 I. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
    -------------------


     . PC under 32 bits operating systems (Windows NT, 95)
     . graphical color screen with 1024*768 minimum resolution


 II. HOW TO INSTALL WinPLOTR:
     -----------------------


   In this directory, there is only one file named:

         winplotr.zip

   This file contains the beta version of WinPLOTR and some tools (FullProf,
   DicVol, Treor ...) that can be executed from the WinPLOTR Graphical
   User Interface.

   To install programs, settings and documentation files:

   1. copy 'winplotr.zip' file on your hard disk
        ex: c:\temp

   2. unzip 'winplotr.zip' file:
         ex: c:\temp> pkunzip winplotr

      The following files will be expanded in the current directory.

      Winplotr.zip file contains:
       . readme.txt:         this file
       . install.exe:        WinPLOTR install procedure
       . winplotr.exe:       WinPLOTR executable file
       . winplotr.set:       WinPLOTR settings file
       . winplotr.ins:       WinPLOTR user's guide (text mode)
       . winplotr.htm:       WinPLOTR user's guide (HTML language)
       . winplotr.new:       What's new in WinPLOTR
       . windic.exe:         DICVOL91 windows version (D. Louer)
       . windic.ins:         DICVOL91 windows version user's guide
       . wtreor90.exe:       TREOR90 windows version (P.E. Werner)
       . treor.ins:          TREOR90 user's guide
       . mendel.exe:         Neutron periodic table (tool for WinPLOTR)
       . supercel.exe:       SuperCELL windows version (search of
                             commensurate super-cell or incommensurate
                             propagation vector)
       . supercel.ins:       user's guide for SuperCELL


       . and all the files needed to run the Windows version of FullProf,i.e.:

          - wfp98.exe     ---- FullProf.98 executable file for Windows
          - wmfp99.exe    ---- Multi_patterns version of FullProf for Windows
          - lf90.eer      ---- File for run-time errors
          - fullprof.dir  ---- Starting directory for fullprof
          - fullprof.ins  ---- Manual of the program (text-file)
          - fp_frame.htm  ---- HTML version of the manual to be used
          - fp_toc.htm         locally with a browser (Netscape, ...)
          - fp_text.htm
          - fullprof.ps   ---- Introduction to FullProf. PostScript file.
          - fp98.new      ---- Last minute information about FullProf.98
            (some documents may probably make reference to the 3.5 version)
          -  wmfp99.txt    ---- some words about the multi_patterns version


          -  Series of PCR, DAT, INT files for testing FullProf.98 in
             different conditions (see examples.txt file)

   3. execute install.exe:
       ex: c:\temp> install

       By following the instructions, this program will install
       WinPLOTR and FullProf automatically and create  WinPLOTR
       and Fullprof environment variables if necessary.


   4. reboot your PC if necessary (see 3.)


 III. HOW TO EXECUTE WinPLOTR
      -----------------------

      WinPLOTR can be executed by clicking on an 'alias' or icon of the
      desktop, or by invoking WinPLOTR from a DOS window.
