   *** This is a pre-compiled (binary) distribution of RLaB for the
	Linux OS (i386). RLaB is statically linked. You will need the
	Tcl/TK installation to use the Plplot-TK plot driver.

   ***	Installation:

	RLaB was built to be run from /usr/local. However, a shell
	script is provided that allows you to install and run RLaB
	from any location. The shell script is called `rlab'. You will
	need to edit one line in the script, and make sure your system
	is using Xauth.

	1) Edit ./rlab. Instructions are in the script.

	2) Make sure your .Xauthority file exists, and your X-server
	is properly started. If you are using xdm(1), then you
	probably don't need to do anything. If you are not using
	xdm(1), then create a .Xauthority file with the following
	command:

	xauth -f $HOME/.Xauthority add :0.0 MIT_MAGIC-COOKIE-1 hexkey

		hexkey is any hexadecimal key you like. See xauth(1)
		for clarification.

	You will also need a .xserverrc file that contains the
	following:

	#!/bin/sh
	exec X -auth $HOME/.Xauthority $*

	3) Now, make sure the rlab shell script is somewhere in your
	path, and type `rlab'.

   ***	Documentation:

	The RLaB Primer is located in lib/doc/rlabp.dvi. You will need
	dvito* (whatever) to print it.

   ***	Mailing List:

	There is a mailing list for rlab users (rlab-list@eskimo.com). 
	If you wish to subscribe, send e-mail to ians@eskimo.com.

   ***	Sources:

	You can get the source distribution from:

		evans.ee.adfa.oz.au	pub/RLaB

		csi.jpl.nasa.gov	pub/matlab/RLaB

	The Linux version should build extremely easily from source.

   ***	Versions:

	RLaB:		version 1.20c
	Plplot:		version 4.p99i

	Linux kernel:	version 1.2.5
	Linux libc.a:	version 4.6.27
	Linux gcc:	version 2.6.3

   ***	Problems:

	If you have difficulty with the binary installation, comments
	or suggestions, send e-mail to ians@eskimo.com

	Enjoy,
