Unpacking the PADE source files

 

The PADE source code for major version 1.0 is contained in a file named

nist_pade.1.0.x.tar.gz ,
where x is the minor version number as described in Section 2.1.2. This file can be unpacked in any directory in which the user has write privileges; the installation can be carried out in any directory in which the user has write privileges. Unpacking this file is done with the command
gunzip < nist_pade.1.0.x.tar.gz | tar -xvf -
This command will create the directory structure described at the beginning of this chapter and unpack the PADE source files into these directories. Note that this command requires the presence of the GNU gzip utility. In the event that this utility is not present, it can be obtained by anonymous ftp to
ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu
Once the PADE source has been unpacked, the user should change to the nist_pade directory and check that all files that are supposed to be there are actually present. The MANIFEST file, found in the top PADE directory contains a complete listing of all files that should be present.
