Hi,
  If you're running this on windows, you're likely going to have to
modify the orient script to make it work. It was originally writen
on a Unix system and I suspect there are some possible issues related
to getting things in your path and/or names of executables for the 'la'
package. That said, you should be able to load the orient package just
by using the "source" command on the tcl scripts.

Cheers,
  John Stone
