{{{
 Add a new module into BDF package takes several steps.
}}}

1 Prepare you source codes and store it in a directory named "newmodule" .

2 Copy the directory "newmodule" into BDF source code directory $BDFHOME/source and add it to svn version control by "svn add newmodule".

3 Copy a Makefile from any BDF module directory to "newmodule" to compile and link you program.

4 If you program is linked correctly, you will have a executable file name "newmodule.x" in the directory $BDFHOME/bin.

5 Append a line with the content "newmodule" into the file "$BDFHOME/database/program.dat". This file defines all available BDF modules which will be executed by BDF driver.

6 Edit the file "$BDFHOME/database/xianest.mh". Add your module name "newmodule "into variable PRGLIST.
