# FORCIT & TRACKIT README

FORCIT is a program that produces a variety of diagrams 
related to first-order reversal curves (FORCs).
TRACKIT uses the FORC distribution grid file generated
by FORCIT to create a 1-D profile of the FORC distribution.

FORCIT, TRACKIT, their subroutines, and a Makefile are
available in a gzip/tar and stuffit formats in files:

	forcit.tar.gz
	forcit.sit

The files are available at the Web site 

	http://paleomag.ucdavis.edu/Software/forcit

Simply download one of the files from the web page (Option click for Macs). 
The file will likely automatically uncompress if you are using a Mac. 
If it does not automatically uncompress, then uncompress it using Stuffit Expander
or the gunzip command in a terminal window by typing:

	% gunzip forcit.tar
	% tar -xvf forcit.tar

To make (compile) the code, type
	make all

Properties With FORCIT Software. Eos, 2007 (in press). 

and for many more details see the manual:
