Dear colleague,

the FELIX-computer-algebra-system can be obtained via anonymous ftp
at 
	aix550.informatik.uni-leipzig.de (139.18.2.14)

from the directory /pub/felix .

We provide ports for different platforms: 
        DOS 3 and higher          - dosfelix.zip
        WINDOWS 3.x or WINDOWS NT - winfelix.zip
        386BSD/FreeBSD            - felix-2-1-FreeBSD_bin.tgz
        NetBSD                    - felix-2-1-NetBSD_bin.tgz
        Linux                     - felix-2-1-Linux_bin.tgz


The DOS-version requires a 8086 computer whereas the other versions
expect 80386 machines (or higher).

Note, that the WINDOWS-version uses the DOS-protected-mode-interface
(DPMI 0.9) and is supposed to run in a DOS-box under WINDOWS.

The unix versions should be uncompressed in a separate directory 
(e.g. /usr/felix or /usr/local/lib/felix) using gzip. 
Before executing FELIX edit the script file "felix"
	FELIX=/usr/local/lib/felix/; export FELIX
	FXMODULE=/usr/local/lib/felix/module.bsd/; export FXMODULE
	FXEDIT="vi +[row] [file]"; export FXEDIT
	TEMP=/usr/tmp; export TEMP
	cd /usr/local/lib/felix
	cp ini/fx386.8m fx386.ini
	/usr/local/lib/felix/felix.FreeBSD
and make sure that it is within your search path (e.g. copy
to /usr/local/bin). 

The subdirectory "ini" in the WINDOWS and unix versions contains 
configuration files for different memory equipments (4, 8, 16, 32, 64 Mb).


With best regards
