tar xvf Tierra6_02.tgz
cd Tierra6_02

Afterwards, compile Beagle with the X11 frontend
(debug)
(no debug)
$
$
$
$
cd Bglclnt

cd ..
Then, compile genebank gb0
$

$
cd tierra/gb0
../arg c 0080.gen 0080aaa.tie
cd ../..
Now, you're ready to go. Run the provided run.sh script
$ sh run.sh
And then you should see Tierra starting and then the Beagle window pop up. In
Beagle, the cool stuff is in the Window menu, in particular Window -> Overview.
Have fun!
