MARS is implemented in Maple, Matlab, and C and should be installable onto Macintosh, PC, or Unix Systems

• There are two MARS releases: one is a gnuzipped tar file for Unix distribution and another is a WinZip file for PC distribution. The MARS release should be installed into a directory called "MARS". After unzipping the file, type MARS contains multiple subdirectories: C, DOC, EXAMPLES, MAPLE, MATLAB, TEST.

• The MARS release is a compressed tarfile which you should install in a directory called "MARS". After unzipping the file, type MARS contains multiple subdirectories: C, DOC, EXAMPLES, MAPLE, MATLAB, TEST.

• Running MARS/MAPLE Under Windows: Make a new shortcut for running Maple and set the "Start in:" directory for this shortcut to "MARS\MAPLE"

• Running MARS/MATLAB Under Windows: After starting Matlab, type cd("MARS/MATLAB") to change the working directory to MARS/MATLAB.

  NOTE - you will need to install MATLAB's Symbolic Toolbox, and use MATLAB V5 or higher to use MARS in MATLAB

• Running MARS/C on Unix Machine: Install LAPACK and compile lapack.a, blas.a, tmglib.a, and libf2c.a. Run GNU make on this subdirectory
