INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS

1. Unzip this to create a blatSrc directory.
2. Check that the environment variable MACHTYPE
   exists on your system.  It should on Unix.  
   (And making this on non-Unix systems is beyond
   the scope of this README).  For a Linux 
   system MACHTYPE will probably be 'i386', for
   and Alpha it will be 'alpha', for a Sun
   probably 'sparc'.  If necessary set up
   this environment variable.  Do this under the
   bash shell as so:
       MACHTYPE=something
       export MACHTYPE
   or under tcsh as so:
       setenv MACHTYPE something
3. Make the directory ~/bin/$MACHTYPE which is
   where the (non-web) executables will go.
   Add this directory to your path.
4. Go to the lib directory.  If it doesn't
   already exist do a mkdir $MACHTYPE.
5. If you're on an alpha system do a:
     setenv SOCKETLIB -lxnet
   on Solaris do
     setenv SOCKETLIB "-lsocket -lnsl"
   on SunOS do
     setenv SOCKETLIB "-lsocket -lnsl -lresolv"
   on Linux you can skip this step.
6. At the blatSrc directory type 'make'
