Installation procedures for hwe

Intallation procedures in this file are for setting up a 'local
library' for a user. If a large group of users plan to use the same
library, then install on a system-wide 'library' location designated
by a system administrator.

S-PLUS Installation

The hwe S-PLUS functions are written for S-PLUS version 7.0.6 

To install the software for local use in S-PLUS, move
hwe_x.y.z_S.tar.gz to your installation directory and follow
the series of commands:

1) gunzip hwe_x.y.z_S.tar.gz
2) tar -xvf hwe_x.y.z_S.tar
3) cd hwe/src
4) Splus CHAPTER -m
5) Splus make -f makefile.hwe

Note that the package is not available as an R-like package for S-PLUS
8.0.1 or later.  Follow the above instructions for installation to S-PLUS 8, but we
recommend version 8.0.4 or later.

The hwe package is not available for distribution through any
R websites. To install, download the README.hwe file with
hwe_x.y.z.tar.gz and execute the following command with the local
"INSTALL LIBRARY DIR PATH" correctly specified.

R CMD INSTALL -l /INSTALL LIBRARY DIR PATH/ hwe_x.y.z.tar.gz
