INSTALLING JCSP ON YOUR COMPUTER
**************************************************

Unpacking the distribution file
------------------------------------------
The JCSP package (like all other GNU software) is distributed in the
form of a packed archive. There is one file named 'jcsp-X.Y.zip', where
'X' is the major version number and 'Y' is the minor version number;
for example, the archive name might be 'jcsp-1.0.zip'.

In order to install the distribution you should:

1. Copy the JCSP distribution file to a working directory.

2. Unpack the distribution file jcsp-X.Y.zip (UNIX: using command unzip jcsp-X.Y.zip)
      

Checking the package
--------------------------------
To check the package, i.e. to run some tests included in the package,
you can use the following commands:

* Unix/Linux
	1. Change permissions to the batch file:
	   	  chmod 755 jcsp.bash
	2. Execute with the following arguments:    
	     ./jcsp.bash  -m bc -i samples -o samples_output  -e samples_output/error -td samples_output/timeout -l samples_output/samples.log

* Windows
      jcsp -m bc -i samples -o samples_output  -e samples_output/error -td samples_output/timeout -l samples_output/samples.log
