installed.

No indciation of where it put anything.

No file called QTCoffee shows up anywhere.

No manual. No read me. no nuttin.

Nothing in the Application folder with any recognizable name.

How are you supposed to:

(1) find this?

(2) figure out how it works?

At this point in time reading the readme/manual is necessary. QTCoffee does not have an aqua GUI.

AET  That is, look to their website for such reading materials.

3AM COFFEE SOFTWARE  QTCoffee is a set of command-line tools. They are accessed by typing their name on the command-line. This is the way all command-line tools work. The documentation is installed as a set of man pages; there is also a Read Me and several other RTF documents whose locations are noted in the man pages.

The first sentence of the first panel of the installer tells you where they are installed. That panel also tells you how to get at the documentation.

We tried our best to help novices like you to find the application and its documentation by including this information in the installer, in the Read Me, and on our web site. We know of no better way of informing the user where a command-line tool goes. It's not like a GUI app where you just double click an icon. If you have a better idea, please email us.
