Dear LaboImage User,

To compile LaboImage 3.1, please make the following operations:

1) Define the environment variable:
	LABOIMAGE, as the path leading to the 'help' directory (e.g. type
	'setenv LABOIMAGE /xxx/Labo_Sun4' if the path to the "help" directory
	is "/xxx/Labo_Sun4/help").

2) If you have the Allegro Common Lisp compiler and if you want to use the 
   expert system for image segmentation included in LaboImage 3.1 :

   a) copy the ".clinit.cl" file in your home directory.
   b) define the environment variable:
	CLISP, if you use Allegro Common Lisp, as the path leading to this
	compiler (e.g. type 'setenv CLISP /usr/local/bin').

3) Change directory to "Labo_Sun3" or "Labo_Sun4", depending on the machine
   type you have (Sun3/XXX or Sun4/XXX). Then, type one of the following
   commands:

	'make LISP=1'	if you have Allegro Common Lisp compiler and you
			want to use the expert system for image segmentation.

	'make'		otherwise

   The executable code will be called 'LaboImage'.


The files in the directory containing this README are:

	"LaboImage_3.1.pub"	the original notice for LaboImage;
				please read it.
	"LaboImage.doc.ps"      the LaboImage documentation, in PostScript.
	"format.description"	a description of the image format.
	"vision.txt"		a presentation of the Computer Vision Group
				at the University of Geneva.

Some images are in the directory "Labo_Sun4/images".

If you have images generated by a previous version of LaboImage, the binary
image descriptor file (xxx.desc) have to be converted in the new ASCII format
(xxx.des) using 'convertdesc.c'. To produce the executable code for this
converter, just type 'make convertdesc' in "Labo_Sun3" or "Labo_Sun4"
directory.
