INSTRUCTIONS FOR DOWNLOADING THE CODAS SOFTWARE
(1 July, 1997)

The CODAS source code, libraries, executables,
documentation and demo have been archived as

     size    filename    destination
  (bytes)
  7023086  codas3.exe    "PC"
  9421659  codas3.sgi.Z  "SGI"
  8141931  codas3.sun.Z  "SUN4,Solaris 1"
  8508991  codas3.sol.Z  "SUN5,Solaris 2.5"

They are available via anonymous ftp.  To obtain
enter

ftp noio.soest.hawaii.edu  (or ftp 128.171.154.140)

user: anonymous
password: your email address, ie, caldwell@soest.hawaii.edu

Then change directories to the subdirectory pub/codas3.

(cd pub/codas3)

   The files should be transferred in binary mode. (IE. type
'binary', then type 'get filename' for the desired file
as function of your machine (PC, SUN, SGI)).

The archives are around ~8 Mb, and
dearchive into roughly 15 Mb of disk space.

To dearchive the Sun/SGI version:

   % zcat codas3.{sun,sgi}.Z | tar xvf -

This will create a codas3 subdirectory in
the current directory.

To dearchive the PC version:

   C> codas3 -d

For processing ADCP data, the user is referred
to the demo in codas3/adcp/demo.  More detailed
descriptions of the programs themselves are in
the source subdirectories.  A more cohesive
manual for ADCP Processing has recently been
completed.  The file is manual.ps.  Also
the user may also download the file
opmeth.ps, which provides an overview of the
processing.  Both can be sent to a PostScript
printer.  

Be sure to modify your search path to find the
executables:

UNIX:
executables created by compiling c-code
    ./codas3/bin/sun4  (for the SunOS4.x)
    ./codas3/bin/sol2  (for the Solaris)
    ./codas3/bin/sgi   (for the SGI)
executable scripts
    ./codas3/bin/csh   (for all unix)


PC:
executables created by compiling c-code
    .\codas3\bin\pc    (for the PC)
executable scripts
    .\codas3\bin\bat   (for the PC)




Note that an essential part of the ADCP Processing
System requires the commercial program Matlab
(by The Math Works, Inc.), which the user must
acquire separately.  The contour plotting program
is also available by anonymous ftp from this site
(contour.tar.Z) but only for the Sun workstation
at the present time.
