0. General remarks:
===================

The ROLIS browser/decoder sowftware is written in TCL/TK
and ANSI-C to be platform independent.

Only the performance-critical decoder part is implemented in C
and loaded as a shared library.

The BIN/QuickLook directory contain the TCL/TK scripts 
for browsing & decoding the ROLBIN data.

Nevertheless there is no need to have TCL/TK installed
to run the binaries, because the executables contain a complete
TCL/TK system.


1. Limitations:
===============

- The input ROLBIN files should be of fixed record length
  (280 or 282 bytes).
- Tested platforms:
	Windows 98 / NT4.0 / 2000
	Sparc Solaris 5.7
- There is a known decoder math. problem for SuseLinux 7.x



2. Compiling from sources:

-----------------

Prerequisites:
- Some Tcl version >= 8.4 installed
  You'll find a free distribution at http://www.activestate.com
- GNU C compiler GCC

Compiling:
- Edit makefile to reflect your TCL library path
- Call make

3. Installation:
================

Install everything from the BIN directory at a destination of your choice

The BIN directory contains executables 

4. Help:
========
The helpfile ./help.txt contains the command line parameters
