This binary distribution kit, available from

   http://www.atnf.csiro.au/computing/software/index.html

should include everything required to run livedata and gridzilla on
compatible linux x86, linux x86_64, Solaris, and/or MacOSX (Intel)
systems, including MultibeamVis and MultibeamView, rp2sdfits and
catzilla.  It also includes a self-contained Glish 2.8.1 system.

Fetch livedata_root.tar.bz2 (230 KiB unzip'd) and either
livedata_linux.tar.bz2 (53 MiB unzip'd), livedata_linux64.tar.bz2 (61 MiB
unzip'd), livedata_sun4sol.tar.bz2 (39 MiB unzip'd), and/or
livedata_darwin.tar.bz2 (102 MiB unzip'd) and unload them into an area
(referred to as "/myarea" below) that has sufficient free disk space:

   cd /myarea
   bzcat livedata_root.tar.bz2 | tar pxf -
   bzcat livedata_linux.tar.bz2 | tar pxf -
   bzcat livedata_linux64.tar.bz2 | tar pxf -
   bzcat livedata_sun4sol.tar.bz2 | tar pxf -
   bzcat livedata_darwin.tar.bz2 | tar pxf -

This will create subdirectories called "livedata" and "glish", the latter
containing the Glish system.  The source code used to generate livedata and
gridzilla is also available as livedata_code.tar.bz2 (7 MiB unzip'd) but
this should not be required to run them.

In the livedata subdirectory, edit the following files, changing
"/nfs/atapplic/livedata" to "/myarea/livedata":

   init.csh 
   init.sh 

To run livedata/gridzilla, you first have to set up your environment.
For csh and tcsh use

   source /myarea/livedata/init.csh

For sh or bash use

   . /myarea/livedata/init.sh

To run on the console of Darwin systems you will need to start X11.

To use the Glish system simply define the GLISHROOT environment variable as
/myarea/glish and add $GLISHROOT/<arch>/bin to your PATH.  This may be done
conveniently in your .login or .profile files.
