Quick Start
-----------

First, you need to install the UH original software. Change into the
"codas3c" directory, e.g. one level up from where this file resides and run

  ./make/sethost.prl

You will get list of hosts the software can be compiled for. Choose the one
corresponding to your machine. If your host is not 'lnx', copy the first
lines (DFLAGS with -D flags) of file 

  ./make/lnx/makefile.dep 
  
into file

  ./make/host/makefile.dep, 

where host is the host name selected from the list. Check that directive
CFLAGS in the same file contains $(DFLAGS) so to activate these flags at
compile time. Then remove or modify the flags. Information about them can be
found in the installation help file (see below). Leaving them all will just
add features to the original UH software. If this is the first time you use
the software, the most imprtant are may the paper size and screen size. If
your host is 'lnx', you can modify or remove flags from file

  ./make/lnx/makefile.dep 

to suit your need. Then, run again

  ./make/sethost.prl host
  
where "host" is the host name selected from the list. This will create some
directories and install Makefiles for the selected host.
  
To compile the libraries and binaries, run

  make libs
  make bins
  
If the system fails to compile the binaries, run "make libs" one more time.
The Makefile in the original UH distribution relies on time stamps of
temporary files. If your host is fast enough, compilation will be less than
one second and the system will not compile everything.

When this is done, compile and install the GFI extensions,

  cd gfi
  make libs
  make bins
  
The distribution is now ready, but the system must be configured for using
it. Instructions for configuration can be found in "gficfg" help file

  man -l man/man5/gficfg.5
  more doc/txt/etc/gficfg.txt
  
or open your browser at

  doc/html/5/gficfg.html
  
from directory gfi. If you use and like this software, pleasesend me an
e-mail with your comments. You can also ask to be included in mailing list
to be informed about updates and bugs.
