     6 First of all, libmoto is not required!  If you don't have it, you

     7 can simply remove the library reference from the project file and

     8 everything should compile just fine.

     9 

    10 The libmoto library replaces certain functions in the MathLib and

    11 ANSI libraries.  Motorola has optimized the functions in the library

    12 to run very fast on the PowerPC.  As I said above, you don't need

    13 this library, but it does make things faster.

    14 

    15 Obtaining Libmoto:

    16 

    17 	For more information about Libmoto and how to doanload

    18 	it, visit the following URL:

    19 

    20     http://www.mot.com/SPS/PowerPC/library/fact_sheet/libmoto.html

    21 

    22 	You will need to register for the library.  However, the

    23 	library is free and you can use it in any commercial product

    24 	you might have.

    25 

    26 Installing Libmoto:

    27 

    28 	Just follow the instructions provided by the Motorola 

    29 	README file.  You need to make sure that the Libmoto

    30 	library is before the ANSI and MathLib libraries in

    31 	link order.  Also, you will get several warnings stateing

    32 	that certain functions have already been defined in 

    33 	Libmoto.  (These can safely be ignored.)

    34 

    35 Finally, you can thank Kate Stewart of Motorola for twisting my

    36 arm at the Tcl/Tk Conference to provide some support for Libmoto.
