Also, all software (compressed and uncompressed) can be retrieved from the PPI node at http://www.igpp.ucla.edu. A directory called FFEXTRACT (or PVROT) will be created with all the needed source code and libraries. A file in the directory called INSTALL.TXT will explain install/compile procedures. A file called FFEXTRACT.TXT (or PVROT.TXT) will explain how to use the software.
