Readme This CD (or folder if you are using Render/Stair 7) contains the setup program f or the software and

an HTML manual for the software. To view the HTML manual sim ply double click on the file named MANUAL and this will open your web browser an d point you to the manual. The manual does not take much space (2 megabytes) and may be installed directly to the hard disk and accessed directly from the progr am. INSTALLATION To install the software: 1.Insert the CD in drive D:. 2.From the Windows Start Button, select, Run. 3.In the box type D:DSsetup or D:QMsetup or D:POMsetup depending on your progr am. 4.Press [Enter] or click on [OK]. 5.Follow the setup instructions on the screen. Generally speaking, it is simpl y necessary to click [NEXT] each time that the installation asks a question. Default values have been assigned in the setup program, but you may change them if you like. The default folder is C:\Program Files\DSwin32 (or C:\Program Files \QMwin32 or C:\Program Files\POMwin32). The setup program will ask you for registration information such as your name, u niversity, professor, and course. All items are optional except for the student/ user name that must be given. This name cannot be changed later! To change the o ther information from within the program, use Help, User information. One option that the program will question you about is whether or not you want t o be able to run the program by double clicking on the file name in File Explore r. If you say yes then the program will associate the proper extensions with the program name. This is generally very useful. Please note that the software inst alls some files to the Windows System directory. The installation will back up a ny files that are replaced if you select this option. Finally, a few users have their individual computers boot Windows from a network rather than from the hard disk. For these users there is an installation option that will install the OCX and DLL files to your system rather than the network. Select this option unless you have permission to write to this system directory . If you see a message saying that something is wrong during installation and you have the option of ignoring, then choose this option. The program will likely in stall properly anyway. The message usually indicates that you are running a prog ram or have run a program that shares a file with this software package.
