File README ..... about the DIRDIF files ...... 27 Sep. 1999 This file is for current information, important news, etcetera. In July 1999, we have installed the new version: DIRDIF-99.2 . The MSDOS-PC and Silicon Graphics versions are working fine, and some helpful DIRDIF users have solved other unix implementation problems. Please, try, and let us kmow ! The new version (relative to DIRDIF-96) is much more powerful, and can accept quit some deviations from correct cell contents (!) but we have some unresolved unstabilities which may surprise you. Please, tell us! The updated DIRDIF USER's GUIDE will be made available in Oct. 1999, it is needed for optimal use of DIRDIF . The DIRDIF WWW home page is: http://www-xtal.sci.kun.nl/xtal/dirdif/ , which also gives a link to the following DIRDIF ftp site. The DIRDIF ftp site is: ftp.sci.kun.nl . To get files by ftp, enter: ftp ftp.sci.kun.nl as user name, enter: anonymous as password enter your own e-mail address when logged on, enter: cd pub/dirdif then read or 'get' the file README.FTP which tells you which files you may need, and how to get those files. Contents of README files: available files; implementation instructions README this file README.FTP available ftp-files; how to get the files you may need README.PC ZIP files and implementation for MSDOS PC's README.UNIX zip and tar files etc. for unix ( aix, linux, .. ) README.ALL about all individual files ( not zipped, etc. ) README.CC how to get data for about 20 test structures (zipped). In most cases the DIRDIF system is implemented/generated/installed while being in your local directory 'ddroot/ddftp' by entering 'ddmake' or 'install' . Implementation instructions for unix are given in file ddimplem.unix and for other computers in similar files (ddimplem.vax, README.PC).. If your implementation is completed, and the DIRDIF tests runs gave perfect results then, please, read the file ( PC: ) --/DDROOT/README (unix:) --/ddroot/dirdif.readme Thank you, ==================================================================== Prof. Paul T.
