SEP.idoc.rules constitutes only a part of the essential wisdom of interactive documents. Other things you need to worry about are establishing the overall seplib environment and X environment. For this we refer you to Claerbout (1991) and Dellinger and Tálas (1992). Also, on any sizable document, there will be libraries and executables that figure-building cakefiles assume to be present but are not actually built by those figure-building cakefiles. In my textbook Claerbout (1992) the building process requires a preliminary tour of all the figure-building cakefiles with a cake install which builds a handful of executable main programs needed in the book that are not generally needed by the whole of SEP. Recently, we have been experimenting with another arrangement where such programs are kept in a Src directory, and cakefiles that need them use a symbolic link to the Src directory.

We also suggest a way to organize your paper directory; this is described in a companion paper by Karrenbach 1993. It can be found on CDROM in the directory /sepcd5/sep77/martin2. The example paper follows exactly the recommended layout.
