Center for Relativity Software Guide


The following provides a short description of software available on the Center for Relativity computers. Where possible and/or available a link to an anonymous ftp site or web site is provided. This link would be in the name of the software.

Any non-system or non-vendor specific software can be found in the /usr/local directory tree. There are mainly SUN and SGI workstations at the center and hence there are two sets of /usr/local trees. For each software component listed I state whether it is available for SGI's and/or SUN's under availability. Each piece of software is listed as
