MIST (Modal Interferometer Simulation Tool) is a MATLAB(R) toolbox to
simulate optical system in the paraxial approximation, using a modal approach.

INSTALLATION
------------
MIST is distributed as a source code package for MATLAB. You have downloaded a
compressed file. You can expand it in every directory you want. This will
create a MIST folder into the current working directory. This folder is the
root of the MIST toolbox. You should add it to the MATLAB path:
addpath('./MIST');
To automatically add the path every time MATLAB starts, you should add an
addpath(full-path-to-mist) command into the startup.m file which MATLAB
reads every times it is launched.
Refer to the MATLAB documentation for a getting started guide and more
detailed information. You can access the MATLAB documentation with the
command 'doc' and browse to the MIST Toolbox section.
