The makefile in this directory should work on
many Unix platforms.  If it doesn't, it should
be fairly simple to adjust it to work with your
platform.  Your system administrator will prob-
ably be able to help you if you cannot figure
out what to do.    On most platforms all
you will have to do to compile s2ibis is type:

            make platform

where platform is:

        dec   for DECstations
        sun4  for SPARCstations running SunOs
        solaris  for SPARCstations running Solaris
        ibm   for RS6000's
        hpux  for HP 700 Series

The executable will be named s2ibis.  You should
move it to a directory that is in your PATH.

Please note: I have tried to make s2ibis as portable
as possible, but certain compilers may be unwilling
to compile it without a hassle.   The code conforms
to ANSI C, so it should work on any ANSI C compiler.
It definitely works with GNU gcc, which is available 
via anonymous ftp, or from the Free Software Found-
ation (FSF). 

I got the following pointers to FSF's GNU software
from the Usenet g++ FAQ:

***** The following was taken from the Usenet g++ FAQ *****

   The Free Software Foundation is a nonprofit organization that
distributes software and manuals to raise funds for more GNU
development.  Getting your copy from the FSF contributes directly to
paying staff to develop GNU software.  CD-ROMs cost $400 if an
organization is buying, or $100 if an individual is buying.  Tapes cost
around $200 depending on media type.  I recommend asking for version 2,
not version 1, of g++.

   For more information about ordering from the FSF, contact
gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu, phone (617) 876-3296 or anonymous ftp file
`/pub/gnu/GNUinfo/ORDERS' from prep.ai.mit.edu or one of the sites
listed below.

   Here is a list of anonymous FTP archive sites for GNU software.

     cair.kaist.ac.kr:/pub/gnu, ftp.nectec.or.th:/pub/mirrors/gnu

   The "official site" is prep.ai.mit.edu, but your transfer will
probably go faster if you use one of the above machines.

   Most GNU utilities are compressed with "gzip", the GNU compression
utility.  All GNU archive sites should have a copy of this program,
which you will need to uncompress the distributions.

   UUNET customers can get GNU sources from UUNET via UUCP.  UUCP-only
sites can get GNU sources by "anonymous UUCP" from site "osu-cis" at
Ohio State University.  You pay for the long-distance call to OSU; the
price isn't too bad on weekends at 9600 bps.  Send mail to
uucp@cis.ohio-state.edu or osu-cis!uucp for more information.

   OSU lines are often busy.  If you're in the USA, and are willing to
spend more money, you can get sources via UUCP from UUNET using their
900 number: 1-900-GOT-SRCS (900 numbers don't work internationally).
You will be billed $0.50/minute by your phone company.
