All you should need to do is gunzip/untar the binary distribution, point
your app to it (either by hacking its Makefile or setting the SWARMHOME
environment variable), and run `make'.

ZI> However in Makefile.conf it says: 

### OTHERLIBDIRS needs to be set so Swarm can find X11, Tcl, Tk, BLT,
###   tclobjc, and objc libs. Note: we use the file libtcl.a, not libtcl7.4.a
###   Insure that libtcl.a is really tcl7.4, libtk.a is really tk4.0.

This relates to source builds.  The comment is obsolete; I've now
updated it.  Thanks.

Certainly (but, again, this is for a source build).
