Note that this is for the c-shell only... If you're using the Bourne or Korn
shells the procedure is similar, but the file is wvsetup.sh, and should be
run in the current shell (not as a subshell) by typing
. <pathname>/wvsetup.sh

You can, of course, extract the necessary commands to set the env. variables
from the file and transplant them to your .profile script, but whatever way,
if you've got it right then typing "wave" (or "waveadv" if you've got the
new beefed up version) should set you going with no problems.

No big deal here (your system administrator should have told you
this step). There is a file

/u4/pvi/wave/bin/wvsetup

that will define all the environment variable for you. At the UNIX prompt
type

csh> source /u4/pvi/wave/bin/wvsetup

and then...

csh> wave

You should maybe put the "source" line in your .login file, or add the
following to your .cshrc file

alias WAVE "source /u4/pvi/wave/bin/wvsetup"

Then you would need only type
csh> WAVE
csh> wave

to get things going.


Good luck!
