Hello, this readme file contains notes for those IRTF users who are
interested in mylib. MyLib is a set of libraries I commonly use
in all my application. If you wish to compile some items like VF,
DV, cshell or nsfcam. You will need MyLib.

MyLib was developed on a SPARC/Solaris computer. But has also been
used on a x86/Linux computer. It should be very portable to other
UNIX OS.

These instruction assume you have some programming knowledge
in an unix enviroment. If not, you will probably need assistance from
a programmer-type.

                       How to compile Mylib
                      ======================

1. copy mylib.source.tar.Z to your home directory.

2. uncompress and un-tar this file, ie:

   % uncompress -c mylib.source.tar.Z | tar xvf -

   The following directories should be created:

      ~/mylib/               - where the libaries are compiled.
      ~/src/mylib/errorlib/  - source for errorlib - error header files.
      ~/src/mylib/addlib/    - source for addlib - Addition libraries.
      ~/src/mylib/fitslib/   - source for fitslib - Integer FITS library.
      ~/src/mylib/dflib/     - source for dflib   - double  FITS library.

3. Compile the libraries.

   The libraries are compiled in the ~/mylib. In this directory there are
   links to the real makefile in the source directory. By default, the links
   point to the solaris makefile. You may need to inspect each link/makefile to
   insure they will work on your system.

   a. cd ~/mylib
      (you may need to re-establish the link for your account, ie:
       /home/me> ln -s /home/me/src/mylib/errlib/makefile.solaris makefile.errorlib )

   b. edit the makefile.*
      Note: The makefile.* are links to files in ~/src/mylib/*. There
      are current file for Solaris and Linux.

   c. Run make

If you have question/comments, please contact me. I would be happy to
help you.
