IOAPI 2.2 - 7 May 2003

 The I/O API Version 2.2-Beta source code, documentation, and binary object 
 libraries for certain platforms are available at:

     http://www.emc.mcnc.org/products/ioapi/AVAIL.html

 This web site shows how to build IOAPI libraries in detail.  The following
 is a summary:

   1) Unzip and untar the downloaded file:

         gunzip ioapi_22.tar.gz
         tar xf ioapi_22.tar

   2) Determine your machine architecture and the available Fortran and C
      compilers:

         The command "uname -a" provides machine architecture information.

   3) Determine the supported architecture and compilers:

         ls -al Makeinclude.*

         The Makeinclude file extensions are named according to the type of
         architecture and compiler.

         For instance, if your machine is a Linux box with Pentium processor 
         and you are using an Intel Fortran compiler (ifc), you should use
         Makeinclude.Linux2_x86ifc. 

   4) Set up the library directory:

         setenv BIN <lib>

         where <lib> is the file extension you determined in step #3

         Using the previous example, you would type "setenv BIN Linux2_x86ifc"

   5) Select the no-couple Makefile:

         cp Makefile.nocpl Makefile

   6) Build the library by typing:

         make

   Note: 1. If the compilers you chose are not found, check Makeinclude.<lib>
            to see whether the compiler paths are set correctly.

         2. If you want to avoid verbose run-time output messages, add
            -DIOAPI_NO_STDOUT in COPTFLAGS and FOPTFLAGS in the 
            Makeinclude.<lib> file.

         3. The library is created in the subdirectory <lib> (see step #4).
