How to install Filaments:
-------------------------

1. download Filaments.tar.{Z|gz} and place it in a directory in which you 
are able to create directories (the script will do this for you).

2. Untar and uncompress the file: zcat Filaments.tar.{Z|gz} | tar -xf -
Note that if you have the gzipped package, the zcat must be gnu's version.
Otherwise, uncompress Filaments.tar.gz by: gunzip Filaments.tar.gz, and
then untar with: tar -xf Filaments.tar

3. type: cd Filaments

4. type: ./Install

5. Answer the questions when prompted.  This step will take a few minutes
as it compiles the Filaments libraries and a few demonstration applications. 

6. After running the Install script, type: cd apps

7. If you are running Distributed Filaments, edit the Hosts text file in this 
directory to contain the machine(s) which will take part in computation:
Example Hosts file:
minski
bengal
daisy

You may need full addresses, i.e. bengal.cs.uga.edu; this depends on your
name server.

8. If you are running Shared Filaments, set the environment
variable "FIL_PROCS" to the number of processors you want to use.
 
9. You should now be ready to run Filaments!  The README file in the
apps directory explains how to invoke the 8 sample applications.
