Installation of scanps, sortsco, select, id_pir3and simclean

The distribution is in the form of a gzip compressed tar file. Executables for sun (extension .sun), Silicon Graphics (IRIX 5.X) (extension .sgi) are included in the top directory. Documentation and example files are in the doc subdirectory.

1. Unzip and detar the distribution, then create links from /usr/local/bin (or wherever you put local software executables) to the appropriate executable files for scanps oc and select. Optionally do the same for id_pir3, simclean and sortsco.

2. Set the environment to point to the locations of the scanps.def file and variables by editing the ``scanps.environment'' file.

3. Edit the scanps.def file to define the correct locations of the matrix file and fit file on your system.

4. Ensure that the scanps.environment file is sourced before running any of the programs in this package.

You can test that all programs are working simply by typing their name. Only simclean will produce no output.
