Unpacking this file creates a directory structure that is depicted in
Fig. 2.1. This directory structure consists of the
top directory (entitled nist_pade) and four subdirectories pade,
caml_utils, pade_doc, and examples.
The top nist_pade directory contains the following three (ASCII)
files.
- RELEASE-NOTES - this file describes any changes or additions
to the PADE package that did not make it into this manual.

implement the graphical user environment of PADE. These scripts
are contained in the pade subdirectory.
- Pvmmake and NIST CAML utilities - Pvmmake is a PVM program
written in C that performs the essential file transfer and compilation
functions of PADE. The utilities pvmstat, pvmtidy, and
padeinituser perform various PVM-related housekeeping functions
within PADE. These programs were developed by staff members of the
Computing and Applied Mathematics Laboratory (CAML) at NIST. They are
located in the caml_utils subdirectory.
