        I               Installation (on PC)
                        ====================

TAUEST has been tested on IBM-type PCs
under several operating systems.
Installation comprises
(1) copying of TAUEST executables and
(2) installation of the freeware graphics program
Gnuplot (version 3.6 or higher).

Download the pkzipped TAUEST executables
into your TAUEST directory and uncompress them. Install
Gnuplot analogously.

        II              Running
                        =======

Have the Gnuplot executable (gnuplot.exe) in your system path.
Run TAUEST as batch using the command

        tauest

Output files are written to the TAUEST directory.

For further details, see the original publication.
