FASTLINK Portability information for Linux

Linux is a freely available implementation of UNIX for PC's. Linux comes with the gcc compiler. According to Xaoli Xie, Shriram Krishnamurthy, and Kurt Hornik, the main programs in FASTLINK port fine to Linux. No change in the Makefile is needed.

Porting the auxiliary programs is a problem. Kurt Hornik has succeeded in getting most of them to work with some modifications to the source code. Detailed instructions can be found in the file hornik.txt in the subdirectory linux (under fastlink).

Valerio Aimale has packaged up executables and made them available by FTP.
