Kostas forwarded this to me.  This seemed of general interest, so I'm 
forwarding it to the list.

> Radiance distributions, helper applications and installation
> instructions/scripts in a convenient ISO file which you can download
> from our software distribution page at <http://www.esru.strath.ac.uk>
> (Software -> ESP-r -> downloads -> ESP-r_Cygwin_binaries) and burn to a
> CD and install.

> No longer do you need to select individual Cygwin modules, we have
> gathered the relevant portions of Cgywin onto the CD. Confused about
> where it all goes - we have written clear instructions and created
> scripts to setup ESP-r and Radiance so that once the install is
> complete, you can get to down to work.
>
> Included in the CD are a recent (October 2003) Cywgin setup.exe and
> Cygwin download cache folder, Radiance 3.5 (except for TIFF related
> modules), ESP-r (November 2003 build), instructions and scripts as well
> as executables for several helper applications.
>
> No network connection is needed during the install process, but if you
> want to update Cygwin you can use the setup.exe for this. If you want
> to customize ESP-r we have included a ESP-r source distribution and
> you can also check the ESRU web site for fresh distributions.
