<P>
While <A NAME="tex2html1861"
  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="tex2html1862"
  HREF="http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu"><B>GMT</B></A> lies its symbiotic relationship with
<I>UNIX</I>.  We therefore recommend that <A NAME="tex2html1863"
  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:

<LI>Install <A NAME="tex2html1867"
  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.
