Installing and Running Beta Versions of Piranha

____________________________________________________________
Requirements for running Beta versions

All beta versions require the base tools to be installed
on the system for full functionality to be enabled.
If you currently have Piranha installed in the /usr/ifx directory 
skip to "Running the Beta Application"

__________________________________________________________________________
Getting the Piranha Base Tools

You can download the "piranha tools" installations
from http://www.ifx.com/pages/piranha/download.html  or via a CD if you received one.
The default installation places file in the /usr/ifx directory
on your local machine.


__________________________________________________________________________
Running the Beta Application

Once base tools are installed, using the betas
are real easy.

If  you have your base distribtuion in /usr/ifx you can
simply 'cd' to this directory and run piranha.

> ./piranha

If you have installed the ifx directory in a location other
than /usr you will need to do one of the following:

1. copy the files to the ifx/bin directory and execute them
   from there.  If you wish to keep the original version
   intact, simply rename the piranha executable to 
   be 'piranha_beta'  example:

   > cp piranha /usr/local/ifx/bin/piranha_beta.

   then to run the app:

   > /usr/local/ifx/bin/piranha_beta

2. You can run the piranha app from this directory if you first
   set the environment variable PNTSUPPORT.
  
   > setenev PNTSUPPORT /usr/local/ifx/piranha
   > ./piranha
