+<h2>Getting Started</h2>
+
+<h3>What's Required</h3>
+<ol><li>a Fortran 90 compiler</li>
+ <li>a netCDF library including the F90 interfaces</li>
+ <li>the C shell</li>
+ <li>(optional, to run in parallel) an MPI library</li>
+</ol>
+<p>
+DART has been tested on many Fortran compilers and platforms.
+We don't have any platform-dependent code sections and we use
+only the parts of the language that are portable across all
+the compilers we have access to.
+We explicitly set the Fortran 'kind' for all real values and do
+not rely on autopromotion or other compile-time flags to set the
+default byte size for numbers.
+It is possible that some model-specific interface code from
+outside sources may have specific compiler flag requirements;
+see the documentation for each model.
+The low-order models and all common portions of the DART code
+compile cleanly.
+<br />
+<br />
+DART uses the
+<a href="https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/netcdf/index.jsp">netCDF</a>
+self-describing data format with a particular metadata convention to
+describe output that is used to analyze the results of assimilation
+experiments. These files have the extension <em class=file>.nc</em>
+and can be read by a number of standard data analysis tools.
+<br />
+<br />
+Since most of the models being used with DART are
+written in Fortran and run on various UNIX or *nix platforms, the
+development environment for DART is highly skewed to these machines.
+We do most of our development on a small linux workstation and a mac laptop
+running OSX 10.x, and we have an extensive test network.
+(I've never built nor run DART on a Windows machine - so I don't even
+know if it's possible. If you have run it (under Cygwin?) please let me
+know how it went -- I'm curious. Tim - thoar 'at' ucar 'dot ' edu)

+<h3>What's nice to have</h3>
+
+<strong>ncview</strong>: DART users have used
+<a href="http://meteora.ucsd.edu/~pierce/ncview_home_page.html">ncview</a>
+to create graphical displays of output data fields. The 2D rendering is
+good for 'quick-look' type uses, but I wouldn't want to publish with it.
+<br /><br />
+
+<strong>NCO</strong>: The <a href="http://nco.sourceforge.net">NCO</a> tools
+are able to perform operations on netCDF files like concatenating, slicing,
+and dicing.<br /><br />
+
+<strong>Matlab</strong>®: A set of
+<a href="http://www.mathworks.com/">Matlab®</a> scripts designed to
+produce graphical diagnostics from DART. netCDF output files are also part
+of the DART project.<br /><br />
+
+<strong>MPI</strong>: The DART system includes an MPI
+option. MPI stands for 'Message Passing Interface', and is both a library and
