Thank you for registering for the Compaq Fortran for Linux Alpha Systems
beta test program.  This message contains all the information you need to get
started.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The software described here is furnished under terms of a 
Beta Test License Agreement.  If you did not read and agree to the license terms
shown at http://www.digital.com/fortran/linux/beta-register.html, then do not
download the software.  Do not provide the download location or copies of the
software to others - all who download the software must agree to our license
terms and register with us.

Compaq Fortran for Linux Alpha Systems and associated software is provided in
a form installable by the RedHat Package Manager (RPM).  If you are using the
Debian distribution, please skip to the special "Debian" section below.

For ease of downloading, the software is divided into components, some of which
must be installed together.  To download, use the URLs provided below.  If you
are using a standalone FTP client, once connected to ftp.digital.com, you must
"cd" to the target directory all at once - it will not work to go down one level
at a time!

Compaq Fortran compiler - Required:
    ftp://ftp.digital.com/private/DFA/ft/MEZFI/cfal-1.0-3.alpha.rpm

Compaq Fortran language run-time libraries - Required:
    ftp://ftp.digital.com/private/DFA/ft/MEZFI/cfalrtl-1.0-3.alpha.rpm

Compaq language-independent compiler support library - Required:
    ftp://ftp.digital.com/private/DFA/ft/MEZFI/libots-2.2.6-1.alpha.rpm

Compaq Portable Math Library - Required - Choose one:
    Optimized for Alpha EV6 (21264) processors - will not run on
    older Alpha processor types:
      ftp://ftp.digital.com/private/DFA/ft/MEZFI/cpml_ev6-0.2-2.alpha.rpm
    For EV4, EV5 and EV56 (will run on EV6) processors:
      ftp://ftp.digital.com/private/DFA/ft/MEZFI/cpml_ev5-0.2-2.alpha.rpm

Compaq Ladebug debugger - Optional, but strongly recommended:
    ftp://ftp.digital.com/private/DFA/ft/MEZFI/ladebug-4.0.55-4.alpha.rpm

Compaq Extended Math Library, a library of technical and scientific 
subroutines - Optional
    Optimized for Alpha EV6 (21264) processors - will not run on
    older Alpha processor types:
      ftp://ftp.digital.com/private/DFA/ft/MEZFI/cxml_ev6-0.1-1.alpha.rpm
    For EV4, EV5 and EV56 (will run on EV6) processors:
      ftp://ftp.digital.com/private/DFA/ft/MEZFI/cxml_ev5-0.1-1.alpha.rpm



Installation instructions
-------------------------

The software packages are installed using the RedHat Package Manager.  Because
some packages are dependent on others, they must be installed in the following
order:

    libots
    cpml_ev5 or cpml_ev6
    cfalrtl
    cfal
    ladebug (optional)
    cxml (optional)

To do this, use the following commands:

> rpm -i libots-2.2.6--1.alpha.rpm
> rpm -i cpml_ev5-0.2-2.alpha.rpm  (or rpm-i cpml_ev6-0.2-2.alpha.rpm)
> rpm -i cfalrtl-1.0-3.alpha.rpm
> rpm -i cfal-1.0-3.alpha.rpm
> rpm -i ladebug-4.0.55-4.alpha.rpm
> rpm -i cxml_ev5-0.1-1.alpha.rpm  (or rpm-i cxml_ev6-0.1-1.alpha.rpm)

You may also, if you choose, name all of the packages in a single rpm command.
If you do this, the libots package MUST appear in the list before the
cpml package - the order of the others doesn't matter.

Please skip down to "Use instructions" below.

Special instructions for Debian users
-------------------------------------

The "alien" tool, which is used by Debian distribution users to convert RPM
kits for installation, cannot deal properly with the dependency information
in our kits.  As a special service to beta test users, we have obtained
repackaged "deb" versions of our RPM kits.   We do not intend to provide
"deb" files for the final product - we hope to have some alternative solution
in place.

For ease of downloading, the software is divided into components, some of which
must be installed together.  To download, use the URLs provided below.  If you
are using a standalone FTP client, once connected to ftp.digital.com, you must
"cd" to the target directory all at once - it will not work to go down one level
at a time!

Compaq Fortran compiler - Required:
    ftp://ftp.digital.com/private/DFA/ft/MEZFI/cfal_1.0-3_alpha.deb

Compaq Fortran language run-time libraries - Required:

    For EV4, EV5 and EV56 (will run on EV6) processors:
      ftp://ftp.digital.com/private/DFA/ft/MEZFI/cpml-ev5_0.2-2_alpha.deb

Compaq Ladebug debugger - Optional, but strongly recommended:
    ftp://ftp.digital.com/private/DFA/ft/MEZFI/ladebug_4.0.55-4_alpha.deb

    For EV4, EV5 and EV56 (will run on EV6) processors:
      ftp://ftp.digital.com/private/DFA/ft/MEZFI/cxml-ev5-0.1-1_alpha.deb


To install, use the following command:

dpkg -i libots*deb cfal_*deb cfalrtl*deb cpml-ev6*deb ladebug*deb cxml-ev6*deb

substitute cpml-ev5*deb and cxml-ev5*deb if appropriate.  You may also use
individual dpkg commands, but make sure that libots is installed first.

Use instructions
----------------

The Fortran compiler command name is "fort" - the driver will automatically
supply the correct libraries. 

Documentation
-------------

Use "man fort" to read about the fort command.

Read /usr/doc/cfal-1.0/README for descriptions of what things are different 
from our Tru64 UNIX (DIGITAL UNIX) compiler.  Documentation on the Tru64 UNIX 
compiler can be found at http://www.digital.com/fortran/docs

CXML documentation is at /usr/doc/cxml-0.1/webpages/cxml_home_page.html

Support
-------

Support for this Beta Test software is provided through special arrangement
with the University of New Hampshire at the following web site:

	http://www.iol.unh.edu/linux/alpha/development

Please use this web site ONLY for support questions.  Support is not available
through other Compaq Fortran support channels.  If you have general comments
on the Compaq Fortran for Linux Alpha Systems beta test program, please use the
"Send Feedback" page at http://www.digital.com/fortran/linux/feedback.html 
(support is not available through the Feedback page.)

We hope that you will give the software a real workout.  We will contact you
periodically and ask for your opinions of the software.  Thanks.
