1.)  Introduction

     DISLIN is a  library  of routines for easy drawing of axis sys-
     tems,  curves,  legends,  bar graphs,  pie charts,   3-D colour
     plots, surfaces, contours and maps. 

     This is the Windows 95 version of DISLIN for the LCC-Win32 com-
     piler.


     Notes: 

       - This version of DISLIN is free software.  You can copy  and
         redistribute it. 

       - A free version of LCC-Win32 is available from

         http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~lcc-win32/

       - This distribution supports now the f2c of lcc-win32.


2.)  Check the Contents of the Distribution Disk

     The Windows 95 version of the graphics  software DISLIN is dis- 
     tributed as two .zip files created with the file packaging uti-
     lity ZIP (version 1.9). The .zip files have the file names
     DL_W1_nn.ZIP and DL_W2_nn.ZIP  where nn  is the current version
     number of DISLIN.

     The DISLIN distribution disks contain the following files:

     Disk 1                            Disk 2

     DISLIN.INF                        DL_71_W2.ZIP
     README.INF
     DL_71_W1.ZIP    
     UNZIP.EXE


3.)  Installation of DISLIN

  a) Copy all files  of the distribution disk to a temporary working
     directory:

     for example:   md  c:\install
                    cd  c:\install
                    copy a:\*.*  *.*

  b) Extract the DISLIN files with the command

                 unzip  -o dl_71_w1.zip
                 unzip  -o dl_71_w2.zip


  c) Run the setup program with the command

                  setup

     -  Choose OK

     -  Give the Installation Directory where  DISLIN  should be in-
        stalled. The default directory is C:\DISLIN.


  d) Reconfigure the System

     Add the DISLIN\WIN directory to the PATH environment in the 
     file AUTOEXEC.BAT

     for example:  PATH C:\BIN;C:\DISLIN\WIN

     Add the DISLIN environment variable DISLIN to the autoexec.bat
     file:

     for example:  SET DISLIN=c:\dislin   
   

  e) Now you can compile,  link and run the example programs in the
     DISLIN directory with the commands

                    clink  -a  exampl_w   (for lcc)
                    dlink  -a  example    (for f2c)

     Note: Normally,  the linker  of LCC creates  a Windows  console 
           program.  This means  that a console is created automati-
           cally  by the  operating system  for  using  standard I/O 
           functions such as printf and scanf.  You can suppress the
           console  window by using the switch  '-subsystem windows'
           in lcclnk. In this case, you can manage I/O with the DIS-
           LIN widget  routines  and you  should  use  the statement
           'winapp ("windows");' before 'disini',  which  means that  
           DISLIN warnings are written to a file and that the proto-
           col in disfin is displayed in a widget.
