If you are reading this then you probably +have already unpacked the distribution. You can make it by typing +"make all" this will make libcd.a the cd library, as well as two +example programs, cdtest and color16. Please read over the documentation +in cd.html before using the package. + +Every effort has been made to ensure that the generated cgm files +conform to the standard, however, if you do not use the library +properly, you could generate invalid metafiles that no one is able +to read, so be careful. + +Documentation for cd is included with the package, and is available from +http://speckle.ncsl.nist.gov/~lorax/cgm/cd.html +General information about CGM is available many places on the web, including +http://speckle.ncsl.nist.gov/~lsr/cgm.htm +This distribution may be retrieved via ftp from +zing.ncsl.nist.gov in the directory "cgm" it will have the +name cd followed by the version number. + +I have tested CGM Draw on Solaris, Ultrix, Linux, and IRIX.
