User Manual

• Requirement of POD on your system is detailed in Requirements section.
• Installation is detailed in Installation section.
• Setting POD DB options is detailed in Administration of POD section.
• Samples of POD DBs and their files can be found at http://www.ming-yi.org/work.html.  Please go there to check out NOT ONLY how the sample DBs work, but also the source files. (note that although www.ming-yi.org uses a Unix server, POD for Windows works the same way).
• This manual section is mainly used for explaining the files inside POD package and how to use POD-specific tags to create your own DB html files that serve as the interface between users and your DB.
• A note for POD for Windows user who wants to migrate to Unix system : On Windows, all file names are case-insensitive (i.e., "fldb.exe" = "FLDB.exe"); However, on Unix "fldb.exe" is not the same as "fLdb.exe" or "Fldb.exe" etc. You must modify the file names and html forms accordingly. An excellent free tool for batch replace on Windows is BK ReplaceEm from www.download.com. Using this tool you can replace contents for many files at once. If you're familiar with grep on Unix, you may use that tool too.
