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 Lahey Fortran 95 compiler LF95.

 
2.)  Installation of DISLIN

     The DISLIN version for the Lahey Fortran 95 compiler  LF95 is
     distributed in the zipped file  dl_91_hf.zip.  An utility for
     unpacking the DISLIN files is available from the same locati-
     on where you have downloaded dl_91_hf.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_hf.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_hf.zip *.*

  b) Extract the DISLIN files with the command:

                    unzip -o dl_91_hf    

  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         
                    F90LINK  -a map_f90      

     Notes:

      - The file DISLIN.MOD contains interfaces for all DISLIN 
        routines.  It should be used in DISLIN Fortran 90 programs
        and subroutines with the USE statement.
        You can use the -MOD switch of the LF95 compiler for com-
        piling programs (see F90LINK).

      - F90LINK links by default with the DISLIN single precision 
        libraries DISLF95.LIB and DISDLL.LIB, but there are also the 
        double precision libraries DISLF95_D.LIB and DISDLL_D.LIB.


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.
