* How to Obtain ASM

The first step is to obtain the file asm.tar.gz from our network site
galton.uchicago.edu in the /pub/kong subdirectory.  This can be done via 
ftp or any number of network tools.  Login with the username anonymous 
and then enter your e-mail address as a password.


* How to Install ASM

To extract the ASM files from this file, create a subdirectory 
for the program, move the asm.tar.gz file into it, and enter the commands:

     gunzip asm.tar.gz
     tar xvpf asm.tar

The directory will now be filled with the following files:

asm.solaris    - the ASM executable for Sun Solaris
Makefile       - Unix Makefile for compilation on other systems
README.asm     - a brief description of the usage and output for ASM
INSTALL.asm    - this installation document
COPYRIGHT.asm  - copyright and licensing agreement for ASM

along with the source code.  If the extraction is successful, you can 
now delete the asm.tar archive.


* Compiling ASM

If you are planning to run ASM on a Sun Sparcstation running
SOLARIS, you can use the precompiled executable "asm.solaris".  If you have another 
type of Unix machine, you must compile the code yourself to create an
appropriate executable version.  In most cases, issuing the single command
'make' at the command prompt will produce an executable version of ASM  
for your system.  If not, contact your system administrator regarding
compilation.
