		INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

REQUIREMENTS:

* AUGUST needs Tcl/Tk version 8.0 or better installed on your system!  I think all Linux distributions
   have it included as a standard feature.
* Image Magick is also recommended (but not necessary), because August uses Image Magick
   commands to determine width and height of images.

NOTE:
If you have been running August 0.42, you'd better take a look at the hidden .August subdirectory in your
home directory. This particular release creates a lot of buffer files that isn't erased when August is shut
down, so there may be large number of files there. Just do "rm *.bf" and they are gone. Hint: Don't do
this when August is running!

It should very simple to install August on your system, at least if you're running Linux.
Download the gzipped file with the August tcl script, unpack it, and put the "august" executable in a
directory that's in your path - I suggest /usr/local/bin. Then you should be able to start August
by typing "august" at the command line. 
If it doesn't work, maybe the path to the wish tcl/tk interpreter is wrong, or you have
to do "chmod +x" on the "august" executable.

NOTE:
This is what happens when you get an error message like this one:

couldn't recognize image data while executing
"image create photo fopen -data $fopen"
(file "./august" line 856)

Type "which wish" at the prompt and check that path is the same as the one at the first line of
the August script file "/usr/bin/wish". If it's not, change the August script to the path
you got from the wish command. 
"/usr/bin/wish" is actually symbolic link to the real wish executable, which can create problems on some systems.
There may be several versions of the wish interpreter on your system, and maybe the wish symlink points to an
older version that doesn't work with August. So you may have to change that first line to
"/usr/bin/wish8.0" (or something similar...) instead!

Good luck!

--99.11.30.
