The Aladdin source code file that you will download over the Internet aladdin2.1.tar.gz is a compressed tar file. To uncompress the file on UNIX and Linux systems, type gunzip aladdin2.1.tar.gz This will give you the file aladdin.tar. To extract the directories and source code files, type tar xf aladdin2.1.tar The result will be a new directory called “aladdin2.d” containing the ALADDIN source code. You will need to compile the program before it can be run — see question 4. Note : If you have downloaded ALADDIN to a PC or Macintosh, then this procedure won’t work. Sorry.
