Hi.

This package contains a compiled version of the Grace plotting
package for unix.  The contents of this package are set up with the
assumption that they reside in a directory called
 /usr/opt/xmgr

In other words, the files in this package would go into:
 /usr/opt/xmgr/grace
 /usr/opt/xmgr/util
 /usr/opt/xmgr/gmf2wmf


To use the Grace package, first add a few lines to your global
environment file.  If you use the C shell, add these lines to the
end of your $HOME/.cshrc file:

setenv GRACE_HOME /usr/opt/xmgr/grace
setenv GRACE $GRACE_HOME/src
set path = ($path /usr/opt/xmgr/util $GRACE)

If you use the Korn shell, add these lines to the end of your
$HOME/.kshrc file:

export GRACE_HOME=/usr/opt/xmgr/grace
export GRACE=$GRACE_HOME/src
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/opt/xmgr/util:$GRACE

This stuff could be added globally in a system-wide file.


Next, it is convenient to add the following lines to the end of your
$HOME/.Xdefaults file:

XMgrace*mainWin.width:  872
XMgrace*mainWin.height: 698
XMgrace*fontList:       -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
XMgrace*tabFontList:    -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
XMgrace*monText.fontList:       -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
XMgrace.consoleDialog*text.fontList:    -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
XMgrace*openProjectFSB.pattern: *.gr
XMgrace*saveProjectFSB.pattern: *.gr
XMgrace*readSetsFSB.pattern:    *
XMgrace*writeSetsFSB.pattern:   *


To make sure the above stuff is set, it is best to log out of your xterm
and relogin.

Finally, you can use Grace in three modes:

 `grace`    --> command-line mode (no GUI, experts only!)
 `gracebat` --> batch mode for scripts (no GUI, batch output)
 `xmgrace`  --> interactive GUI mode -- the most common usage


Let me know if you have questions.  You will.
