	you want to install xop 
	example:
	  cd /users/me/programs
	  cp /cdrom/Install-Unix/xop2.0_linux.tar.gz .
	2) extract the files (a directory called xop2.0 will be created)
	  <> Linux: gunzip -c xop2.0_<arch>.tar.gz | tar xvf -
	  <> Unix:  zcat xop2.0_<arch>.tar.Z | tar xvf -
	3) Change directory to the new created directory and edit
	the script file "xop". Place your installation path in the
	environment variable "XOP_HOME"
	4) run xop by entering:
	  ./xop
	5) If wanted, include the xop directory or better a link to the
	xop script in your path.


Notes:
------

Users installing XOP under Linux using Suse 7.0 or more
-------------------------------------------------------
XOP requires the shlibs5 package (which contains the libc5 library).
This package is not an installation default in the standard Suse Linux 7.0
Please install it before starting XOP. 
To check if the shlibs5 package is installed in your system, enter at 
the Unix prompt:
 rpm -qi shlibs5
