1.)  Introduction

     This file describes the  installation  of the  data  plotting
     software  DISLIN on IBM-PCs  for Windows and the Intel compi-
     lers icl and ifort.
 
     The libraries  in this distribution are created from the Dis-
     lin C source together with wrapper routines for Fortran.
     A native Fortran 90 library of Dislin  for ifort is available
     in the dsitribution dl_11_if.zip.


2.)  Installation of DISLIN

     The  DISLIN version for the  Intel compilers icl and ifort is
     distributed  in  the  zipped  file  dl_11_ic.zip.  A  utility
     for unpacking the  DISLIN  files is  available  from the same
     location where you have downloaded dl_11_ic.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_ic.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_ic.zip *.*

  b) Extract the DISLIN files with the command:

                    unzip -o dl_11_ic  

  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        (for icl)
                 DLINK   -a  exa_f77      (for ifort, Fortran 77)
                 F90LINK -a  exa_f90      (for ifort, Fortran 90)
     and
                 CLINK   -a  map_c        (for icl)
                 DLINK   -a  map_f77      (for ifort, Fortran 77)
                 F90LINK -a  map_f90      (for ifort, Fortran 90)

     Notes:

      - CLINK, DLINK and F90LINK link by default with the single 
        precision library disifl.lib. A double precision version 
        of the library is also included (disifl_d.lib).

      - The Dislin libraries disifm.lib and disifm_d.lib are compiled
        for the runtime library libcmt with the option /MT.
        If you want to link for Multithreaded DLL runtime libraries 
        (/MD), you can use the Dislin libraries disifd.lib (or disifd_d.lib).
        
      - If your compiler version does not recognize the format of the
        Dislin module file 'dislin.mod', you have to recompile the file
        'dislin.f90' in the directory DISLIN\ifc with your compiler 
        version (i.e. ifort -c dislin.f90). 'dislin.mod' is created
        with Intel Visual Fortran 9.1.


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.
