Requirements for installing the package

The only requirements for installing the package are:

1. A machine running the UNIX operating system.
2. An ANSI C compiler.
3. A version of make which supports include files
4. 16-60 megabytes (depending on system) of disk space for the source and compiled binary. If space is an issue, then the compiled binaries may be ``stripped'' by cd'ing to $CWPROOT/bin and typing "strip *".

The package has been successfully installed on:

• IBM RS6000
• SUN SPARC STATIONS
• HP 9000 series machines
• HP Apollo
• NeXT
• Convex
• DEC
• Silicon Graphics
• PC's running LINUX, PRIME TIME, SCO, FREE BSD, ESIX, and NeXTSTEP 486
