More information can be found at: http://www.cmrr.umn.edu/swift/ It no longer includes the rcswift sequence and reconstruction. Any references to rcswift or python in this package are stale and should not be used! -- CONTENTS -- The package is distributed as a self-extracting archive. -- UNPACK -- These packages are designed as an overlay to your vnmrsys user directory. To unpack them, ** after backing-up your vnmrsys directory **, for example: tesch@hermite:~$ ./INSTALL_CMRRpack_v0.4d_master.run ... -- UPGRADE -- Installing to a directory that already contains a version of CMRRpack will update that directory to the new/current version. A strong effort will be made to backup any files that are different from the CMRRpack files, but you may want to make a backup of your own befor installing anyhow. -- INSTALL -- best to install in default ~/vnmrsys directory when asked for copy documentation, please type n After the unpacking, change directories and run only the following make targets: cd vnmrsys make clean make djswift There will likely be some compiler warnings, etc. Don't worry. A successful make is shown in the file SWIFT.MAKE.SUCCESS -- QUESTIONS -- Curt Corum -- REFERENCES -- Please reference the following papers on the SWIFT sequence and methodology: Djaudat Idiyatullin, Curt Corum, Jang-Yeon Park, Michael Garwood.
