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.
