This README file contains information specific to the MS Windows versions of ANA, AVE and ROD. See the README.txt for general information on the programs and INSTALL.UNIX for the installation information (which is also partially relevant for MS Windows). The ANA and ROD programs use a graphic library called GrWin written by Tsuguhiro Tamaribuchi (tamari@spdg1.sci.shizuoka.ac.jp). The documentation and the latest distribution of the GrWin Library and PGPLOT drivers are available at the following URLs: (WWW) http://spdg1.sci.shizuoka.ac.jp/grwinlib/english/ (FTP) ftp://spdg1.sci.shizuoka.ac.jp/pub/GrWinlib/english/ ftp://ftp.esrf.fr/pub/scisoft/GrWinlib/english (PGPLOT driver on GNU-win32) ftp://spdg1.sci.shizuoka.ac.jp/pub/GrWinlib/english/contrib/pgplot/ ftp://ftp.esrf.fr/pub/scisoft/GrWinlib/english/contrib/pgplot/ The PGPLOT and GrWin development and runtime files are also available on the ANA-ROD download pages as both a "tar-gzip" and a "zip" archive in the files pgplotPPP_grwinGGG_devrun_cygwin.tar.gz pgplotPPP_grwinGGG_devrun_cygwin.zip where PPP is the PGPLOT and GGG the GrWin version number. These archives contain: - the PGPLOT/GrWin libraries needed for ANA-ROD development: libGrWin.a, libcpgplot.a and libpgplot.a - the GrWin server and auxiliary files needed to run ANA-ROD: grwnd.exe, grfont.dat, rgb.txt and grwnd.ini - the CYGWIN libraries and "terminfo" files needed to run ANA-ROD under a native WINDOWS environment: cygncurses-8.dll, cygwin1.dll and the "terminfo" directory with the files for the terminal types "ansi", "linux" and "vt100". The files needed to run ANA-ROD should be installed in the same directory as the ANA-ROD executables. The file "grwnd.ini" allows to set default values for the properties of the GrWin server. In particular, when setting "ShowMode=12" the resulting GrWin graphics window starts with the "Window" property "Top Most" being switched off, which means that it does not remain obstinately in front of all other windows all the time.
