To install, you'll need to choose a directory where the geomview distribution
should be placed -- say under /usr/local.  Suppose you've fetched the
geomview-1.6.1-sgi.tar.gz package and left it in some directory, say
/usr/people/aebrahim.  Then you could become the super-user and say

  cd /usr/local
  gunzip -c /usr/people/aebrahim/geomview-1.6.1-sgi.tar.gz | tar xvfoBp -

This will create a directory "/usr/local/Geomview", with many files beneath it,
including one called INSTALL-BINARY containing installation instructions.
You can finish the installation process with:

  cd Geomview
  ./installbin

It will ask where to place public binaries, manual pages, and so on.
The default location -- /usr/local/bin -- is a good one for binaries,
if it's to be installed for everyone to use.

If you can't become the super-user on this machine, you can just unpack it
under your own home directory.  Then, give directories like
	/usr/people/aebrahim/bin
for binaries, or
	/usr/people/aebrahim/man
for manual pages.  You'll then need to add /usr/people/aebrahim/bin (or whatever)
to your search path.  To do that, edit the file ".login" in your home directory
(or create it if none exists yet) and add the line

	set path = ($path /usr/people/aebrahim/bin)

Any windows you create after this is present will have that directory
in your search path, and should be able to find "geomview".
