Detailed Installation Procedure for NodPlot on Unix:
----------------------------------------------------

To compile nodplot, you need the Qt libraries well installed
in /usr/local/qt (or somewhere else..). You can get them
from www.troll.no. You can skip steps 1, 2 and 3 of this 
Installation manual if you already have the Qtv1.40 up and running.


1. Downloading the Qt Library (homepage: http://www.troll.no)
   a) ftp ftp.troll.no
   b) login: ftp
   c) cd qt/source
   d) bin
   e) hash
   f) get qt-1.40.tar.gz (might take a while, it's a 2+ meg file)
   g) quit


2. Installing/Compiling the Qt Library
   a) gunzip qt-1.40.tar.gz
   b) tar -xvf qt-1.40.tar
   c) su root (enter your password)
   d) mv qt-1.40 /usr/local/qt-1.40
   e) chown -R root.root /usr/local/qt-1.40
   f) ln -s /usr/local/qt-1.40 /usr/local/qt
   g) cd /usr/local/qt
   h) make linux-g++-shared
   i) make (might take a while - about 30minutes on a P75Mhz)
   j) add the line /usr/local/qt/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf
   k) ldconfig


3. Testing the Installation of the Qt Library
   a) cd /usr/local/qt/examples/tictac
   b) tictac
   c) if you see a tictac board and you are able to play
      against the machine, qt is installed properly. Otherwise,
      go back to step 2, read the INSTALL file provided with the 
      qt library and figure out what went wrong.


4. Compiling/Installing NodPlot
   a) cd to the nodplot directory
   b) make clean
   c) make     (note: if the qt library is not located in /usr/local/qt,
                then the INCDIR, LFLAGS and MOC variables defined at
                the beginning of the Makefile should be defined
                in consequence)
   d) su root (enter password)
   e) ./Install (to install nodplot in /usr/local/bin and 
                 /usr/local/src and /usr/local/doc; note: if you wish
                 to install to a different path, just edit the PREFIX
                 variable defined at the top of the bash script Install) 


5. Testing NodPlot executable with given 3D data file
   a) cd /usr/local/doc/nodplot-v0.94
   b) nodplot -i dataeg.npl


6. Creating a 3D data file for NodPlot
   a) nodplot -help   to get code templates in C, Pascal and Fortran 77
                      showing how to create a nodplot data file
