Installing Irie Pascal (Linux Edition)

Irie Pascal is distributed as a compressed archive (i.e. ipl-eval.tar.gz or ipl-210.tar.gz).

The suggested installation procedure is as follows:

Log in as root.
Create a directory to store Irie Pascal (e.g. /usr/local/irie).
Copy the archive into this directory.
Uncompress the archive and extract the files, using:
```
 tar zxf ipl-eval.tar.gz
```
or
```
 tar zxf ipl-210.tar.gz
```
Copy the executables (i.e. ipc and ivm) into a suitable directory (e.g. /usr/local/bin), which is in the path.

Uninstalling Irie Pascal (Linux Edition)

Irie Pascal (Linux Edition) does not make any behind the scenes modifications to your system or install any files on your hard disk, so uninstalling is very simple, just erase the files.
