      README FILE FOR SINGULAR KERNEL (Full source distribution)
      ==========================================================
Singular is normally distributed as executable program. However, if
you tell us a good reason, then we might make the source code of
Singular available to you. Please send an email to 
		
		singular@mathematik.uni-kl.de

with such a request.

If we grant you access to the source code of Singular, you will get a
password with wich you can decrypt the source distribution of
Singular. 

To unpack and build Singular, follow these steps:

1.) Decrypt using the command:

enigma [password] < Singular-<x.y.z>.tar.gz.crypt > Singular-<x.y.z>.tar.gz

If you do not have the `enigma` command installed on your machine, then 
you first have to built the `enigma` program as follows:
(i) Get the file enigma.shar contained in this directory

(2) run 'bin/sh enigma.shar; make' -- this will create the 'enigma'
    program in your current directory

2.) unpack the Singular sources with
	gzip -dc Singular-<x.y.z>.tar.gz | tar -pxf -

3.) run 
   './configure; make install'
