NIST Data Flow System II (NDFS-II) quick notes:

- If you are a returning user, please read API_Changed_Please_Read.pdf 
  located at the root of the project. 

- A running data flow server is required on 
  each host if you want to use this host in a
  NDFS-II application. 
  Just launch 'sf2d' to start the server.
  If the repertory $SF2_ROOT/bin/admin is not
  in your path, go to this folder and launch sf2d.

- Some client nodes examples are provided with the
  NDFS-II. See the README file in the 
  $SF2_ROOT/src/clients folder.

- You can create your own kinds of flows. To see how
  to do it. See the README file in the $SF2_ROOT/src/flows folder.

- Some tools are provided to make the use of the NDFS II
  easier. Read the README file located in the
  $SF2_ROOT/src/tools folder.

- Start browsing the API documentation at
  $SF2_ROOT/Documentation/API/html/index.html
