   How to Install Amaya Binary Release
   ===================================
   
   On Windows platforms, the distribution includes an installer:
   A simple double-clic allows you to install Amaya (so skip this section).
   By default, the executable file Amaya is located at
   c:\Program Files\Amaya\windows\bin\amaya.exe
   and a shortcut is automatically created.
   
   On Unix platforms and if the distribution is a tar.gz file follow
   these instructions.
   
   Choose a place for Amaya
   ------------------------
   Supposing the binary distribution was loaded fine, one must choose a place
   to install it. We suggest
   
      * /usr/local for a UNIX system wide installation
      * a user home directory for a personnal installation
   
   Extract the distribution
   ------------------------
   Move the distribution to this directory, verify the rights on this directory
   allows you to create a directory and extract the distribution:
   tar xzvf amaya-system.tar.gz
   
   
   Set up the Environment and Start Amaya
   --------------------------------------
   The file Amaya/$platform/bin/amaya is the executable file Amaya, the
   best thing is to add this path to your PATH environment variable:
   When using sh, bash or another variant of the Bourne shell
   PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/Amaya/$platform/bin ; export $PATH
   Maybe this command should be added to the .login startup script.
   You can also add a link from /usr/bin/amaya or /usr/local/bin/amaya.
   
   Once done one can lauch amaya simply by typing "amaya" to the shell prompt.
   The Amaya main window should open and display a page of information.
   
   How to Compile Amaya Source Release
   ===================================
   
   Extract the distribution
   ------------------------
   Move the distribution to the correct directory (your $HOME for example).
   Extract the source tar file: amaya-src-release.tar.gz
   
   Set up the environment and start the compiling
   ----------------------------------------------
   You have to create a new directory platform-name or obj within the 
   directory Amaya. Then you have to call the configure application, which
   is in the Amaya directory, from within this subdirectory.
   For example, if we want to compile Amaya in a LINUX platform, we could do the
   following:
   [1]>cd Amaya
   [2]>mkdir linux
   [3]>cd linux
   [4]>../configure
   
   See http://www.w3.org/Amaya/User/Autoconf.html for more information.
