1.)  Introduction

     This file describes the  installation  of the  data  plotting
     software DISLIN on IBM-PCs  for  the operating system Windows
     64-bit and the Portland Visual Fortran compilers pgf77 and 
     pgf95.
     
     The libraries  in this distribution are created from the DIS-
     LIN C  source together  with wrapper  routines  for  Portland 
     Visual Fortran. They are compiled with MS Visual C++ 8.0.


2.)  Installation of DISLIN

     The DISLIN version for the Portland Group compilers pgf77 and
     pgf95 is  distributed  in the  zipped file  dl_11_pf.zip.

     To install DISLIN, make the following steps:

  a) Extract the DISLIN files in a temporary directory.

  b) 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.

  c) 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 environment variables can be set or modified with the Control
     Panel 
    
    (see Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment
     Variables).

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

                 DLINK   -a  exa_f77      (for pgf77)
                 F90LINK -a  exa_f90      (for pgf95)
     and
                 DLINK   -a  map_f77      (for pgf77)
                 F90LINK -a  map_f90      (for pgf95)

     Notes:

      - This DISLIN distribution does not contain a pre-compiled
        'dislin.mod' file for pgf95. Please compile the file 'dislin.f90'
        in the DISLIN\pgf and DISLIN\pgf\real64 directories with the 
        command pgf95 -c dislin.f90.

      - F90LINK and DLINK use by default the DISLIN single precision
        library dispf.lib for linking. A double precision version of
        the library is also included with the name dispf_d.lib.


3.)  Getting DISLIN Support

     The DISLIN distributions can be used freely without any restriction.
     Access to the source code is availabe via a support contract from the
     site www.dislin.de.
