uvspec is part of the libRadtran package which is available at http://www.libradtran.org To unpack libRadtran issue the following commands on a unix system: gzip -d libRadtran-latest-version-number.tar.gz tar -xvf libRadtran-latest-version-number.tar Next cd libRadtran-latest-version-number and follow the instructions in the README and INSTALL files. Documentation is found in the doc directory as postscript files (libRadtran.ps). uvspec is found in the tools directory. It uses both C and Fortran code. Hence, to compile and link uvspec a Fortran compiler that is comaptible with C is needed. The configure script will find out whether your system's Fortran and C compilers are compatible. libRadtran is being developed on a Pentium powered system running the freely available linux operating system (www.linux.org).
