INSTALLATION GUIDE

  Installing AMC is quite simple. It requires only an ANSI C compiler and
  POSIX.1 compliant operating system. You do not have to get any additional
  packages or install AMC in a fixed location. 

  To compile AMC on your target platform, go to the src directory off the 
  root of the AMC archive and run the included shell script called build.

  If this is your first time compiling AMC, the shell script will ask you
  several questions about your environment. The answers to your questions 
  are stored in a file called "defaults" in the src directory. Simply
  remove the file if you wish the build script to prompt you again.

  One question that the shell script asks is the ``AMC Build directory.''
  It should be set to the absolute location of the root of the AMC archive 
  on your system. This depends on where you unpacked the archive. 
  For example, if you were in:

     /usr/people/foo

  And you unpacked the archive, the root should be:

     /usr/people/foo/amc-vX.Y.Z

  The compilation scripts usually get it correct and you can just use the 
  defaults. This setting matters when you compile the software. Once compiled, 
  you can move the root of the archive anywhere and AMC will properly compute 
  its "home" when started.

  The build script will then start compiling AMC. When complete, the build 
  script lists the created file before exiting.
