Installation Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The installation has been made on:
 
    AIX 3 4 (uname -svr) and 4.3.2.0 using the command oslevel.
    compilers used : (from the .lst file after compiling with option -qlist)
      -f77/xlf: AIX XL Fortran Compiler  Version 03.02.0005.0004 
      -cc/xlc:  IBM C and C++ Compilers Version 3.6.6.0 

IMPORTANT: 

If your system has an older version of xlf installed, neither the executables
nor the libaries will be usable on your system.
This version is not compatible with AIX 4.1 and is doubtful for 4.2.
    
This release uses "industry standard" tools --
imake, gmake, makedepend and cpp (C preprocessor). 

 Compiler options used:
      -qextname for f77/xlf

   in general :
 f77 -c -O -qextname -WF,-DCERNLIB_IBMRT -WF,-DCERNLIB_UNIX
 cc -c -O -Dibm -DSYSV -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DCERNLIB_IBMRT -DCERNLIB_UNIX

However, compilation options differ for some packages and individual
routines; all details are documented in the Imakefiles.
In particular, geant321 uses the additional flag -WF,-DCERNLIB_BLDLIB

Stdhep is v4_06.

If you want to rebuild some parts please consult the README file for the
sources, e.g. asisftp:/cernlib/share/pro/tar/README, or the installation guide
available at  http://wwwinfo.cern.ch/asd/install/Welcome.html

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Downloading and Installing the tar files on your machine
-----------------------------------------------------------------
 
See the README.cernlib in the top level directory /
 
In short, you should "get" the files in binary mode into a temporary
directory.  Use plitar as available from this directory to unpack the files.  

The contents of each compressed tar file is documented in the corresponding
.contents file; e.g. for the cernlib.tar.gz, you should check the file
cernlib.contents.

All files with names ending in .gz have been compressed using gzip. The gzip
utilities gzip/gunzip/zcat are available in this directory both as normal files
and as a tar file. If you do not have gzip please take this tar file and untar
it prior to using plitar.

Bug corrections
---------------

After a release we try to avoid updating files unless it is a severe
problem. A list of known problems with possible workarounds or fixes is
kept up to date on http://wwwinfo.cern.ch/asd/cernlib/bugs.html

If a module/library is updated, we will not rebuild the tar file, but
place a copy (via a symbolic link) to the updated file. You should then
get this using binary ftp.
