EGSnrc configuration script.

This script configures EGSnrc for use on your system. The configuration
options will be saved in a configuration file inside the $HEN_HOUSE/specs
directory. You can use this configuration by setting the environment variable
$EGS_CONFIG to the path of the configuration file.

You can use this script to generate as many different configurations as you
wish (for instance, you may have different compilers installed or various
operating systems on the same file system). If the environment variable
$HEN_HOUSE is set for previous EGSnrc installations, it should probably be
unset prior to calling this script.

This script will ask you questions to configure EGSnrc.

Any response you enter overrides the suggested default shown in brackets.
This implies that if you want to add something to the default answer, you
must re-type this default answer as part of your response.

To accept the default answer shown in brackets: just press enter.
To submit an empty answer, overriding the default: enter '--' as a response.
To get help for some questions requiring input: enter '?' as a response.

You can exit this script at any time by typing Ctrl-C.

Press enter to continue.
