How long does it take to install ORCA for 
a first time user ?

Glenn,

did you go through the full process of configuring orca from scratch?  If
you
have copied orca from another machine where it was originally configured,
you
need to make sure that all the other modules used were copied as well.

If it's all there, there is loads of info in orca in pod format

e.g.
pod2text /src/apache/orca/bin/orca

To run it, using all the defaults,

try

/src/apache/orca/bin/orca -o -v /src/apache/orca/lib/orcallator.cfg

The cfg file will tell you where the output html pages are going - look for
the
html_dir line.

The only place I know of to get the readme is by downlaoding the original
tarball at http://www.gps.caltech.edu/~blair/orca/pub/ .

HTH,
Duncan.
