1. _I_n_t_r_o_d_u_c_t_i_o_n
The Silicon Graphics ImageVision Library (IL) 3.0 Execution
environment is required on any system that runs IL programs.
Applications such as Indigo Magic, the desktop environment,
Insight and the ImageVision tools all require this
subsystem. Since the necessary il_eoe subsystems are
installed as a default, most users should not have to
concern themselves with further details. However, the
curious user may be interested in using IL derived tools or
programming directly with the IL. You can refer to the
ImageVision Tools book or the IL man page for some example
applications derived from IL.
IL Execution environment software consists of a primary
library for C++ as well as supporting libraries for C and
Fortran based applications. Additionally, a set of
libraries used for supporting several file formats are
included in the il_eoe subsystems. The IL reference man
page contains more information about IL derived
applications.
Important note: for backwards compatibility, the IL 2.5.1
libraries are included in the ImageVision Library 3.0
release. This allows applications linked with IL
release 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 or 2.5.1 to continue to run.
However, to take advantage of performance tunes and
bugs fixed since the IL 3.0 release, or to work with
OpenGL you must recompile and relink against the IL
3.0 libraries. IL 3.0 is not binary compatible with
earlier releases.

After you install the online documentation for a product
(the _r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s subsystem), you can view the release notes on
your screen.
If you have a graphics system, select ``Release Notes'' from
the Tools submenu of the Toolchest. This displays the
_g_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s(1) graphical browser for the online release notes.
Refer to the _g_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s(1) man page for information on
options to this command.
If you do not have a graphics system, you can use the
_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s command. Refer to the _r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s(1) man page for
accessing the online release notes.
