<P>
While <A NAME="tex2html1928"
  HREF="http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu"><B>GMT</B></A> can be ported to non-<I>UNIX</I> systems such as
Windows, it is also true that one of the
strengths of <A NAME="tex2html1929"
  HREF="http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu"><B>GMT</B></A> lies its symbiotic relationship with
<I>UNIX</I>.  We therefore recommend that <A NAME="tex2html1930"
  HREF="http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu"><B>GMT</B></A> be installed in
a POSIX-compliant <I>UNIX</I> environment such as traditional <I>UNIX</I>-systems, Linux,
or Mac OS X.  If abandoning your non-<I>UNIX</I> operating system
is not an option, consider one of these solutions:

<P>
<DL>
<DT><STRONG>WINDOWS:</STRONG></DT>
<DD>Choose among these four possibilities:

<P>

<OL>
<LI>Install <A NAME="tex2html1931"
  HREF="http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu"><B>GMT</B></A> under Cygwin (A GNU port to Windows). 

<P>
</LI>
<LI>Install <A NAME="tex2html1932"
  HREF="http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu"><B>GMT</B></A> under SFU (Windows Services for <I>UNIX</I>); a free download from
Microsoft<A NAME="tex2html1926"
  HREF="footnode.html#foot33190"><SUP>L.1</SUP></A>.

<P>
</LI>
<LI>Install <A NAME="tex2html1933"
  HREF="http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu"><B>GMT</B></A> under DJGPP (another GNU port to Windows/DOS).

<P>
</LI>
<LI>Install <A NAME="tex2html1934"
  HREF="http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu"><B>GMT</B></A> in Windows using Microsoft C/C++ or other
compilers.  Unlike the first three, this option will not provide you with any
<I>UNIX</I> tools so you will be limited to what you can do with
DOS batch files.
