1. Downloading BodyGen source.

BodyGen is available for Linux and Windows plataforms.
If you want the Linux source please download bodyGen.tar.gz,
otherwise download bodyGen.zip.

 In Linux use the commands: 

    +   gunzip bodyGen.tar.gz
    +   tar -xvf bodyGen.tar

to create the BodyGen tree.

The BodyGen three contains the following files and directoies:

Files in BodyGen root directory:

README.txt - This file.
LICENSE.txt -  License file.
LOG - History of bodyGen developement.
bodyGen.html  - Summary of bodyGen commands use.

3. Building BodyGen excecutables:

a) In Linux type make in the bodyGen/src/ directory. The
exceculatble file (bodyGen)  will be stored in the 
directory bodyGen/bin.

b) The file visualstudio6.0/bodyGen.dsw is the project file
for VC++6.0. Load this file in VC++6.0  and build the
excecutable (bodyGen.exe). The excecutable file will be
saved in  the directory visualstudio6.0/Debug/.

4. BodyGen libraries

BodyGen uses two open sources libaries. The user interface
was built using fluid included in fltk (The Fast Light Toolkit, www.fltk.org).
Vector operations in 2-D and 3-D we implemente using VL
( http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/user/ajw/www/software/index.html#VL)
