NO WARRANTY:

There is no warranty, expressed or implied, for the use of this package. The 
author is not responsible for any possible damages in using the software and 
no technical support is available to users of the software.


INSTALLATION:

To compile the source files on Windows PC, use the included the Intel Visual Fortran 
Project file or the MS Visual Studio Solution file. The file LAPACK_Solver_Double.lib 
contains the LAPACK subroutines compiled with Intel Visual Fortran for 
Windows 32-bit OS only.


USAGE:

To run the program, you will need to have one input file:

input.dat --- contains information about the BEM model (nodes,
              elements, boundary conditions, and points inside the domain where
              potential will be evaluated).

Explanations of the parameters and entries of the data in the file 
are included within these files, the source code, and the Fast Multipole BEM book.

The output files are:

output.dat       --- contains results of the model;
phi_boundary.plt --- for plotting the potential/flux on the
                     boundary using Tecplot;
phi_domain.plt   --- for plotting the potential inside the 
                     domain using Tecplot;
xy.plt           --- for plotting the mesh using Tecplot.
