                  GNU PIPS version 1.02

This document describes how to build and install the GNU PIPS package.

1) Install the NetCDF library and PVM. If only the NetCDF library
   is installed, then only pnm2nc, nc2pnm and ncattdef will be build.
2) Check the Makefile in the pips directory. You will certainly
   have to correct the pathnames for the NetCDF- and PVM library.
   At this stage, you will only need to edit the first variable
   section in the Makefile.
3) Type make in the pips directory.
   You may get some messages like:
      *** Error code 1 (ignored)
   This is perfectly allright - please ignore them !
4) Type a program name with the -h command line option to get
   information on how to use it.
