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 Fortran 90 compiler ifort.


2.)  Installation of DISLIN

     The  DISLIN version for the Intel compiler ifort is distribu-
     ted  in  the  zipped file  dl_91_if.zip.  An  utility for un-
     packing the DISLIN files is  available from the same location
     where  you have  downloaded  dl_91_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_91_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_91_if.zip *.*

  b) Extract the DISLIN files with the command:

                    unzip -o dl_91_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

     Set the DISLIN environment variable to c:\dislin and include
     c:\dislin\win in your path. If you have installed DISLIN in a
     different directory, you have to use that directory for the 
     environment variables above.

     The setting of environment depends on your Windows version:

     Windows 98/ME

        Add the following commands to the autoexec.bat file

        PATH=c:\dislin\win;%PATH%
        SET DISLIN=c:\dislin   
   
     Windows NT/2000/XP

        In Windows NT/2000/XP environment variables can be set or
        modified with the Control Panel 
        (see Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables).

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

                 F90LINK -a  exa_f90      (for ifort, Fortran 90)
     and
                 F90LINK -a  map_f90      (for ifort, Fortran 90)

     Notes:

      - F90LINK links by default with the single precision libraries 
        disif.lib adn disdll.lib. Bouble precision versions of the 
        libraries are also included (disif_d.lib and disdll_d.lib).

      - If your compiler version does not recognize the format of the
        Dislin module file 'dislin.mod', you have to recompile the file
        'dislin.f90' in the directory DISLIN\ifc with your compiler 
        version (i.e. ifort -c dislin.f90). 'dislin.mod' is created
        with Intel Visual Fortran 9.1.


3.)  Getting a DISLIN License

     DISLIN is free for non-commercial use. Licenses for selling programs
     linked with DISLIN or for using DISLIN in an environment related to
     business are available from the site http://www.dislin.de.
