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 Compaq/Digital Visual Fortran compiler.
 

2.)  Installation of DISLIN

     The  DISLIN  version for  Compaq/Digital Visual Fortan is di-
     stributed in the zipped file dl_91_df.zip. An utility for un-
     packing the DISLIN files is  available from the same location 
     where you have downloaded  dl_91_df.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_df.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_df.zip *.*

  b) Extract the DISLIN files with the command:

                    unzip -o dl_91_df    

  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) Please recompile the source code of the DISLIN module file 
     'dislin.mod' in the DISLIN directory with the statement
     'f90 -c dislin.f90'. The file 'dislin.mod' is created with 
     CVF version 5.0 and may not be compatible to very new compiler
     versions (i.e. CVF 6.6B). 

  f) Now you can compile,  link and run the example programs in the
     DISLIN subdirectory examples with the commands

                    F90LINK -a exa_f90
                    F90LINK -a map_f90 

     Notes:

      - The file DISLIN.MOD contains interfaces for all DISLIN 
        routines.  It should be used in DISLIN Fortran 90 programs
        and subroutines with the USE statement.
        You can use the /module switch of the F90 compiler for com-
        piling programs (see F90LINK).

      - F90LINK links by default with the DISLIN single precision 
        libraries DISDVF.LIB and DISDLL.LIB, but there are also the 
        double precision libraries DISDVF_D.LIB and DISDLL_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.
