This directory contains the necessary tar file for the MindTool series of programs. Be sure to set 'bin' mode before transferring. Uncompress mindtool.tar.Z and de-tar the archive with: 1) uncompress mindtool.tar 2) tar xvf mindtool.tar This should have created ./mindtool, ./graphics, and ./freeread (Note that the old ./mind directory has been merged with ./mindtool for ease of installation). 3) You should verify that the following directories exist: /usr/local/lib /usr/local/icons /usr/man/manl /usr/local/bin The programs can be installed in other locations, simply change the BINDIR, LIBDIR ... definitions in the various Makefiles. 4) There are two libraries that need to be built: libgraphics.a and libFree.a These are general purpose libraries and may be used with a variety of programs. cd to ./graphics and type 'make install'. Do this in turn to ./freeread, and ./mindtool. This should be all that is needed to install the MindTool program. See the ./mindtool/examples directory for some test cases. Note: Users with SunOS4.1.x installed should see ./graphics/README4.1.x for directions on linking to the CGI libraries. The CGI libraries are available with the standard SunOS under the "optional" graphics installation, normally installed in /usr/old. The current distribution of the MindTool program takes care of linking with the CGI libraries. The program 'mugs' is used to manipulate PostScript files (i.e., N-up printing, stereoplotting, rotating, etc.) produced by MindTool. We are currently running the programs on SPARCstations and a 4/260 (color and monochrome) with SunOS4.1.1 and FORTRAN 1.4. Our printer is an Apple LaserWriter IINT. Note: We currently append a control-D to the end of the PostScript file, which is also a valid EPS file. This may bother some spoolers, if your spooler complains, comment out the CONTROL_D flag in ./graphics/Makefile and remake ./graphics and ./mind. Also, if your default printer is not PostScript, be sure to set your PRINTER environment variable to one that handles PostScript, or "plot" to a file and print it with the spooler/printer of your own choice. We would like to know what you think of the above programs. If you have any improvements/suggestions, please send us a note. If you run into any problems, please don't hesitate to give us a call (203) 432-6288 or send us email at jim@doctor.chem.yale.edu, julian@doctor.chem.yale.edu.
