What computer resources do I need to use the Individual Information Program Package?

• Web Access: The Delila Server provides limited web access to the programs. The server may do what you want, in which case it is much easier. However it is not anywhere near as powerful as using the tools directly.

• Programs are supplied in two forms:
  • Sun Sparc Binaries. These will only work on Sun Microsystem computers!
    OR
  • Pascal Source code. You will have to compile the programs for your computer system. Linux will work. See the delila web page for more information about compiling. I would recommend that you at least compile the test.p program before proceeding.

  When writing up your application please specify whether you need source code.

• Output: Delila programs produce ascii output and PostScript graphics. You will need:

  • A PostScript viewer such as Ghostview
    AND
    
  • A PostScript printer (prefereably in color)
  Output from the web server is provided in PostScript, PDF, ascii, and gif forms.

For information about how to obtain these programs and obtain access to the Delila Servers, there is a detailed online procedure: Delila Server Orders ( as of 2001 June 22). Alternatively you can contact us.
