The executable file "formi386" is a statically linked binary file suitable for
all LINUX i386. This is the only platform available for the moment.

ATTENTION! The file "formi386" is an experimental program compiled only to
illustrate these examples. It is not a part of the official FORM
distribution and it is not guaranteed to work properly for any other
purposes!

The subdirectory ./formlink will contain a set of modules 
permitting FORM to be built in the client-server architecture. At present,
the directory contains only one module which is a C-interface 
for embedding FORM in other applications, see
http://www.arxiv.org/abs/cs.SC/0604052 Appendix D.

The subdirectories 
./system, ./pipe, ./extern, ./dblpipe and ./reduce
contain examples from the paper cs.SC/0604052 
(http://www.arxiv.org/abs/cs.SC/0604052)

The directories ./system, ./pipe, ./extern and ./dblpipe
must contain a soft link "fermat" to the executable file of the CAS FERMAT
(http://www.bway.net/~lewis/). These examples were tested with FERMAT 3.6.4.
See the file InstallFermat

The directory ./reduce contains examples concerning interaction between FORM 
and the CAS REDUCE (http://reduce-algebra.com/). Files  ./reduce/runreduce, 
./reduce/runreduce1, ./reduce/runreduce2 and ./reduce/runreduce.pl contain
the path 

/export/pc/reduce

which must be changed according to the local REDUCE installation.
