To install the programs, here is what you do:
.LI
Mount the tape on a drive with 1600 bpi (bits per inch) capacity.
.LI
Go to the directory where you want the "stat" directory to appear.
.LI
Type the command:
.ce
tar xfb /dev/rmt0 20
This says to use the "tar" Tape ARchiver to extract (x) the program files
from the file (f) /dev/rmt0 (one way of referring to your tape drive).
On some systems, /dev/rmt8, or something else will have to be used.
The "b 20" option specifies a blocking factor of 20.
After the command runs,
a directory called "stat" should have been created in the current
working directory.
If the tape does not read properly,
your problem might be dirty tape heads;
the tape has been double checked at this end.
.LI
There are several README files in various sub directories of the "stat"
directory.
The "stat" sub-directories can be summarized as follows.
.nf
.ta .25i +6n
	src	program source files in C language
	doc	on-line manual entries and tutorials
	test	some test input files
.fi
.LI
Go into the "src" directory an read the Makefile about what
to do to compile all the programs.
There are a couple of variables at the beginning of the file
you will want to change to meet your system's needs.
.LI
After the Makefile has been set up properly,
type the command:
.ce
make &
and about 10 to 20 minutes later,
you will have about 20 new programs.
You can install these programs in a public directory,
like /usr/local/bin, or change your PATH variable
(lower case path for csh users) to include the correct directory.
Csh users should type ``rehash'' after changing the path variable.
If you try to run the programs and get messages like:
.ce
anova not found
you should ask your system administrator to help you.
.LI
To learn how to use the programs, read the tutorial introduction,
or maybe browse through the test directory for examples.
Do not bother me with questions about how to use the programs.
.LI
If there is a problem with compiling the programs,
it may mean your system is incompatible with UNIX|STAT.
I will do my best to help out in such cases.
Often, a minor modification to the programs to make them more portable
can make the programs available to other users.
.LI
If you find a bug in any of the programs,
please contact me and I will see what I can do.
In the years the programs have been distributed,
no serious bugs have been found.
