diamond -- simulate single electron transistors


This program is intended to simulate the I-V curves measured on a single
electron transistor in the regime where tunneling takes place throuhg
individual electron quantum states. It reads a configuration file
containing the description of the device as well as the experimental
conditions. The latter can be overriden by command-line options. The I-V
curve is output to stdout as numbers in ASCII form.

Building
========

Just type

        make

You may want to edit the makefile to your taste before, specially if you
do not use gcc or GNU install.


Inastalling
===========

Type

        su -c make install

and provide the root password to the prompt. This will put a stripped
copy of the binary in /usr/local/bin and will copy the manual in
/usr/local/man/man1 and the sample configuration file in /usr/local/lib.
If you want to install other files (e.g. HTML files) you will have to
figure out where you want them to live.

Alternatively, you may want to install the program as a normal user. To
do this, set INSTALLDIR to your home directory in the makefile and run

        make install
