A special note for AIX users of Ferret

 Two environment variables unique to the AIX must be set for Ferret to run 
 properly.  The FORTRAN run time environment variable XLFRTEOPTS needs to be 
 set to "namelist=old" in order for Ferret namelist reads to be successful.

 Namelist reads are used in accessing an early Ferret data format called
 "GT"; some of the demo data sets distributed with Ferret are in this 
 format.  An example of the command to set this environment variable in 
 the c shell is:

 	% setenv XLFRTEOPTS namelist=old

 In addition the environment variable LANG must have the value "C", set in
 the c shell in this way:

	% setenv LANG C


 These commands are included in the ferret_paths file template, used to 
 initialize environment variables needed to run Ferret.  The
 environment variables will be defined automatically when the command
 "source ferret_paths" is given.   For more information on ferret_paths 
 please see the Ferret installation guide.
