                  TINKER Notes for Apple Macintosh under OS 9
                  -------------------------------------------

           This subdirectory contains a set of script files that can
           be used to build the TINKER program package on an Apple
           Macintosh running OS 9 and using the Absoft Pro Fortran 6.0
           compiler. Depending on the memory and disk resources of the
           machine, it may be necessary to decrease some of the master
           array dimensions in the sizes.i file. The Mac OS 9 version
           of TINKER also needs an alternative final.f routine to keep
           the executation window open until a return is entered after
           program termination.

           All of the build scripts can be run by opening the script
           file in any text editor, saving the script to the clipboard,
           pasting to an MPW shell window, then highlighting the lines
           to be executed and hitting the Enter key.

           TINKER running under OS 9 or earlier is no longer supported
           as the developers do not have access to a test machine.
