Watson</a> <li> <a href="LICENSE.html">The K42 License (the GNU LGPL)</a> </ul> <p> The majority of documentation in K42 is contained in sgml files in a subdirectory called "doc" in each source directory. There are a series of top-level documents that provide help with getting started on the system (in the doc directory - one level down from here). There is a makefile in each doc directory to make documentation at that level. Executing a make world from the top-level doc directory will build all html documentation throughout the system (other choices are world_ps for postscript and world_all for both html and postscript). For convenience of pointers to many of the html files get built into a file called docPointers in the doc directory. </p> <h3>Papers</h3> <p> There are a series of technical white papers in the doc/white-papers directory. The white-papers have been targetted at specific aspects of K42 with a particular focus on discussing why particular design decisions were made. These and other papers targetted at conferences can be found on the <a href="http://www.research.ibm.com/K42/index.html"> K42 </a> home page. </p> <p> <h3>Getting started on the system</h3> There are a couple of documents useful in starting to work with K42. The below links are to the doc directory and require a make in that directory before the links will work. However, all the files are human readable and can be edited with any standard text editor. <ul> <li><a href="doc/gettingStarted.html">getting started </a>    (doc/gettingStarted.sgml) <li><a href="doc/buildingOnx86.html">building K42 on x86 </a>    (doc/runningK42.sgml) <li><a href="doc/runningK42.html">running the system </a>    (doc/runningK42.sgml) <li><a href="doc/Style.html">a simple style document </a>    (doc/STYLE.sgml) </ul> </p>
