1.)  Introduction

     This file describes the  installation  of the  data  plotting
     software  DISLIN  on  IBM-PCs  for  Windows  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++.


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.  A 
     utility for unpacking the DISLIN files is available  from the
     same location where you have downloaded dl_11_pf.zip, or from
     the DISLIN CD-ROM. 

     To install DISLIN, make the following steps:

  a) Create a temporary directory and copy the files dl_11_pf.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_11_pf.zip *.*

  b) Extract the DISLIN files with the command:

                    unzip -o dl_11_pf  

  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 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

                 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. If your program contains a
        'USE DISLIN' statement, you have to compile the file 
        'dislin.f90' in the DISLIN\pf directory with the command 
        pgf95 -c dislin.f90 and link the file dislin.obj to your
        program.
        
      - 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.
