Documentation

To install the 3matrix package, perform the following steps:

1. From this web page, download '3matrix-1.0.tar.gz'

2. In a convenient location, uncompress and unpack the software by
typing:
gunzip 3matrix-1.0.tar.gz
tar -xvf 3matrix-1.0.tar

This creates a directory ./3matrix-1.0 containing the distribution
files.

3. Change directories into the 3matrix-1.0 directory that was just
created.

4. Open and carefully read the README file there for instructions.

** NOTE: You will probably need to download the pdb-xx-20xx.tar file
as well - the README file will give you the necessary details.
