-To use these idl tools, you need to download some climatogies and mask files;
+First, you need either :
+- IDL (version 6.4 or above), see : http://www.exelisvis.com/ProductsServices/IDL.aspx
+  In this case, you also need to download SAXO which is a free package of IDL scripts:
+  define $PATH_SAXO, the path where you will download SAXO and get it through svn with the following command.
+  > PATH_SAXO=...
+  > svn checkout http://forge.ipsl.jussieu.fr/saxo/svn/trunk/SRC $PATH_SAXO/SAXO_DIR/SRC
+
+- or the IDL Virtual Machine which is free to use and does not require a license to run , see :
+  http://www.exelisvis.com/Support/HelpArticlesDetail/TabId/219/ArtMID/900/ArticleID/12395/The-IDL-Virtual-Machine.aspx
+  the virtual machine requites std_main.sav that is distributed with this README.
+
+Next, to use these idl tools, you need to download some climatogies and mask files;
 that you can find here: http://dodsp.idris.fr/reee512/NEMO_OUT/ORCA2_LIM/

 # define your std_plot_vardef.sh or std_ts_vardef.sh file
 #----------------------------------------------------------------------
-Use the examples provided in :
+These files are needed to define your PATHs, the experiments and variables names you used in your experiment.
+ - std_plot_vardef.sh is used to do all plots based on temporal mean (maps, vertical profiles...).
+ - std_ts_vardef.sh is used to do all time-series type of plot.
+
+To build you own std_plot_vardef.sh or std_ts_vardef.sh file; use the examples provided such as:
  - std_ts_vardef.sh_example1 or std_ts_vardef.sh_example2
  - std_plot_vardef.sh_example1 or std_plot_vardef.sh_example2
-to build your own std_plot_vardef.sh or std_ts_vardef.sh file.
 
-This file is needed to define you PATH, the experiments and variables names
-
-you can copy std_ts_vardef.sh_example1 con std_ts_vardef.sh
-and std_plot_vardef.sh_example1 std_plot_vardef.sh
-
+Note that if you use the IDL Virtual Machine, the variable SAXO_DIR defined in std_plot_vardef.sh or std_ts_vardef.sh is not used. Any definition will be ok.
