The files available will create an /examples subdirectory with the following structure:

Directory	Contents	Type	Description
/examples	/vol1	directory
/examples	/vol2	directory
/examples/vol1	/xxx	directory	vol1 examples
/examples/vol2	/xxx	directory	vol2 examples
/examples/vol1/xxx	xxx.bug	ascii	bugs input file for example xxx
/examples/vol2/xxx	xxx.dat	ascii	data file for example xxx
	xxx.in	ascii	initial value file for example xxx

Point your browser or FTP client to the directory /pub/methodology/bugs/examples on ftp.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk and get the file "exdir05.tar.Z".

Go to the examples page and click on the relevant icon. A dialog box will then appear giving you the option to save the file to a selected directory.

You will need to uncompress and untar the files by typing

  uncompress exdir05.tar.Z       
  tar xvpf exdir05.tar

which will unpack the directory structure into your current directory.

Point your browser or FTP client to the directory /pub/methodology/bugs/examples on ftp.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk and get the file "exdir05.exe".

Go to the download page and click on the relevant icon. A dialog box will then appear giving you the option to save the file to a selected directory.

Unpack the directory structure by typing

exdir05 -o -d  <return>

The file contents will be extracted automatically and placed in your current directory. In some window systems it may be possible unpack the file by simply trying to open it.
