1.)  Introduction

     This file describes the  installation  of the  data  plotting
     software  DISLIN on IBM-PCs  for Windows  and the Silverfrost
     Fortran 95 compilers FTN77, FTN90 and FTN95.

 
2.)  Installation of DISLIN

     The  DISLIN version for the  Silverfrost Fortran compilers is
     distributed in the zipped file  dl_11_sf.zip.  A  utility for
     unpacking the DISLIN files is available from the same locati-
     on where you have downloaded dl_11_sf.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_sf.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_sf.zip *.*

  b) Extract the DISLIN files with the command:

                    unzip dl_11_sf.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

                    DLINK  -a exa_f90       (FTN77)
                    DLINK  -a map_f90

             or:    F90LINK  -a exa_f90     (FTN90)
                    F90LINK  -a map_f90

             or:    F95LINK  -a exa_f90     (FTN95)
                    F95LINK  -a map_f90

     Another way to link programs with the DISLIN library is:

             SLINK EXA_F90.OBJ C:\DISLIN\DISS32.LIB


     Note: - The file DISLIN.MOD contains interfaces for all DISLIN 
             routines.  This file should be used in DISLIN Fortran 90 
             programs with the USE statement.  For FTN90/FTN95,
             programs can be compiled with the option MOD_PATH.

             For example:  FTN95 /MOD_PATH c:\dislin main
 
           - If your Fortran 90 compiler version does not recognize the
             format of the Dislin module file 'dislin.mod', you can 
             recompile the file 'dislin.f90' in the DISLIN directory. 

           - F90LINK links by default with the DISLIN single precision 
             library DISS32.LIB, but there is also a double precision
             version of the library (DISS32_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.
