Running SLIDE on Mac:

1. Make sure you have the Apple X11 server installed on your computer.
   It should be in the Applications/Utilities folder. Start it up.

2. When you start X11, an xterm terminal window should open. In that window,
   navigate to the folder where you downloaded SLIDE.

3. Untar and unzip the SLIDE archive file (e.g. "tar xzvf slide2004.tar.gz")

4. In the "slide" directory that is created, open the file 
   macsupport/setup_path.sh and change BASE to be the path that you unpacked
   the slide archive into. That is, if you unzipped slide to /Volumes/HD/,
   you should change BASE to "/Volumes/HD/slide"

5. Make sure you're running the bash shell. If you're not sure, you can type
   "bash" to start it.

6. Change to the "slide" folder and type "source macsupport/setup_path.sh"
   This will add a number of environment variables that SLIDE needs to run.

7. Now type "macbin/slideviewer" and slide should start up

Running SLIDE on Linux:

1. Open a terminal window. In that window,
   navigate to the folder where you downloaded SLIDE.

2. Untar and unzip the SLIDE archive file (e.g. "tar xzvf slide2004.tar.gz")

3. In the "slide" directory that is created, open the file 
   linuxsupport/setup_path.sh and change BASE to be the path that you unpacked
   the slide archive into. That is, if you unzipped slide to /home/joe,
   you should change BASE to "/home/joe/slide"

5. Make sure you're running the bash shell. If you're not sure, you can type
   "bash" to start it.

6. Change to the "slide" folder and type "source linuxsupport/setup_path.sh"
   This will add a number of environment variables that SLIDE needs to run.

7. Now type "linuxbin/slideviewer" and slide should start up

Compiling SLIDE on Mac/Linux

1. Download and setup SLIDE and its support files as described above

2. Download the source archive and unpack it in the slide folder created
   above (e.g., if you unpacked SLIDE to /home/joe/slide, unpack the source
   in that folder. This should create a "src" folder, with the path
   /home/joe/slide/src). 
   
3. Change to the src/viewer folder and type "make". SLIDE should compile,
   leaving the executable "slideviewer" in the src directory
