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


     . PC under 32 bits operating systems (Windows NT, 95)
     . graphical color screen with 1024*768 minium 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 ...) 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
       . mendel.exe:         Neutron periodic table (tool for WinPLOTR)


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

       By following the instructions, this program will install
       WinPLOTR automatically and create a WinPLOTR environment
       variable if necessary.

   4. delete all the files contained in 'winplotr.zip' file.

   5. 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.
