  1. LOADING SPIDER
  2. Code is distributed on tape in tar format or CD-ROM in ISO-9660 format. The distribution takes about 39 Mb of disk space but includes libraries and executables for different systems. Only about 15Mb is necessary for a single operating system. To load SPIDER use the following commands:
    cd PARENT-DIR
    (where PARENT-DIR is parent for desired location of SPIDER)
    mkdir spider
    (creates a new sub-directory for SPIDER, hereafter referred to as SPIDER_DIR)
    For tape:
    tar xvf "your_tape_device" spider
    For CDROM:
    cp -r /CDROM/spider/* spider
    (assumes your CD_ROM is mounted at /CDROM)
    The following directories will be created:
    SPIDER_DIR ------------ installation instructions
    SPIDER_DIR/src -------- source code, libraries
    SPIDER_DIR/bin -------- executable files
    SPIDER_DIR/man -------- documentation, Nextresults
    SPIDER_DIR/docs ------- HTML documentation (for WWW use)
    SPIDER_DIR/proc ------- *.SYS files
    SPIDER_DIR/prints ----- hardcopy documentation

  3. INSTALLATION OF SPIDER
  4. DOCUMENTATION
  5. There is an overview of SPIDER documentation in the file: documents.html in the SPIDER_DIR/docs sub-directory. All SPIDER documentation is sent with the distribution and is easily accessible via your World-Wide-Web viewer (e.g. Netscape). Just point your viewer at: SPIDER_DIR/docs/master.html
