The Installation Procedure

If the user has one of the supported OS's, then installation proceeds utilizing the following commands. If your OS is not supported, the configuration step should be omitted, Makefile.in should be copied as Makefile and explicitly tailored to the user environment.

% ./configure uses Makefile.in as a template to build the correct Makefile (from user inputs as required)
% make builds all the facilities
% make test runs a test script (see below)
% make clean removes object files
...  
% make tidy deletes executables and restores the directories to the state of the original distribution
% ./config_preview configure the IDL previewer
