Questions should be addressed to jcphill@uiuc.edu

*** ALL OF THE MODULES NEED TO BE MADE BEFORE THEY CAN BE RUN ***

Just go into each of the module directories and type make.
It's just the standard Explorer generated makefile.
If you know what you are doing, make install should work too.

Files in this package
---------------------

BendBox.1.1.tar.Z
 - creates bounding boxes for use w/ Projector

CIAMap.tar (uncompressed since it doesn't help)
 - datafile for map of world used by WorldMap
 ***  Individual files in this directory are compressed  ***
 ***  and need to be decompressed before they are used.  ***

CartogDemos.tar.Z
 - a couple of simple example Explorer maps
 ***  The maps in these directories have module pathnames listed  ***
 ***  as NULL.  Either edit the map files inserting appropriate   ***
 ***  pathnames for the modules or make sure the new modules are  ***
 ***  all in Explorer's modulepath in the .explorerrc file.       ***
 ***  It may be necessary to correct the location of the Map      ***
 ***  directory in the WorldMap module.                           ***
