1.)  Introduction

     This file describes the  installation  of the  data  plotting
     software DISLIN on IBM-PCs  for  Windows and the Digital Mars
     C/C++/D compilers.


2.)  Installation of DISLIN

     The  DISLIN version for the Digital Mars C/C++/D compilers is
     distributed in the zipped  file  dl_11_dm.zip.  A utility for
     unpacking the DISLIN files is available from the same locati-
     on where you have downloaded dl_11_bc.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_dm.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_dm.zip *.*

  b) Extract the DISLIN files with the command:

                 unzip  -o dl_11_dm.zip

  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

                    clink  -a  exa_c   (C/C++)
     and            clink  -a  map_c   (C/C++)

     For the D compiler you can change to the examples\d directory
     and use the commands

                    dmdlink -a curve    (D)
                    dmdlink -a surface  (D)
                    dmdlink -a ...

     Note:  clink and dmdlink link by default with the single precision
            library disdmc.lib, but the distribution contains also a 
            double precision version of the library (disdmc_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.
