        This subdirectory contains a set of gzipped TINKER executables
        for Intel-compatible PC's running under Red Hat Linux or other
        Linux variations. Each of the files contains one compressed
        executable, except for the "linux.tar.gz" file which is a
        compressed tar archive containing the full set of executables.
        The programs were built using the Intel Fortran 8.0 for Linux
        compiler. These executables are not for use with the Force
        Field Explorer graphical interface to TINKER.

        Please note that in order to use the TINKER package, other files
        are required. In particular, force field parameter sets, examples
        and test cases, and documentation can be found as part of the full
        distribution on http://dasher.wustl.edu/tinker/. Source code is
        also provided in case you want to build a customized version.

        These TINKER executables are dimensioned for 10000 atoms maximum.
        Other, more restrictive, limits apply to certain memory intensive
        programs. Since TINKER is written in static allocated Fortran and
        makes no attempt to manage its own memory usage, your computer
        must make available at startup all the memory and/or swap space
        a TINKER program might eventually require. For the largest of the
        programs, nearly 300 Mb is needed. If larger or smaller versions
        of the executables are desired, it is straightforward to change
        the master dimensions in the "sizes.i" source file and build your
        own set of executables using the GNU g77 compiler or a commercial
        Fortran compiler such as Intel, PGI or Absoft.
