+
+My best friend in graduate school overseas ran into trouble getting these
+programs working, so I decided to help her out. What you have here is Fiorella
+Castelli's updated release of Robert L. Kurucz's original suite of programs.
+
+Kurucz's website:
+
+http://kurucz.harvard.edu
+
+Castelli's website:
+
+http://wwwuser.oats.inaf.it/castelli
+
+No matter how you look at it, downloading the source code from those sites
+file-by-file is extremly tedious and prone to errors. So what exactly did I do?
+I ported the Castelli codebase to GNU Autotools in an attempt to make life a
+little easier and decided to release it as a tarball.
+
+
+# Why is this package called "kasym" and not KURUCZ or CASTELLI?
+
+"KaSyM" == "Kurucz ATLAS Synthesis Models"
+
+Castelli took the time to port the archaic VMS code to Linux/Unix, however
+I feel like it would be wrong to call it "CaSyM" for obvious reasons.
+
+The random documentation on each of the two sites made me realize all of the
+programs were tied to each other in one way or another. For example, you can't
+run SYNTHE without ATLAS9 or ATLAS12, so there is little point to downloading
+these programs individually. That, and I had to call it **something** in order
+to distribute it to others.
+
+Keep in mind that I am not rebranding the software itself but rather issuing a
+name for the complete software package.
+
+
+# Why GNU Autotools?
+
+Autotools is simple and convenient.
+
+Compiling each file by hand gets confusing and difficult to track after
+a while.
+
+
+# Compiling
+
+The Intel Fortran compiler (ifort) is *required* to build this suite.
+
+A 30-day trial of `ifort` can be obtained here:
+
+https://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-parallel-studio-xe
+
+This software *will not* compile with `gfortran` or `g77`. Don't even bother.
+
+## STEPS
+1. ./configure
+2. make
+
+I do not recommend running "make install" the resulting binaries generated
+by 'make' rely on files in their parent directories for execution. Unless I get
+requests to reorganize the codebase to be more "sane" I'm just going to leave it
+alone.
+
+
+# Obtaining additional files
+
+This is where picking and choosing individual datasets comes into play.
+If I were to include everything found in this suite the tarball would be ~10GB.
+
+Note:
+It is possible to issue a recursive "wget" to mirror the two sites to your
+local computer, including all the linelists and extraneous data in one shot, but
+that's up to you.
