This version of CIFPARSE is being distributed as a source library with a 
set of example programs.  CIFPARSE requires the GNU packages flex and 
bison.  These can be obtained from ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu or 
some other GNU archive site.

a.  Unbundle this distribution using the following:

          zcat cifparse-v3.1-prod.tar.Z | tar -xf -

    This will create a directory named cifparse-v3.1-prod.  Move into this 
    directory.    

b.  Check that there is a machine dependent makefile for your system in
    ./etc subdirectory.   Build the CIFPARSE library by typing:

               make

c.  Some test programs are provided to illustrate some of the basic
    features of the library.  Run the example programs by typing:

               make test
	       make test2 - for ddl and dictionary functions 

The output from the example programs is located in the subdirectory, 
cifparse-v3.1/test/*.
