-<h2>Prerequisites</h2>
-
-<p>
- Before you will be able to get the code to run, you will need a few
- things already installed on your system:
-</p>
-
-<ul>
-
- <li>A Unix-like operating system. It may also work with Windows
- NT, MacOS X or other systems. It has worked on Linux,
- Solaris, FreeBSD, HP-UX, and Digital UNIX. If you try it on other
- systems and get it to work, please <a href="../feedback.html">let
- us know</a> (and <a href="../feedback.html">send us patches</a>, if
- they are needed to get it to work elsewhere.)</li>
-
- <li><a href="http://www.jclark.com/sp/">SP version 1.2.1 or higher</a>.
- SP is the SGML parser used by the service. More recent versions than
- 1.2.1 will also work; we are currently using version 1.3.4.</li>
-
- <li><a href="../sgml-lib.tar.gz">A collection of DTDs and other SGML
- files</a> to validate against. You don't strictly <em>need</em> these
- on your system since SP will retrieve them off the Web if you use URIs
- in your DOCTYPEs, but you probably want them to be local for efficiency.
- (You don't need to download this tar ball if you mirror everything
- using <a href="#CVS">CVS</a>.)</li>
-
- <li>The <a href="http://www.linpro.no/lwp/">LWP Perl module</a></li>
-
- <li>A web server: we are currently running <a
- href="httpd://www.apache.org/">Apache</a> version 1.3.12, but likely any
- version will work, and other web servers may work as well.</li>
-
- <li><a href="http://www.perl.com/">Perl</a>: the <a
- href="http://dev.w3.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/validator/httpd/cgi-bin/check">main
- CGI script</a> that does everything is written in Perl.</li>
-
- <li><a href="http://www.weblint.org/">weblint</a> (optional):
- the service provides an option to run weblint on the page being
- validated. Currently this services uses version 1.017.</li>
