Gcdome generates many .ppm files requiring a lot of
	space in your local directory.  You will be
	able to keep better track of these files if
	you run gcppm and gcstrut in empty directories.

The programs in each directory compress .ppm files
	as they are being created.  To decompress a
	.ppm.gz file, run gzip with the -d switch.

	gzip -d xxx.ppm.gz

To read the documentation, use your favorite browser to
view the .html files in each subdirectory.

Use gcview to view the .ppm.gz files in X Windows.
Press escape to exit from gcview.
Use your arrow keys to scroll.

Example of gcview:

	gcview <foo.ppm.gz

You can also use:  kview, xpaint, gqview, or Image
Magick (display) to view a .ppm file.

To view the .ppm files in Microsoft Windows, run ppmtojpeg
to convert the .ppm files to .jpg and use your favorite
browser.
