Initial checkin for AIM92 aimR8.2 (last updated May 1997).

+
+       The pathnames which are to be modified for using the AIM software.
+       ====================================================================
+
+In the following ${DIR} is the pathname of the directory in which AIM is
+installed in your file system. For example this might be: /usr/local/aim
+
+
+1. Executables.
+--------------
+
+The executable files of the model, AIM tools and the script files are located
+in the ${DIR}/bin directory.
+
+If the path name is set to this directory, these programs can be executed 
+from anywhere in the system.  The best thing to do is to set the PATH 
+variable of the environment to: 
+
+	   setenv PATH ${DIR}/bin:$PATH
+
+This can be done in the .login, .profile or any other appropriate start-up
+script.
+
+
+2. On-line manual.
+-----------------
+
+The `manaim' script prints AIM manual pages with appropriate name in the
+Unix man page format.
+But if the user wishes to get the man pages through "xman", the environment
+variable MANPATH needs to be setup to search the aim/release/man
+directory along with the other default man directories.
+
+Add the directory which contains the AIM manual pages to the MANPATH
+in your environment, for example by including the following in your
+start-up script:
+
+	  setenv MANPATH ${DIR}/man:${MANPATH}
+
+or, if MANPATH is an undefined variable:
+
+	  setenv MANPATH ${DIR}/man
+
+
+For compatibility with systems which do not conventionally use a
+MANPATH, the pathname of the AIM pages directory must be the first
+pathname in the list.
+
+The AIM man pages will be appear in the "User Commands" section and the
+"Local" section of xman.
