1.)  Introduction

     This file describes the  installation  of the  data  plotting
     software DISLIN on IBM-PCs  for  the operating system Windows
     and the Watcom compilers wcl and wfl.


2.)  Installation of DISLIN

     The  DISLIN version for the Watcom compilers  wcl and wfl  is
     distributed in the zipped file  dl_11_wf.zip.  A  utility for
     unpacking the DISLIN files is available from the same locati-
     on where you have downloaded dl_11_wf.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_wf.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_wf.zip *.*

  b) Extract the DISLIN files with the command:

                 unzip  -o dl_11_wf.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      (wcl) 
                    dlink  -a  exa_f77    (wfl)
     and
                    clink  -a  map_c      (wcl) 
                    dlink  -a  map_f77    (wfl)

     Note: clink and dlink link by default with the single precision
           library diswfl.lib. A double precision version of the 
           library is also included (diswfl_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.
