1. To run the application you have to login to alpha machines.
2. If you are logging from some other machine make sure you have permission
to open xsession and set DISPLAY variable properly.

3. Add /proj/asl/kedar/APStudio to your classpath. Muy CLASSPATH looks like 
this ==>

/proj/demsys/demjava/classes:/proj/asl/kedar/APStudio

3. The application requires 2 enviroment variables.

  a)  INSTALL_DIR
  b)  IO_DIR

4. Set the above variables using setenv or add them to your .software file.

Set INSTALL_DIR to /proj/asl/kedar/APStudio
and IO_DIR to your input/ouput directory.

The script for running the application is at /proj/asl/kedar/APStudio/bin
and hence add this to your path.

My .software file looks like ==> 

--------------------------Start of included file -----------------------

@gnu-all		# Make GNU utils override standard system commands
@all			# Get the default/standard set of applications.
PATH=/lib:/usr/lib:/proj/demsys/demjava/bin      # Include /lib stuff
@x-windows              # All basic X utilities
home			# Add ~/bin and ~/bin/$ARCH
dot			# Add the current directory (".")

######################################## AP-STUDIO settings
INSTALL_DIR=/proj/asl/kedar/APStudio
IO_DIR=/home/kedar
PATH=/proj/asl/kedar/APStudio/bin
######################################## AP-STUDIO settings


------------------------End of included file------------------------------


If you don't set those variables you are likely to run into problems.

5. To run the application enter apstudio at the command prompt.
   Screen shot :
	[fluorine: ~] > apstudio
	Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-Menu-Medium-R-Normal--*-120-*-*-P-*-I	SO8859-1" to type FontStruct
	Warning: 
	Cannot allocate colormap entry for default background


6.  Also one extra input. 

[fluorine: ~] > echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/lib:/arch/com/corba/lib /proj/demsys/demjava/classes/java/awt/:.

If you have any problems, please let me know.
