1.)  Introduction

     This file describes the  installation  of the  data  plotting
     software DISLIN on IBM-PCs  for  the operating system Windows
     9x/NT/2000/XP and the Intel compilers icl and ifl.

2.)  Installation of DISLIN

     The  DISLIN version  for the  Intel compilers icl and ifl  is
     distributed  in  the  zipped file  dl_81_if.zip.  An  utility
     for unpacking the  DISLIN  files is  available  from the same
     location where you have downloaded dl_81_if.zip,  or from the
     DISLIN CD-ROM. 

     To install DISLIN, make the following steps:

  a) Create a temporary directory and copy the files dl_81_if.zip
     and unzip.exe to it:

     for example:   md  c:\temp
                    cd  c:\temp
                    copy e:\dislin\windows\unzip.exe    *.*
                    copy e:\dislin\windows\dl_81_if.zip *.*

  b) Extract the DISLIN files with the command:

                    unzip -o dl_81_if  

  c) Run the setup program with the command

                    setup

     -  Choose OK

     -  Give the Installation Directory where  DISLIN  should be in-
        stalled. The default directory is C:\DISLIN.

  d) Reconfigure the System

     Add the DISLIN\WIN directory to the PATH environment in the
     file AUTOEXEC.BAT

     for example:  PATH C:\BIN;C:\DISLIN\WIN

     Add the DISLIN environment variable DISLIN to the autoexec.bat
     file:

     for example:  SET DISLIN=c:\dislin   

  e) Now you can compile,  link and run the example programs in the
     DISLIN subdirectory examples with the commands

                 CLINK   -a  exa_c        (for icl)
                 DLINK   -a  exa_f77      (for ifl, Fortran 77)

                 copy \dislin\ifc\dislin.f90  (for ifl, Fortran 90)
                 ifl -c dislin.f90  
                 F90LINK -a  exa_f90      
     and
                 CLINK   -a  map_c        (for icc)
                 DLINK   -a  map_f77      (for ifl, Fortran 77)
                 F90LINK -a  map_f90      (for ifl, Fortran 90)

     Notes:

      - The easiest way of handling Fortran 90 modules seems to be
        to copy the source code of the module file into the current 
        working directory and compile it there.

      - The DISLIN libraries for the Intel compilers were created 
        with MS Visual C++ 5.0.


3.) Getting a DISLIN License

   You can install and check DISLIN for 10 days.  Once this date passes,
   DISLIN must be licensed. See the file 'DISLIN.INF' for licenses and 
   prices. 

   To get a license number, you have to run the program  'license'
   in the DISLIN\win directory:

   license

   The program will create the file 'license.lis'. Send it via E-mail
   to
                   michels@linmpi.mpg.de

   to receive a valid license number. After that, you will be contacted
   by  Garching Innovation  that manages the payment of DISLIN licenses
   (see the file 'DISLIN.INF').
