Preamble

SWU is especially tailored to the Debian GNU/Linux O.S. but it should
work with most other Linux and UNIX systems, as well as on CYGWIN,
provided that the following external programs are available:

* Either Mike Brennan's mawk(1), version >= 1.3.3
  or GNU AWK (gawk), version >= 3.1.4

Note: the indicated progam versions are those that have been used during
the tests. This does not mean that the SWU libraries necessarily won't
work with different/earlier versions of the same programs, although that
may occasionally be the case.

Installation :

Un-tar the package in a work directory, then 'cd' into the latter and
then run the SWU installation script, like this:

     ./install-sh 

The default installation path is /usr/local/ . If you whish to install
the package into a different place, say '/my/target/dir/', simply modify
the above command as follows:

     PREFIX=/my/target/dir/ ./install-sh

# Whatever the value of PREFIX, the suffix "/swu" will be automatically
# appended to it.

The account from which the install-sh command is run is required to have
write privileges on the target installation directory, whatever it is.

Please report any installation problems to swu-devel@strozzi.it .
