XPLOR-NIH Installaion

 [ a sample set of command instruction is shown in square brackets ]

-obtain a copy of the platform independent -db distribution file in
 addition to one or more platform specific binary file.

-unpack these files wherever you plan on installing xplor.
 [ % cd /opt
   % gzcat xplor-nih-VERSION-IRIX64_6.5.tar.gz |tar xf -
   % gzcat xplor-nih-VERSION-Linux_2.2_i686.tar.gz |tar xf -
   % gzcat xplor-nih-VERSION-db.tar.gz |tar xf -         ]

-generate the xplor script and create a symbolic link to a common
 path location
 [ % cd xplor-nih-VERSION
   % ./configure
   % ln -s /opt/xplor-nih-VERSION/bin/xplor /usr/local/bin/xplor ]

-you can also test the distribution by running the testDist script.
 Note that you need write privledges in the install directories for
 this to work.
 [ % bin/testDist ]

-if you have a version of your OS newer than that listed in the binary
 name, you can probably run the older version by adding a line to
 arch/equivList. For instance, if you have Darwin 6.7, add the line:
Darwin_6.6 Darwin_6.7
