dock is currently distributed via email, ftp, or tape cartridge (8mm exabyte or QIC-150). Create a directory for the dock hierarchy in the desired installation location. Uncompress the tar archive you received (uncompress dock*.tar.Z) and extract it into this directory (tar xvf dock*.tar). The file 0README outlines the directory hierarchy and provides installation instructions. dock is written in Fortran and C. It has been tested on Silicon Graphics workstations, but it should compile with some modifications on other Unix platforms.
