		Getting started with Sphinx
=====================================================================

    The  internal  memory  handle 3 banks of 8 bit  1024*1024  pixels  called
    "visible"  and  3  banks  of  8  bit  1024*1024  pixels  called  "masked"
    stored on disk usr/tmp/sphinx_masked.

    The geometry is very simple: Banks are denoted R G B  and  each  bank  is
    divided into 4 512x512  quadrants  called A B C D  for  the  visible  and
    E F G H for the masked.

    The right hand button of the mouse is used for the pop up menu to  select
    a panel . Within a panel the left hand button is always used to select an
    option.
    To enter data from the image the right hand button is generaly used.

    To start Sphinx just enter the command: sphinx
    Press the right hand button, go to the test menu and select Read image test.

    On a Panel the sign ? (up right): Click on for the on line help
               the sign X (up left): Click on to shift the panel on the right  
               To move a panel push down the left hand button into the panel
	       header move to the new place and release the button.

1)  mv  bin_IRIS bin
2)  rm -rf bin_HP700 bin_RS6000 bin_SPARC bin_DECST
3)  cd files
4)  mv  5s_File.IRIS 5s_File
