In each subdirectory of this directory, you'll find DEVise executables for four different platforms (HP, Intel/Solaris, SPARC/Solaris, and SPARC/SunOS). The HP and SPARC/SunOS versions are statically linked while the Solaris versions are dynamically linked. To run DEVise, first get the appropriate file for the platform on which you're running. Then untar the file with the command: tar xvfz . Once you have done this, you should be able to run devise by changing to the run directory and typing 'devise' (without the quotes). The distribution files contain PostScript documentation. You may also want to download the quick_intro.tar.gz file. This contains an HTML document giving a quick introduction to how to use DEVise.
