The C source code for HAPPY is available for non-commercial users only by anonymous ftp. Commercial users should contact Richard Mott .

HAPPY is written in ANSI C. It has been compiled and tested on various UNIX platforms (Linux, IRIX, SunOS). It requires the NAG C library , so you will need a license for this product in order to compile the program locally.

Alternatively use the new R version of HAPPY which does not require a NAG licence.

To install HAPPY, download the compressed tar file HAPPY.tar.Z, decompress it and untar it. You will find the following directory structure:

SRC contains the source codes, EXAMPLES contains the example data files used for mapping QTLS for emotionality in mice on chromosomes 1, 10, 12, 15.

To compile:

1. cd into SRC and edit Makefile so that the NAG include files and libraries are on the include and link paths.
2. type make (gmake on Solaris platforms)
3. the executable happy will be in the diretcory ./SRC/$UNAME/happy, where $UNAME is the name of your machine architecture, returned by the `uname` command (eg Linux, IRIX64, SunOS).
4. Copy the executable to some directory on your path, or add this directory to it.
