I4 System Download Procedure
- If you are downloading for Windows-NT, see the note below before proceeding.
- Transfer one or more of the compressed tar archives below to your computer by clicking on the appropriate link.
- Create a directory to install the I4 system in and "cd" to that directory. We recommend /usr/local/I4.
- Use "uncompress " to uncompressed the tar archive(s)
- Use your local tar program to expand the archive(s). On most systems this can be done by executing
tar xf
once for each archive, but check your local system's documentation. Once the archives are expanded, they may be removed.
- See further instructions in the appropriate README* files.
I4 Archives Available for Download
The I4 system version 1.08 may be downloaded in source form, or in one of several rather elderly pre-built binary distributions. Also available is a verification suite to test for proper installation of the system.
I4 system has been successfully built for Cygwin-32 for Windows-NT, however licensing issues make it difficult for NSR to offer a pre-built binary distribution on this platform. If you wish to run I4 on Windows-NT, you will need to configure Cygwin-32 on your NT box, and then build I4 from the source distribution.
