SPIDER & WEB INSTALLATION ON UNIX
SPIDER
SPIDER consists of two separate modules. The main SPIDER
module is used for all operations that do not require graphical
interaction or visualization. The WEB module is used for
operations that involve graphical interaction with the data such
as display of files. The target machine for Unix SPIDER and WEB
is a SGI workstation. Sample "Makefiles" are provided which work
on SGI Irix, DEC Unix, and SunSparc Unix. If you intend to run on
other flavors of Unix these makefiles will have to be altered.
Further information on SPIDER installation is contained in

WEB
WEB is a point-and-click interface for SPIDER graphics
that uses the MOTIF/X-WINDOW system. Unlike the main SPIDER
module which is written in FORTRAN, the Unix WEB module has been
written in C. The change of language was prompted by the lack
of FORTRAN bindings for MOTIF on most computers. Further
information on WEB installation is contained in
