1. DISTRIBUTION :
   ASTK is the graphic interface to manage Code_Aster studies.
   ASTK allows to run Code_Aster on a local or remote machine.
   Do not hesitate to use Code_Aster Forum for any suggestions
   or remarks about this product.
   Code_Aster Forums at http://www.code-aster.org/forum.

   You may have ASTK and Code_Aster in the same package or ASTK
   alone. In the first case, see the README file about the
   Code_Aster distribution you have.

   The package contains ASTK, some other products are required,
   please read next section to know what products and version
   you must install.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
2. REQUIRED PRODUCTS :
   You can download these products from http://www.code-aster.org
   Only Tcl/Tk is necessary, version 8.4.x.

   ASTK use run_aster to run Code_Aster. You need run_aster
   version 2.32 or later (even with Code_Aster v6.x).
   run_aster version is printed to the output as :
      <INFO> run_aster.tcl version 2.32 - <date>

   Note : Tktable is not used since ASTK 1.1.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
3. INSTALLATION :
   Be sure required products are installed, the installation
   procedure could help you to find them on your machine.
   
   Just type : ./install.sh
   and answer to questions. You could consult your choices later
   in the log file (install.log).


   3.1. CONFIGURATION OF ASTK_SERV
      You need to install the "server part" of ASTK on each
      cluster on which you want to run Code_Aster.
      First modify 'config' file in ASTK_SERV/conf.
      
      Then create a 'config.VVV' file in ASTK_SERV/conf for each
      Code_Aster version installed on this machine (where VVV
      is the name of the version in the 'config' file).


-----------------------------------------------------------------
4. TESTED PLATFORMS :
   The installation procedure and Code_Aster has been tested on :
      - Linux kernel 2.4.x
      - Sun Solaris 2.6 (32 bits)
      - Sun Solaris 2.8 (64 bits)
      - Compaq AlphaServer ES45 TRU64 5.1
      - SGI Origin2000 IRIX64 6.5

   This should work on most of others unix platforms.
   If you success on another platform, post your change
   (installation procedure, compiler options...) to Code_Aster
   forum : http://www.code-aster.org/forum

   If it's failed, ask your questions to the "Installation"
   forum thread.
