Description: 'run_dcon' graphical interface to DCON                  

The "run_dcon" command is now available to users on hydra, and may be found in
the directory "/d/codes" (which is already in most users' PATH).  "run_dcon" is
a graphical user interface to the DCON code of Alan Glasser (Los Alamos National
Laboratory).  DCON is used for ideal MHD analysis of equilibrium data, and takes
as its input a GEQDSK file.  The typical command to launch "run_dcon" is:
 
    run_dcon &                 # if /d/codes is already in your PATH
    /d/codes/run_dcon &        # if /d/codes is NOT     in your PATH
 
"run_dcon" is X-based software and therefore requires that you have your DISPLAY
variable set to an X Window System display device to which you have access.
 
For further information, see the Help menu of "run_dcon", which was developed by
Scott Kruger (kruger@cptc.wisc.edu) of the University of Wisconsin.
