	README file for GMT Examples directory

There are cshell (csh), bourne again shell (bash) and DOS
(bat) versions of all example scripts.  Simply run the
appropriate do_examples script.

The UNIX scripts will access your awk-like program via the
environmental variable $AWK.  This will be automatically
set by do_examples.  If you plan on running one of the
example scripts manually, first define AWK to be nawk,
gawk, or awk (in that order, depending on your installation).

All csh scripts use the >! notation to initialize new files.
If your system does not support this notation you must
take out all the exclamation points prior to running jobs.

Examples 2 and 17 show usage of grdraster.  However, because
the user may not have these databases the grdraster calls are
commented out and the extracted grdfiles supplied instead.

It is possible that the output you may generate with these
script will differ in subtle ways from the figures shown
in the GMT documentation.  This is most likely caused by
different settings in the .gmtdefaults file that we used
to generate the plots.

The DOS versions may differ in subtle ways from the UNIX
scripts since DOS is a braindead scripting language.  Example
03 is not even implemented in DOS.  Those who plan to use
the .bat files should seriously ask themselves why they have
not installed cygwin yet. (See Appendix L for more on that).
