CNS v1.0 is installed on the departmental SGI servers. This installation is preliminary pending beta-testing.

Before running CNS, type source /remote/server/cns/setup_cns. Then:

• To obtain brief information about some important commands please type cns_info.

• To access the CNSsolve HTML interface, type cns_web

• To run the CNSsolve program with the task files: cns_solve < task-file > log-file

• To transfer input parameters from an old to a new task file, use:
  cns_edit -def old-task-file new-task-file

• Files which are used by the tutorial and input task files can be obtained from /remote/server/cns/inputs.

• Test files which can be used to verify correct compilation of the code on a new system can be obtained from /remote/server/cns/test.

• See the CNS v0.9 CNSsolve Info Page

• See the CNS v0.9 CNSrefine Info Page

• See the CNS v0.9 CNS_refine example files, including:
