  1. GENERAL
  2. WEB is a point-and-click interface for display and interaction with SPIDER images and data. WEB is written in C for the MOTIF/X-WINDOW system. WEB has been developed and tested on SGI computers. If you have a non-SGI computer, you will need a C compiler and MOTIF development software on your computer to be able to compile and link WEB.

  3. LOADING WEB TAPE
  4. Code is distributed on tapes in tar format. The distribution takes about 20 MB of disk space, but includes libraries and executables for different systems. Only about 6MB are necessary for the source code and libraries for a single system. To load the tape use the following commands:
    cd PARENT-DIR
    (where PARENT-DIR is parent for desired location of WEB)
    mkdir web
    (creates a new sub-directory for WEB, hereafter referred to as WEB_DIR)
    tar xvf "your_tape_device" web
    The following directories will be created:
    PARENT-DIR/src -------- source code, libraries, executables
    PARENT_DIR/docs ------- documentation, html pages
    PARENT_DIR/rgb -------- rgb look-up-tables

  5. INSTALLATION OF WEB
  6. TESTING WEB
  7. To test web use the following command:
    web
    USE MOUSE TO SELECT MENU ITEMS FROM PULL-DOWN MENUS
    Further information on the use of WEB is given in the web manual.

    You may enter the file extension on the command line, e.g.:

    web dat
