 The LAMPOS tool was developed at the Met Office and is used in positioning and defining a limited area domain. The user draws the limited area on a map, and the program calculates the position of the corners and the rotated pole.
 
-The current version is 3.2A and this deals with both the old and new dynamics.  This has been upgraded to include the latest grid rotation code from UM6.1.  An over view of the tool can be found in the user guide.

+exec /usr/bin/wish -f /home/umui/lamposvn4.2/lampos.tcl
+}}}
 
-Type:
-{{{ 
-tar - xvf lampos.tar
-}}}
-This will create a directory called `lampos` in your home directory.  Next, add the following line to your .kshrc file:
-{{{
-alias lampos='$HOME/lampos/lampos'
-}}}
-and execute this.
+Make the script executable and put it in a directory on PUMA where it can be found in your PATH.
