<p>
The current version of
Sequin works with the following UNIX variants:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Solaris/Sparc</li>
<li>Solaris/Intel</li>
<li>Linux</li>
<li>SGI Irix5.X</li>
<li>SGI Irix6.2 and higher</li>
<li>DEC Alpha OSF1/Digital Unix</li>
</ul>
<h4 class="c8">Downloading Sequin</h4>
A single executable program works for all supported
Windows platforms.
<ol>
<li class="c10">Create an installation directory for
sequin using the UNIX command <span class=
"c9">mkdir</span>, or using your graphical file
manager.</li>
<li class="c10">Clicking on the link corresponding to
your version of UNIX, and the type of compression you
prefer. See <a href="#Notes">Notes</a> below for help
in choosing compression type.

<li class="c10">Your Web browser may show a dialog box
asking if you want to run the program, or save it to
disk. Choose <span class="c1"><span class=

your installation directory.</li>
<li class="c10">If your Web browser can't download the
file for some reason, see <a href=

automatically downloads the file without asking for a

it to the installation directory.</li>

<h4 class="c8">Installing Sequin</h4>
<p>
Follow these instructions to install Sequin on
UNIX:
</p>
<ol>
<li class="c10">Create an installation directory for
the program; for example, <span class="c9">C:\Program
Files\Sequin</span>. This directory may be anywhere on
any hard drive in your system.</li>
<li class="c10">In the installation directory,
type:<br />
<strong><code> uncompress
sequin.*.tar.Z</code></strong><br />
or:<br />
<strong><code> gzip -d
sequin.*.tar.gz</code></strong><br />
depending on which file you downloaded.<br /></li>
<li class="c10">Type<span class="c9"><span class=
"c1">:</span></span><br />
<strong><code>tar xvf
sequin.*.tar</code></strong><br />
This command will create a number of files and
directories within the installation directory. </li>
<li class="c10">Run an X window manager, if one is not
already running. Note that your system must be
configured for the appropriate version of the X Window
System (X11R4 or X11R5).</li>
<li class="c10">Start <code>sequin</code> by clicking
the sequin icon ion the installation
directory.<br /></li>
</ol><br />

<span class="c3">Choosing a compression type</span>.
The standard UNIX file compression program
<span class="c9">compress</span> squeezes a file to
make it smaller, and indicates that the file is
compressed by adding a <span class="c9">.Z</span>
suffix to the filename. The <span class=
"c9">uncompress</span> program unsqueezes the file
and removes the .Z suffix. Downloading and
uncompressing a "<span class="c9">.Z</span> file"
should work on any UNIX or Linux system. If your UNIX
or Linux system has the program gzip, you can
download the .gz version of sequin instead of the .Z
version. A <span class="c9">.gz</span> file is
smaller than an equivalent <span class="c9">.Z</span>
file, so it downloads more quickly. Uncompress (or
"unzip") a .gz file using the command:<br />
<span class="c14">gzip -d file.gz</span>
