Yorick Quick Start
-----------------------------
Yorick is distributed as a self-extracting archive file called 
yorwin14.exe. This is done so that the proper directory structure 
is created without any special efort on the part of the user. 
(At sites that do not accept self-extracting archive files 
yorwin14.exe will be placed inside a zip file, e.g. yor14vr2.zip, 
along with this README file. If you have the zip file, extract 
yorwin14.exe from the zip file and follow the instructions below.) 

Double-click on yorwin14.exe in Windows Explorer. If you accept 
the defaults there will now be a directory called C:\Yorick14. 
Double-click the file called yor_win.exe in the Yorick14 directory. 
You are now running yorick. 
Type:

#include "demo1.i"
demo1

in the command window. Yorick will create a graphics window and 
make some plots. Select "exit" from the file menu or type "quit" 
in the command window and yorick will quit. To see more of the 
capabilities of yorick, run demo2 through demo5. To learn how 
the demos work, use the open command in yorick's file menu to 
load demo1.i (or another text file) into a text editor window. If 
you see a command you don't understand, e.g. "pli", go back to 
the command window and type:

help,pli

Yorick documentation is available as Tex sources, PostScript, 
or HTML from ftp://ftp-icf.llnl.gov/pub/Yorick or 
http://wuarchive.wustl.edu/languages/yorick. The UNIX distribution 
directory contains the user manual and a set of 6 quick reference 
sheets. 

Yorick is freeware and is freely distributable. Details on the 
installation and use of yorick can be found in yor14-README.txt, 
which is installed in the Yorick14 directory.
