1.)  Introduction

     This file describes the  installation  of the  data  plotting
     software DISLIN on IBM-PCs  for  the operating system Windows
     9x/NT/2000/XP and the Salford Fortran 95 compiler FTN95.

 
2.)  Installation of DISLIN

     The  DISLIN version for the Salford Fortran 95 compiler FTN95
     distributed in the zipped file  dl_91_sf.zip.  An utility for
     unpacking the DISLIN files is available from the same locati-
     on where you have downloaded dl_91_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_91_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_91_sf.zip *.*

  b) Extract the DISLIN files with the command:

                    unzip dl_91_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 setting of environment depends on your Windows version:

     Windows 98/ME

        Add the following commands to the autoexec.bat file

        PATH=c:\dislin\win;%PATH%
        SET DISLIN=c:\dislin   
   
     Windows NT/2000/XP

        In Windows NT/2000/XP 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 Salfords 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 a DISLIN License

     DISLIN is free for non-commercial use. Licenses for selling programs
     linked with DISLIN or for using DISLIN in an environment related to
     business are available from the site http://www.dislin.de.
