-\subsubsection{INT}
-
-The [[INT]] subdirectory is a machine-generated, system-independent
-top-level directory containing source code. Axiom builds from literate
-sources. This work only needs to be done once at the first build. The
-[[INT]] directory is a cache of work. It can be erased at will.
-However steps such as generating lisp code from spad code, while
-done by machine, are system-independent. Therefore this subdirectory,
-once built, can reside with the [[$(top_srcdir)/src]] subdirectory on CD
-or NFS as a read-only branch.
-
-\subsubsection{ZIPS}
-The [[ZIPS]] subdirectory contains particular versions of subsystems
-that Axiom needs in tar-gzip format. The Makefiles will unpack them.
-It also contains patch files to these subsystems. The Makefile will
-apply those patches. Then it will configure and build the required
-subsystems.
-
-\subsubsection{TMP}
-The [[TMP]] directory is used in place of [[/tmp]] in order to
-avoid writing outside of our build tree.
-
-Note that TMP is a workspace in the current build directory. It is
-working space for temporary files since we cannot assume that
-we can write outside our own tree. Output from commands like
-the [[document]] command will generally be written to the
-[[TMP/trace]] file. If the build seems to hang while making a
-document file then check this file. It will contain the output
-of the latex command and the likely error in the tex file.
-
-\subsubsection{SPADBIN}
-The [[SPADBIN]] directory is the path to the executable
-binary directory of the shipped system. The directory contains
-all of the executable commands, such as the [[document]]
-command. The [[document]] command lives in the [[src/scripts]]
-subdirectory and will be copied to [[SPADBIN]] before we start
-walking the build subtree.
-
\subsubsection{INC}
The [[INC]] directory contains all the include files for the C
programs.
-\subsubsection{CCLBASE}
-The [[CCLBASE]] subdirectory contains the path to the [[CCL]]
-version of lisp. This was the original lisp used by NAG.
-
-\subsubsection{The [[NOISE]] variable }
-The [[NOISE]] variable is used in the calls to the document
-command. In general, where the document command is called in
-the Makefiles it is called with the following form:
-\begin{verbatim}
- ${SPADBIN}/document ${NOISE} foo
-\end{verbatim}
-with the default value of {\bf NOISE} being:
-\begin{verbatim}
- NOISE="-o ${TMP}/trace"
-\end{verbatim}
-
-The reason [[NOISE]] exists is that the latex command will
-generate a page of output which is uninteresting during the
-make. However if there is a latex syntax error in a pamphlet
-file the make will continue past the error due to the nonstopmode
-flag. To see the actual error message rerun the make as:
