Procedure

An institute wishing to obtain an embedded licence for the use of GTS-GRAL software must place an order with the company directly, who will deliver the manual and give CERN permission for distribution when the licence has been signed and on payment of the fee. The address to contact is:

GTS-GRAL GmbH
Friedberger Strasse 25
6100 Darmstadt
West Germany.
 
Tel. +49.6151.73090
Fax. +49.6151.77718

Once the licence has been signed and payed for, and CERN has received confirmation of this from GTS-GRAL, then it will be possible to obtain the software via the CERN Program Library Office. To order additional copies of GKSGRAL or GKSGRAL-3D manuals contact the Program Library.

The Electronic Mail address for the program library is: CERNLIB@CERNVM.CERN.CH

An attempt is being made to maintain a list of embedded-licence holders. Thus, the following information should be provided:

1. The address of the institute.
2. The date the contract was signed.
3. The name of the contact person(s). (Not the person who signed the contract, but the person responsible for installation and maintenance.)
4. The Electronic Mail address and telephone number by which they can be contacted.
5. The operating system for which the software is licenced.
6. The distribution medium required.

Affiliated institutes should be aware that there is little spare effort available at CERN to provide software support, although a member of the Graphics Section has been designated to coordinate the interface between CERN and external graphics users, and may be contacted via GRAPHICS@CERNVM.CERN.CH The graphics contact people at affiliated institutes will also receive a Newsletter which is distributed via E-Mail. In addition, some first-line support is available from 'volunteers' in various CERN member states. The up-to-date list of names of these people will be sent to those institutes holding licences.
