Xdome is a suite of programs and subroutines that help you
visualize the structure of a geodesic dome in all its variations
in X Windows.

Install the xdome program before you install domedemo, strlen,
verify, spin, or spinecc.

To install xdome,
	Extract all the files from xdome-0.4.0.tar.gz.
	Part I: online program xdome
	Change directory to xdome.
	Run instdome.
	Run xdome to test program.
	There are no parameters for xdome.
	Follow the menu on the screen to vary the dome.
	Part II: demo program.
	Change directory to demo.
	Run instdemo.
	Run domedemo to test program.
	There are no parameters for domedemo.
	Follow the menu on the screen to navigate
	the program.
	Part III: strut length program.
	Change directory to strlen.
	Run instsl.
	Run strlen to test program.
	To see parameters, run strlen -h
	The default parameters for strlen are:
	   class 1, icosahedron, frequency 3.
	Part IV: programs verify, spin, and spinecc.
	Change directory to verify.
	Run instvfy.
	Run strlen -c1 -pi -f3 -s | verify
	   to test verify.
	Run strlen -c1 -pi -f3 -s | spin
	   to test spin.
	Run strlen -c1 -pi -f3 -e1.5 -s | spinecc
	   to test spinecc.

The domedemo, verify, spin, and spinecc programs need a
library from xdome, called libxdome.a.  You will have to
compile xdome before you compile domedemo, verify, spin,
or spinecc.  The strlen compile creates its own library,
called libstrlen.a.

Press 'q' to quit from xdome, domedemo, verify, spin,
and spinecc.

To de-install xdome, run "deinst" from each
directory.

Browse doc/xdome.html for documentation.

The Microsoft Windows version of xdome is called
xdome-0.3.1.win.zip.
