Instructions: ============= If you have retrieved arpack96.tar.Z and patch.tar.Z then issue the following command zcat arpack96.tar.Z | tar -xvf - zcat patch.tar.Z | tar -xvf - which will create a directory named ARPACK. Change to the ARPACK directory and read the file README for further instruction. If you have retrieved arpack96.tar.gz and patch.tar.gz then issue the following command zcat arpack96.tar.gz | tar -xvf - zcat patch.tar.gz | tar -xvf - which will create a directory named ARPACK. Change to the ARPACK directory and read the file README for further instruction. Note that for the command above to work the "zcat" command must be the Gnu version of the command which is sometimes called "gzcat", consult your local support staff if this is a problem. If zcat is not available on your system. Use 'uncompress' or 'gunzip' and 'tar -xvf' commands to unbundle ARPACK. For example, uncompress arpack96.tar.Z tar -xvf arpack96.tar uncompress patch.tar.Z tar -xvf patch.tar
