The following instructions, which assume a version number 2.12.23, and a SPARC solaris machine, show how to install these. The compressed tar file, with a name like ``gri-binary-SunOS5-2.12.23.tar.gz`' (in this example a Sun OS 5 binary is assumed, with gri version number 2.12.23) contains a directory which holds the executable Gri file, ``gri`', the library file ``gri.cmd`', an instructions file, ``README`', and a Makefile to install Gri. Here's how to install Gri, starting with this tar file: First, uncompress (unzip) the file, and un-tar it, by doing
       gunzip -c gri-binary-SunOS5-2.12.23.tar.gz | tar xvf -
   or
       zcat gri-binary-SunOS5-2.12.23.tar.gz | tar xvf -
This will yield a new directory, with a name like ``gri-binary-SunOS5-2.12.23`', which contains the indicated files. Follow the instructions in the ``README`' file to install Gri.
