Instructions for downloading

  1. To download a program, click on its archive name. Archive names end with .tgz. For example, prog1.tgz.

  2. Extract the files. On most Unix or Linux systems, this sequence of commands will work:
    	cd destination
    	tar xzf archive
    
    where destination is the directory into which you want to extract the files, and archive is the downloaded archive.

    On Microsoft Windows systems, extract the files using an archive utility such as WinZip or PkZip.  On a Macintosh, one solution is Stuffit Expander.

  3. Read the file named README, or README.txt, which is included in the archive, for instructions on how to compile and/or run the program.
