-              ISAP/cxx/sparse2d INSTALL PROCEDURE UNDER UNIX/LINUX/MACOS X/CYGWIN/MINGW
-			 this toolbox has never been tested under Windows.
-
-1. PREREQUISITE
-
-  a. Mandatory:
-
-   - C++ compiler (gcc strongly recommended)

-  
-   Please use a package management tool to properly install cfistio and the other dependencies. On linux you can use apt (Ubuntu).

-
-2. UNPACK THE ARCHIVE 
-

-
-  c. Uncompress
-     tar xfz sparse2d.tgz
-     
-3. SETTING UP sparse2d AS PART OF ISAP
-
-  If you want to install sparse2d as part of ISAP, be sure to define the ISAP environment variable
-pointing to the ISAP directory.
-
-4. BUILDING
-
-  To configure the sparse1d toolbox for your machine type:
-        cd sparse2d/build
-        cmake ..
-
-    Once CMake is done, to create the toolbox and compile all the C++ files, type:
-
-        make
-        make install
-        
-    The library, headers and executables will respectively be installed in the lib, include and bin folders.

-
-        make clean
-	make

- 
-6.  ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
-
-    In order to use sparse1d in the iSAP environment, some environment variables need to be
-    defined or extended:
-        ISAP              -- standard ISAP variable
-        PATH               - extend to include $ISAP/bin
