2. Installation

(1) From CD:
    Connect to the distribution directory on the CD and type CDINSTALL.
    E.g.
        cd /cdrom/NAGWare_f95-sparc
        CDINSTALL

(2) From tape:
    Read the distribution directory into an area with sufficient space.
    Connect to the distribution directory and type INSTALL.
    E.g.
        tar xf /dev/rmt0 NAGWare_f95-sparc
        cd NAGWare_f95-sparc
        INSTALL

(3) To run directly from CD:
    Connect to the distribution directory on the CD and type CDRUN.
    E.g.
        cd /cdrom/NAGWare_f95-sparc
        CDRUN

(4) From an internet distribution:
    Unpack the gzipped tar file into an area with sufficient space and
    install as per the tape distribution, e.g.

        gunzip powerpc cross-compiler)
