                    Tecplot upgrade to release 8.0

Tecplot 8.0 is now the Athena default. To run version 7.51 now, do:

	add tecplot
	tecplot -ver 7.51 &

at the Athena prompt. 

To run demos, type "rundemo" after adding the tecplot locker. These may not
all work properly as the vendor has not fully updated them to release 8.

The User's Manual and Reference Manual are available online, in Adobe
Acrobat format, in files /mit/tecplot_v8.00/distrib/doc/80rm.pdf and
/mit/tecplot_v8.00/distrib/doc/80um.pdf respectively.
