102       UNIX:
103       </p>
104       <ol>
105         <li class="c10">Create an installation directory for
106         the program; for example, <span class="c9">C:\Program
107         Files\Sequin</span>. This directory may be anywhere on
108         any hard drive in your system.</li>
109         <li class="c10">In the installation directory,
110         type:<br />
111         <strong><code>      uncompress
112         sequin.*.tar.Z</code></strong><br />
113         or:<br />
114         <strong><code>      gzip -d
115         sequin.*.tar.gz</code></strong><br />
116         depending on which file you downloaded.<br /></li>

119         <strong><code>tar xvf
120         sequin.*.tar</code></strong><br />
121         This command will create a number of files and
122         directories within the installation directory. </li>
123         <li class="c10">Run an X window manager, if one is not
124         already running. Note that your system must be
125         configured for the appropriate version of the X Window
126         System (X11R4 or X11R5).</li>

138             <span class="c3">Choosing a compression type</span>.
139             The standard UNIX file compression program
140             <span class="c9">compress</span> squeezes a file to
141             make it smaller, and indicates that the file is
142             compressed by adding a <span class="c9">.Z</span>
143             suffix to the filename. The <span class=
144             "c9">uncompress</span> program unsqueezes the file
145             and removes the .Z suffix. Downloading and
146             uncompressing a "<span class="c9">.Z</span> file"
147             should work on any UNIX or Linux system. If your UNIX
148             or Linux system has the program gzip, you can
149             download the .gz version of sequin instead of the .Z
150             version. A <span class="c9">.gz</span> file is
151             smaller than an equivalent <span class="c9">.Z</span>
152             file, so it downloads more quickly. Uncompress (or
153             "unzip") a .gz file using the command:<br />
154             <span class="c14">gzip -d file.gz</span>
