How to use it The most important thing to do before you can use the software is to setup your UNIX environment variables. In all cases the lists are searched in order and the first matching element is returned. This allow you to override some system defaults by referencing your private directories in the beginning of the list. I recommend adding these pieces of code to your login scripts. I omit miscellaneous libraries and programs that are not of general interest to potential users.
Decompression is quite fast though.
I install the software when I need it for something, but if you find something interesting I could install it too. I cannot guarantee that it these program will work, but since I use them I try to keep it in working state. If you find a problem, please let me know.
